After the scandal with the Turkish national team that took place yesterday, one of the team's veterans, Arda Turan, decided to say goodbye.
On Monday, the Turks played a friendly match away against Macedonia, which ended 0-0, and the nerves of the veteran couldn't take it.
While flying home, the attacking midfielder attacked journalist Bilal Mese on the plane - grabbed him by the throat and cursed at him with uncensored words.
During the press conference held today, A. Turan announced his departure from the national team.
"Bad things happened last night. But do I regret it? No, I feel relieved now.
I talked to the team's coach and the federation president and revealed my decision. I will always stand against spreading false news," said Turan, who represented Turkey 97 times.
