Ilhan Fakili and Gregory Proment's prophecy: Does modern football still trust patience?

When Ilhan Fakili received the call about his national team call-up, Gregory Proment was also informed. The French coach smiled, knowing his former protege's worth. Proment said he had not known about the call-up, but it was great news; the player deserved it and would soon become a key member of the national team. Proment is not the type to exaggerate. He described how he spotted Ilhan's talent in his first match under his guidance at Clermont. The young player had great technique and dribbling, along with the right mentality. He also detailed the special finishing drills and decision-making improvements that transformed the player. Talking about tactics, Proment said Ilhan can adapt to several systems but is most effective on the left wing in 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 formations. He has already adapted to Vincenzo Italiano's system at Besiktas. Proment also praised Besiktas' attack, saying the players will feed each other and score goals. Proment believes Ilhan still has huge potential, and top European clubs will soon start following him if he maintains this level. The transfer market, however, requires actual contracts, not just praise. Muckraking perspective: data and hype can lead to pressure; a young player needs time and patience. The real story is the quiet patience of a coach who shaped a raw talent.
