What has happened yesterday to Darius Vassell, an Ankaragucu striker who formerly played 22 times for England National Football Team, is just surreal.
Only a few months after he was given a hero's welcome when joining the Turkish club in the summer, the 29-year-old footballer is in the middle of a chaos now, because of the new management at the club.
It seems that the new president doesn't want Vassell in the team. So Vassell has been kicked out of his hotel room in the middle of the night, after a brief talk between the hotel management and the club officials.
As if this is not absurd enough, Vassell moved out of the hotel with his packed-up suitcases and an Ataturk portrait under his arm. When asked about the portrait while taking the driver seat of his car, Vassell explained to a few reporters:
"I've been seeing Ataturk photos wherever I went. When I made a research about his life, I was overcome with admiration. So I bought a portrait of him from the shop in the hotel. I'll hang it wherever I go."
