In a similar vein, one of Turkish football’s prominent figures, Ilhan Mansiz, also had a stint in Japan. After his success in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, notably scoring the golden goal against Senegal, he transferred to Japan’s Vissel Kobe in 2004.

In 2004, Mansiz transferred from Besiktas to Vissel Kobe, where he was met with great enthusiasm in Japan. However, the football culture and lifestyle in Japan presented a new experience that Mansiz had to adapt to.

During his time in Japan, Mansiz struggled with injuries, which negatively affected his performance and led to a premature end to his career at Vissel Kobe.
