	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports -- Murat Yakin's comeback boosts Switzerland's chances
		GENEVA – The national obsession over Murat Yakin's recovery from injury in the run-up to Euro 2004 underscores how important his fitness is to Switzerland's prospects.
		Yakin finally underwent an operation in March which initially ruled him out for most the remainder of the domestic season and the experienced stopper faced a race against time to be fit for the summer.
		Turkish by birth, both Murat and Hakan Yakin and hold dual citizenship and were detained by police after a UEFA Cup match in Turkey last year over suspicions they were avoiding military service.

	Yakin (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Abraham Yakin was born in 1924 in Jerusalem.
		Yakin's parents had a creative bent -- they met in Paris while both were studying mime with Marcel Marceau -- and after graduating from high school, Yakin opted to study filmmaking at New York City College.
		Yakin rebounded with his next assignment, which was his first film that he directed but did not write; Remember the Titans was a major box-office success, and moved him to the upper tier of bankable Hollywood talent.

	Murat Yakin à propos de la non-sélection de Hakan: la faute à Vogel? - Parlons Foot, le blog du football
		Murat Yakin commence par écrire que pour une fois, il va faire complètement abstraction de ses sentiments pour son cadet.
		Bref, Hakan se serait fait arnaquer et Köbi Kuhn aurait la mémoire courte, ayant apparemment oublié ce que Yakin avait fait pour lui et l’équipe nationale, notamment en acceptant de jouer — mettant ainsi sa santé en danger - contre l’Irlande 9 jours après s’être gravement blessé avec le FC Bâle.
		C’est sûr qu’un Hakan Yakin au sommet de son art, ça peut être mortel pour les défenses adverses.

		Midfield player Yakin had long been admired in his native Switzerland for his goalscoring prowess with FC St. Gallen, Grasshopper-Club and FC Basel, the club he inspired to a domestic double in 2001/02.
		Suddenly Yakin, whose elder brother Murat captains Basel, was the target of top clubs across Europe, and when Paris Saint-Germain FC paid around €1.5m for him last month, it was widely held that they had landed a bargain.
		Yakin's superb volley secured a 1-0 victory against Deportivo that revived their hopes; he was on top form in the 1-1 draw at Manchester United FC; and his performance against Juventus in the final game personified Basel's spirit as they earned a 2-1 win but were knocked out by the Italians.

		The Yakin boys and Gross were the cornerstone of the most successful period in Basle’s history with two domestic championships in three seasons and an incredible run in the Champions League two years ago which saw them eliminate Celtic and Liverpool.
		Gross plucked Murat back from the Bundesliga in 2001 and Basle won the title in their first full season with the brothers reunited.
		Murat underwent thigh surgery in March after an injury-hit campaign while Hakan went to Paris St Germain, returned to Basle, and then ended up with Stuttgart.

	Xtratime Community - Basel vs Deportivo
		Of course the usual suspects (Hakan Yakin, Rossi, Giminez) were upto their usual standard and i suppose Cantaluppi did another excellent (if underappreciated and underackonowledged) job in the centre of the field.
		Murat Yakin really surprised me, he was once again the chief on the pitch and you sometimes had the impression he was playing a little with some children or beginners (those people in yellow on the field), so confident and dominant was he in some situations.
		Unfortunately Murat Yakin wont be able to play because he's ill. He hasnt even made the trip to Coruña.

		Henchoz, who played for Switzerland when they were beaten 4-1 by Russia in Moscow last month, is expected to lose out to Patrick Muller of Olympique Lyonnais because of a perceived inability to form a good partnership with Murat Yakin of FC Basel.
		Yakin, elder brother of Switzerland's star player, Hakan Yakin, is regarded as the strong man of the Swiss defence and proved as much at Lansdowne Road twelve months ago when he was outstanding at the heart of a tough and rugged defence.
		But Swiss observers here suggested that the failure of Henchoz and Yakin to exchange even one pass in the course of the match in Moscow testified to an antipathy between the pair.

		Murat is beyond his peak though, imo at least.
		I think Murat is a very sensitive player who needs a positive and reinfocing environment to play at his peak level.
		In fact I think Murat was never better than he is now, and I'm pretty sure he wont chance the club again for a long time cause he realized that himself.

	Struggling Swiss are facing an uphill battle - [Sunday Herald]
		Murat Yakin of Basle lacks pace for an international centre-half and his partnership with Lyon’s Patrick Muller is suspect.
		Yakin’s predicament is especially grievous for the Swiss because he is their one outstanding creative player, or at least he used to be.
		The deep-lying forward, at 27 two years younger than his brother Murat in central defence, is a fraction of the force he was against Celtic, Liverpool, Manchester United and in Europe during season 2002-3.

		Hakan Yakin was again allowed behind the defence, beating Kenny Cunningham for pace and then dragging his shot across Given's goal.

		From Turkish origins, Yakin quickly developed a passion for football as a youngster alongwith his older brother Murat, and the pair were both destined for international football.
		He was again decisive at club level in 2002 as Basel went on to win the Championship and Cup double as well as causing a stir in their Champions League campaign, helping to eliminate Liverpool and surprisingly reaching the second round group phase.
