The team was what it was. Turek went to pieces (as he himself later admitted) after he signed a contract extension for big money. Instead of playing the way he had always played, he put pressure on himself to do more and prove he was worth the money. Everything he did to try to improve made him perform worse.

It was a perfect example of what happens when you ignore the rule, ‘If it ain't broke, don't fix it.’
