Our National Football Team lost 2-0 to Australia in the first match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group D. Our national team coach Vincenzo Montella made noteworthy statements after the match.
HERE ARE MONTELLA’S STATEMENTS
“Tactically, the match did not go beyond our expectations. We knew that they were sitting back and waiting. They also used counterattacks. We conceded two goals, we are very sorry. We reflected the team spirit on the field and played with heart. If we continue this, we will start to get the results we want. We will do better in the next match.”
“Actually, without continuity, you cannot give full performance in match rhythm. We tried everything, we could not score a goal. If we had scored a goal, it would have been very different.”
