A National Football Team will face Czechia in a special match. A National Football Team Coach Stefan Kuntz and Samet Akaydın are making statements before the tough match to be played in Gaziantep.
Stefan Kuntz: “One of the biggest reasons why we have been able to add good players with a different understanding of the game to our team is the success of Turkish teams this season.”
“Balance is very important for young players. It may be better for them to play with experienced players on the pitch.”
Samet Akaydın: “I would like to thank the people of Diyarbakir very much. There was an excellent environment, we played well and gave them a win. We have the same atmosphere in Gaziantep, and we want to present the victory to the people of Gaziantep with a good game tomorrow.”
“The National Team is an incredible place. I am very happy and proud to be here. I think this place will add a lot to me. It is not an easy system to play, but I am used to this system. If the opportunity comes, I will do my best, I hope I can take advantage of the opportunity that comes to me.”
“I never like to give up. When I go to matches, my teacher Montella says, ‘Don’t set limits on yourself. Put something on every match.’ My young friends should never give up. When they work, everything comes to them.”
“It is important that we bring in players like Salih Özcan and Ferdi who play in a different national team. We continue to work for these as well.”
“This is a long-term journey. We make our thoughts and plans long-term. An undesirable situation may occur. We will work on it continuously and consistently.”
“Czech Republic is a strong team. But we are focused on ourselves, we are concerned about how we can show our game on the field, how we can make ourselves better and ready until March.”
“I was used to an environment like this. I am someone who wants my players to have a direct dialogue with me when we analyze. But we see an improvement here as well. Hamit and Kenan Bey gave me information about this.”
“The signals and body language that the players give us are going in a completely different direction and we take the energy from that.”
