A National Football Team drew 3-3 with Luxembourg hosted at Fatih Terim Stadium in the UEFA Nations League C League. Stefan Kuntz made statements after the match. Kuntz said, “We are a team that is always learning and improving. Sometimes there are ups and downs. If we lost, we would have taken a step backwards. We managed to catch the draw. Today was not satisfactory. Good things happened, bad things happened, but bad things were more. “First of all, we managed to rise in the Nations League. There will certainly be losses. We can discuss this matter however we want. If we learn a lesson from this draw, it will not be a regression for us. But if we do not learn, then there is a problem.” used the phrases.
WE CONTACTED GOALS FROM INDIVIDUAL FAULTS
Referring to the 3 goals conceded, Kuntz said, “We lost our best 3 defenders. Let’s not lose sight of that, too. We conceded goals due to individual mistakes. We didn’t have 6 top players. It was a game that everyone should learn for themselves. We have to summarize this match properly.” said.
Speaking about Ozan Kabak, Kuntz said, “Ozan Kabak also had an injury. When Çağlar got injured, we had to make such a change.” Preparing for defensive play is done from offensive to defensive. We didn’t do that well tonight. Ozan Kabak played in his last league match, Merih Demiral played in his last matches. We had already called 4 defenders to our squad and they all trained. However, one day before the match, Merih and Ozan were injured. Çağlar was injured during the match. How could I know that? After Merih, Ozan and Çağlar’s injuries, we called Cenk Özkaçar from Valencia and invited him to the national team camp. Everyone, from the striker to the goalkeeper, has to struggle, they have to feel this pain and be successful. Some of our players need to play more regularly in their teams, which is also a factor.”
I PROMISE
Kuntz said, “I promise you, I will never joke around in Turkey from now on. I made a joke about Sergen and I had a headache. Yesterday I joked, ‘maybe I’ll be here, maybe not.’ I’m not joking again. Ferdi Kadıoğlu right-back, left He can play in many positions such as fullback etc. I gave him a chance today as he is a wildcard player whose position I can change according to the course of his game. We wanted to take advantage of his creativity and he did a good job.” said.
Speaking about İsmail Yüksek, Kuntz said, “Since İsmail Yüksek and İrfan Can are new players, I did not assign them in the starting 11 today. For the Faroe Islands match squad, we will first look at the status of the players in our squad and decide accordingly.” said.
WE DID GOOD WORK OFFICIALLY
Kuntz said: “There are various obstacles in front of you. Today we drew, we were not defeated. We did good offensively and we tried until the end. We were not knocked out, it was just a warning to us.” used the phrases.
