This game reminded me that Turkey is usually a passionate and strong team. The players’ appearance yesterday seemed very grippy, focused and above all one thing: with a clear game idea that matched the player material. That could possibly be the big difference between the new and the former coach.
We should also note that some nominal regular players are out.
One point against Latvia is enough for the European Championship ticket and anticipation is already growing for the friendly match in Berlin against Germany.
Our national team will also be one of the youngest participants at the next European Championships, just like in the 2021 tournament. We also have exciting names in the starting lineup that will form the starting line-up with names like Arda Güler, Kenan Yıldız, Can Uzun, Kökçü, Bertug Yıldırım , Ferdi Kadıoğlu & co. They are all excellent kickers with still a lot of development potential
That’s exactly the funny thing about Turkey. You now win against Croatia after a change of coach, and everyone celebrates the team and says that it was the coach’s fault, and then you lose the last game in which you only need one point and then it’s the coach’s fault again and you want your head see roll.
I really don’t think short-term success is as important in any country as it is in Turkey. Whether that’s with the national team or in the club. Plus the expectations are so unrealistic that it’s funny. I really enjoy following Turkey and I also enjoy watching the Süper Lig. But when I see my friends suddenly betting on Champions League winners Gala or Fener etc. when they reach the Champions League, it’s very funny But what I think is best is that they really mean it 100% seriously
