Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who defeated Latvia 3-2 away in the 3rd week match of Group D of the 2024 European Championship (EURO 2024), spoke after the match.
Here are those words:
Thank God we got 3 points, but I’m not happy. When the guys are 10 people, we hold our breath until the last second. These matches are always difficult for us for some reason. We should not make excuses by saying that the pitch is small, we should play better.
I carry the captain’s responsibility on me. When we play bad, I say it straight. We should win more easily. We are happy that we won, but we must be able to let the audience watch the match comfortably.
We have to play smarter and more stable. Hopefully, we will carry this victory to Samsun.
