Our National Football Team defeated Georgia 4-1 in the 4th match of Group E of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and maintained its World Cup hopes. After the match, our National Team captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu made remarkable statements.
HERE ARE HAKAN ÇALHANOĞLU’S STATEMENTS
“I would like to thank the people of Kocaeli for not leaving us alone. I want to thank the whole team, everyone. It was a nice gift for me. It will remain a memory throughout my career. I was very happy. My only option was always my country, I am proud and happy. We wanted to put them under pressure in the first half hour. I think we started well. Especially in the first 30 minutes, when we scored the goals, we acted by thinking about the goal difference. We did not break away from the discipline of the game and that was the most important thing.”
“Merih always talks to me before the matches. We have players who both shoot and shoot. We are dangerous on both sides. I am happy for Merih, she will leave home with 2 goals today. I congratulate all my teammates.”
“We played poorly against Spain, but it was very important to react afterwards. We made important scores for the goal difference. We will also think about the goal difference in the Bulgaria match. We will now look at the last match. Anything can happen in football. We are hopeful.”
