Turkey lost 2-1 away to Faroe Islands in UEFA Nations League. After the match, TFF Board Member Hamit Altıntop made a statement. Altıntop said, “We do not welcome the last 2 matches either. We are sorry. It was a bad evening. Such a game and defeat will not be accepted. We are aware of this. We take the responsibility. There is no escape. “We said that this is a process, a change. Just as we did not come to the market after 4 games, today we criticize ourselves and accept it. A new administration has arrived. There are such things as not accepting. There will be criticism. If Yapıcı covers Turkish football with all its stakeholders, it has a place in our heads. We do not have an individual goal here. We want to move Turkish football forward. If you don’t run, if you don’t put your head in the duels, if you don’t play decisively, you will lose to Faroe and Luxembourg. 3 months ago we threw 4-5 on all of them, today we are giving this image. It will not be accepted. We will make our players feel this. My biggest fight with club presidents is infrastructures. We couldn’t lay the foundation in a place where so much money is circulating. I do not deny or accept the reality of today, but if all the stakeholders are not together, we cannot move forward. Don’t we see that our players are in development? We strive to instill the right things in our players. Of course, we want to participate in the cups and be successful.”
WE CONTINUE WITH KUNTZ
Responding to the criticism of Kuntz, Hamit Altıntop, I am in charge of the National Team. We say we will continue with Stefan Kuntz. What else can we say?”
