Our National Football Team will face Kosovo in the play-off final match of the FIFA 2026 World Cup European Qualifications. While we were holding our breath before this giant match, home team coach Franco Foda made a statement at the press conference.
HERE ARE FODA’S WORDS:
Türkiye is a very strong team. There is Arda, Kenan, Hakan. We’ve come this far with all our might. Our chance is 50 percent. I believe it will be a good match.
I did not play Edon Zhegrova in the Slovakia match due to tactics. We needed taller players. We will decide for the match tomorrow. I can’t explain my tactics. However, Türkiye is a very strong team. They attack with short passes. We will make counterattacks as soon as we get the ball.
Enthusiasm and motivation are everywhere in the city! Even the press conference is enthusiastic. Never before had there been so many journalists and reporters at a press conference! We conceded 3 goals from Slovakia, but Slovakia was a very good team. We conceded 2 goals due to our own mistakes. We will take precautions in this match. Our biggest plus is that we will play this match on our home field.
