National Team Coach Vincenzo Montella and Arda Güler make statements.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM MONTELLA’S STATEMENTS
Vincenzo Montella: “Regarding injuries, we have slowly started to include Hakan Çalhanoğlu. Kenan has not started training yet, but he will start too. We are also cautious with Kerem and Ferdi. I can say that it is a group consisting of teams close to each other. There is never such a thing as easy in football.”
“WE WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE PROUD”
We are a team that knows what we can do. We have our country that we need to represent in the best possible way. We want to make everyone proud. That’s why we want to get all the results we want by progressing step by step, but we need to work hard for this. That’s why we will work hard.
“The weather conditions will be hot at the campsite where we will stay, but this will not deter us. Because the World Cup is such an organization.”
ARDA GÜLER: WE PROVED IT TO THE WHOLE WORLD
Arda Güler: “I think the reason why world football puts us at the forefront is that we created this environment. We have shown very important struggles for 2 years. We have proven to the whole world that we are at a certain point. I know we will do better. I can say that we are very excited. This is our dream. The last time we went to the World Cup, I was not even born. We want to play in the best way. We want to give everything.”
OUR FIRST GOAL IS TO LEAVE THE GROUP
“Our first goal is to get out of the group. Then we want to do our best, match by match.”
JERSEY NUMBER 8…
“I am very happy to wear the number 8 jersey. We want to show that we did not come here in vain.”
