Turkish National Team needs to give all focus to the Czech Republic and possibly make another historical win.
Turkish National Team will be coming out to play an important game against Czech Republic where it would be aiming to get a win with at least 2 goal difference and hope that all other results would go into their hands for the best 4 of the 3rd placed teams.
For the Turkey to have such a difficult task to achieve its need to be said is mainly fault of the Turkish National Team with poor performance against Croatia and Spain which led them with 0 points at the group and -4 average prior to last game of the tournament. As it tends to be always case for Turkish National Team the situation is not related to them but how others perform. Similar case has happened during qualifiers but there it did have better end to the qualifiers and hence did deserve to be at the France this summer. Right now, Turkish National Team needs to forget about previously two games and give direct focus to this game as with this focus it would only get a win with ignoring all of the issues within the team.
Turkish National Team has a chance to write once again history if it gets to last 16 but it is a difficult task to and would need lots of luck during tomorrow's game. Its just need to provide its best performance not only at the tournament but of all time in its history.
Czech Republic just need to win to get to last 16 stage.
Czech Republic meanwhile needs to get a win against Turkey and surely will not provide defensive football against Turkey which could make more interesting as draw is not suitable for both sides.
Czech Republic is much easier and straightforward for the qualyfing to the next stage. It is clear at the ranking of the 3rd placed team that obtaining 4 points should be enough to carry on tournament at the last 16. Czech Republic as the team is in better mood mentally with incredible comeback it has done against Croatia during 2nd week game. Their aware of their task and will focus to the win of the game and hence we would experience game between two sides who need to win. Of course, Turkey risks more if it loses game but Czech Republic 2 points obtained from draw will not be enough. Hence we would see likely an attacking football by Czech Republic which could damage more to Turkey according to performance of the previous games.
For Turkey task is to win with at least 2 goal difference and wait for others, while Czechs just need a win which means psychological advantage over Turkish team prior to game as their have simpler task. The risk would be all to the Turkish team.
Most players were not mentally and physically ready to Euro2016.
It is important meanwhile, to also identify what were reasons for such a bad performance by Turkish National Team and even through in time of writing it still has chance to get to the last 16 there are some important issues which needs to be identified.
One of the is the fact that main player of the national team Arda Turan didnt hardly play during past season due of half-season ban and also not achieving much gametime in Barcelona during 2nd half of the season. Caner Erkin, Gokhan Gonul transfer uncertainty has also affected to their performance negatively. Usually all those issues doesnt bring much problem when team as overall performs well but when things dont go well those factors tend to affect more especially mentally which transforms to performance wise. Number of the players due of transfers uncertainty, lack of time at teams and personal reasons didnt come at the perfect conditions factor which was mentioned also by Turkish National Team head coach Fatih Terim.
The team mentally and physically seemed not to be entirely ready to Euro2016 and this could be identified as one of the main reasons of this poor performance.
