Turkey will compete at playoff round.
Turkey got very important win against Montenegro as it brought them 2nd spot at the qualifying round group stage and would hence be competing at Play-off round where it would be meeting with some difficult opponents.
It could be mentioned that Turkey didnt provide very good performance against Montenegro especially during start of the game as it did concede as early as 4th minute and it took them long time to get back into game as Kerem Akturkoglu did find partly fought partly lucky goal. Stating that, Turkey did improve its performance during 2nd half of the game with Stefan Kuntz did motivate player likely in half-time going through some tactical mistakes he showed during 1st half and provided some opportunities to younger players in the squad. With hence providing trust to Orkun Kokcu who been introduced during 2nd half, side did find crucial goal and did get very classy goal which helped side to end group stage at 2nd spot.
Stating that, it needs to be noted that side would need to improve with how it performs but this belief and fighting spirit did play important role.
Stefan Kuntz takes lion share for success with Turkey.
Without doubt Stefan Kuntz, among luck during previous games, did help Turkey to get very important 2nd spot during qualifying round with Kuntz managing to go through psychological pressure which side had.
Therefore, it could be argued that Turkey didnt provide high level game which people would be seeking from this side but it needs to be remembered that side had been until psychological pressure due of poor results and performance since Euro 2020. Therefore, most important thing from Stefan Kuntz to let players get self-confidence and provide some discipline which been lacking in recent period. Without using emotional factor which exists in Turkish football, he did manage that and hence did lead for side. Now, he main focus would be to improve tactically his side for play-off round.
Turkey didnt necessarily showed great performance but Kuntz led team to belief themselves and hence for this success he takes high credit
Olimpiu Morutan will play against Fenerbahce.
Good news had come from Galatasaray front, as its player Olimpiu Morutan has resumed training session after missing previous day training session.
Our blog has informed about possibly risks for Morutan to be missing derby game but to some extend there were expectations that this injury wasnt too serious and it ended up being like that which means that player has been back into training session and certainly would be playing at derby game.
Injury hence is not being very serious and Galatasaray will be able to come out with ideal squad to derby of two continents.
