What happened in Turkish football today? 12/06/2024



Turkey has opportunity to work out on mistakes which were present at friendlies.

With 6 games left until opening game for Turkey at Euro 2024 against Georgia there is negative aspect which does hit eye which is national team didnt win single game out of 4 in 2024, but positive side of coin is that all games are being friendlies.

Turkish National Team does alive for Euro 2024 with high hopes but in same time there is precaution feeling when looking how Turkey performed in previous years both at club and national level including most recent failure at Euro 2020. Even through this blog did mention, more like to raise optimism that this are being friendly games and hence it might be better for team to lose, it does affect into continuity and confidence of side as it would been feeling more stable if it had winning run or at least get win against Poland in last game. Still, this game did show weak points of national side and now it would be main task for Vincenzo Montella to sort out this issue and it could achieve that.

Turkey doesnt enter in good run but in same time it does show optimism with an effort given in last 2 games and it would need to improve but have same focus for Georgia game.

Mert Gunok and Irfan Can Kahveci didnt attend training session.

Turkish National Team players Mert Gunok and Irfan Can Kahveci didnt attend first training session in Germany for Euro 2024 due of precaution reasons as there are some injured players at the team.

This decision by technical staff does show that Irfan Can Kahveci and Mert Gunok are being close for recovery rather than being recovered from injury and such action could be seen with good understanding as both players would be expected to be in starting 11 during game against Georgia and also in upcoming games and hence it would be important to take care of their condition. It also needs to be reminded that huge role is being held to players who would need to give extra attention on their health so recovery would be done perfectly.

Both players are expected ready for Georgia game on 18th June as this decision has been done in precaution thinking.

Turkey had its first training session in Germany with getting backing from supporters.

As been mentioned above, Turkish National Team did have its first training session at German soil next day after arriving from Poland as it had session with its supporters.

Decision to have training session with fans being pleasant would be able to raise motivation for competition and make it even visible from how much support it gets and hence without providing too much pressure reminding that every Turkish person would be supporting and expecting good performance. This move would be able to players to look forward for game against Georgia and other game with high hopes for sure.

Turkey has opened most crucial chapter at preparation for Euro 2024 and those training sessions would be most important ones.
