What happened in Turkish football today? 14/06/2024



Euro 2024 could be one of the most exciting tournaments in recent years.

Euro 2024 has been started with host Germany and Scotland, as this competition is expected to be played at high level due of so many favourites with having strong squads and also every single side having its own quality to some extend.

With competition also taking place in Germany, which has set itself to be among footballing nations in the world, it would be reasonable to expect for this tournament to be played at high level and be one of the most exciting European Championship in recent years. With teams like Germany, Portugal, Spain and France being among favourites there is high number of sides which including Turkey could provide some difficult moments for this top sides. With such gap being reduced in recent years it would be reasonable to expect for all games in the tournament to be played at high level and excitement.

Therefore, with differences between footballing nations being reduced in recent years it would be reasonable to expect for this tournament to be played at very high level as been noted.

Montella would need to solve defenders issue if it wants to get good results at Euro 2024.

Coming to the Turkey specifically, there is lots of analysis into how side would be performing at this tournament as there is high hopes for players like Arda Guler and Kerem Yildiz, Hakan Calhanoglu but there are some worrying signs.

Turkey without doubt does have some strong players which could individually could become stars of the tournament with there is high expectations towards Arda Guler but it needs to be mentioned that it is being unclear how would other players especially defenders as they did show some serious signs of downsides of the players in the friendly games including last game against Poland. Vincenzo Montella without doubt would need to focus especially at defence if it wants to get good results as if it wont able to solve this issue it might even concede from underdogs like Georgia during game. 

Therefore, Turkey does provide some signs of worries prior to Euro 2024 at defence and this issue needs to be focussed from Vincenzo Montella to get some good result.

Turkish youngsters got golden opportunity to show themselves to Europe

It needs to be mentioned that there is big expectations from high number of young players at Euro 2024 who could have kick start for their career in such tournament which includes Turkish players.

Without doubt, leading youngsters in Turkey who have high hopes at the Euro 2024 are being Kenan Yildiz and Arda Guler as many media outlets around Europe put them into list of players who would be showing outsitanding performance and find some key goals during tournament. Needed to say this game also could become inportant for likes Kerem Akturkoglu, Baris Alper Yilmaz and Semih Kilicsoy who are less known around Europe compare to Yildiz and Guler and hence this tournament could also put them into European footballing map as long as their use their chances in effective manner.

Turkey is coming out with young squad and this tournament would give those players to show themselves to Europe.
