What happened in Turkish football today? 30/06/2024

Vincenzo Montella would look ways to strength midfield without Hakan Calhanoglu.

Turkish National Team as would been expected is fully concentrated to game against Austria at Euro 2024 last 16 game as it would be looking for different strategic game as Hakan Calhanoglu and Samet Akaydin will not play at the game due of yellow cards.

With both players being important ones, it needs to be mentioned that negative impact especially would be felt at midfielding as Hakan Calhanoglu both due of experience and level of performance would not be able to play crucial role at attacking midfielding position and could provide an extra effort for other players at the game against Austria and this factor should be explained and worked on of Vincenzo Montella at training session as role of Arda Guler and Ferdi Kadioglu both being strong attacking midfielding players be even more crucial and play important role with creating chances.

It does look hence that main area of improvement does look to be at finding solutions at an attacking line of midfielding role against Austria.

Role of Turkish fans would once again play an important role.

Without doubt, Turkish National Team supporters which meanwhile has also become most visited supporters even passing home ground supporters Germany would be playing an important role at this game.

It needs to be mentioned that Austria is being neighbour country of Germany and does have strong historical connections and hence there would be expectation that rise of supporters coming from Austria would be coming as we enter to knockout stages and home ground likely to support Austria. Hence, role of its supporters at the game would become crucial as it would be need respectfully to make more noise and make awareness of Turkish players, Austrian players and everyone at the field and push team forward for 90 minutes.

Hence, Turkish fans certainly would be playing crucial role as they did so far in the tournament and this could provide extra push to players without doubt.

Turkey needs to keep Austria possession of ball as low as possible

One of the main surprises of the tournament Austria has been shown one of the strongest attacking game of whole tournament and has been seen as  one of the candidates for title and role of Turkey defenders would be crucial one.

Austria players does show fast game with gaining back lost ball in very fast manner being one of the best at whole tournament and hence defence needs to be especially focussed and prevent Austria to get high possession, confidence at attack and let them provide high number of shots to the goal. This would be main key of the team and it is certain that Vincenzo Montella is especially working on this aspects during training session.

Key hence does look to prevent Austria to get control of the game and with achieving that it might get pleasant and by many  surprising result against Austria.
