Turkey's head coach, Vincenzo Montella, shared his expectations for his team's opening World Cup match against Australia. The game is scheduled for Sunday morning at 7:00 AM Bulgarian time. This marks Turkey's first appearance in the tournament since 2002, when they secured a bronze medal.
“We are very excited and believe we can succeed. We know the challenges that await us at the World Cup, but we want to enjoy ourselves, be proud of our efforts, and make our country proud. I tell my players it's not their fault that Turkey hasn't been at the World Cup for 24 years, but they can be proud that we are here again. Now they need to play their best football, give their all, and not worry about anything else,” Montella stated, as quoted by BTA.
The Italian coach emphasized that calmness and a lack of emotional burden would be key to their success.
