Arda Güler and France Match Press Reflections

'ARDA GÜLER WAS NOT REWARDED FOR HIS EFFORTS'

Marca: Although Arda Güler stood out as a leader in every sense of the word in the match, he was not rewarded for his efforts. The Turk, who set out to fight against a giant like the French national team, was the driving force of his team and they were successful from time to time.

Because his talent extends far beyond his football skills. He also has the ability and dedication to inspire loyalty in his teammates, which makes him even greater. He lost the match, but left the field with his head held high.

'FRANCE HAD DIFFICULTY IN Türkiye FOR A LONG TIME'

Bild: France had difficulties in Turkey for a long time. In the second half, the home team had the first big opportunity to take the lead, but goalkeeper Mike Maignan made a magnificent save by deflecting Yüksek's header under the crossbar (50'). Shortly after, the French brutally scored the goal: Bayern Munich star Michael Olise passed the ball to Mbappé; Mbappé sent the ball to the near corner and made the score 1-0.

The Real Madrid star's joy lasted only a few seconds. While still celebrating, Mbappé clutched his left knee in pain. Shortly after, the captain had to leave the game. Television footage has so far not provided a clear explanation as to the cause of the injury. But one thing is certain: There is great concern that he will be away from the field for a long time.
