Why It Matters
The National Team lost 3-0 to Belgium in its third match in the UEFA Nations A League Group 1.
The National Team lost 3-0 away to Belgium last night in its third match in the UEFA Nations A League Group 1, and remained in last place in the group with 0 points and -7 goal difference at the end of the third matches. If the Stars and Crescents lose to Italy, which they will host on Monday, October 5, they will say goodbye to the Nations League A League and be relegated to the B League.
Making a statement after the match, Vincenzo Montella said, "Playing in the A League is a privilege, not a punishment. We have seen the level. I do not blame our players here in any way, there are different levels in football, the A League is such a level. The Turkish National Team is gaining experience." he said.
Ersun Yanal, one of the former coaches of the National Team, reacted greatly to these words of the Italian coach.
Speaking on the SMEX Sports YouTube channel, Yanal addressed TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu about Vincenzo Montella and said, "Do not take this rude man to the Italy match, send him immediately."
The highlights of Ersun Yanal's statements are as follows:
"If I were in a managerial position and my coach made this statement, I would call him and say 'I consider this a reason for resignation, go away'. If he doesn't, I say 'then go out and apologize to everyone'. What do you mean, we are not the team of this (A League) team? Then, before the match, you should have said 'sorry, I am withdrawing, I do not want to work here'. Can such nonsense be possible? Are you making fun of our minds? Are we stupid? Italian idiots! Go away, brother. Shame on me." "Oh! We are people who will be worthy of any place and will play in any way. These explanations hurt me so much."
"IF A TURKISH TEACHER MADE THESE STATEMENTS, HE WOULD BE DECLARED A TRAITOR"
"God forbid, if a Turkish teacher, Fatih teacher, Şenol teacher or Mustafa teacher, or me or Abdullah teacher, made these statements, they would be declared a traitor. Bad manners, get out of here. I have never been rude to anyone in my life, but this statement hit me in the heart. What do you mean, 'We don't deserve this place, we are not the team of this place'? If you went there, you are the team of that place. What a great rudeness."
"IF I WAS THE MANAGER, I WOULD SAY 'GO AWAY', IT'S COMING TO THIS!"
"I'm calling out to İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, Mr. President, please, don't do it, for God's sake, are you kidding me! It's a shame. If I were in the presenter's chair, I would say 'Go away', this has come to this. Please, dear colleagues, dear players, react. This is an insult, my coach cannot talk like this. I cannot imagine what would have happened if the match had been played in Türkiye and this statement had been made. Right now, this man is told 'If you don't like it, leave'. beğenmiyor ve bu seviyeye layık görmüyor Türkiye'yi. Ben bu takımı, ay-yıldızlı formayı her yere, en üst kademeye layık görüyorum. Her şeyi yapabilir bu takım, ay-yıldızın aşkıyla her yerde oynar. Eğer oynatamıyorsan çık, oynatacak adam gelir. Bizde aslanlar gibi bir sürü adam var. Bunu birçok hoca yaptı. Birçok hoca içselleştirdi; Piontek, Derwall... Birlikte bütün oldular ve bunun altyapısını çok iyi kurdular. O takımları oraya ulaştırdılar. Devralan Şenol Hodja, Hodja Fatih, Hodja Mustafa, me, Hodja Abdullah never said such a thing. You can't talk like that. If you don't believe it, walk away."
"DO NOT LEAVE THIS MAN AT THE HEAD OF THE TEAM FOR THE ITALY MATCH"
