AI-generated summary
The Turkish National Team lost the last three A League matches and conceded a total of 7 goals against Belgium and Italy. This performance increased Vincenzo Montella's criticism of his coaching.
"COMING SOON"
CEM DİZDAR: The surprise caused by MHK, who was appointed with the "high acceptance" of those who have a say in the country's football, "fell into the police station"... On top of that, the anxiety caused by losing the first two matches... Although they seemed to be searching for offensive initiatives under Arda Güler, the National Team was extremely confused and disorganized when it came to execution. Those who will work in the offensive area seemed to find their positions strange, like those who alienate the bed during a sleepover. Therefore, even though they attacked and tried to shoot, their efficiency remained low. On the contrary, the first goal conceded came as a result of compound mistakes following each other like the links of a chain. The Nationals started the second half by taking the ball to their feet and using it more positively. Even though they created danger after attack in the attacks directed by Arda, it was as if they were saying, "We can do other things, but we cannot score goals." The country seems to have agreed that Vincenzo Montella should leave. But I wish the solution to the problem was this simple! More people will be given way in the country of those who cannot even spare time for discussing individual issues and solving structural problems! Look, those who stretch out saying "Our Children" while winning, leave their children in the mosque courtyard when they lose! Get ready, the owners of the old notebooks will talk about turning a new page soon. (Fanatic)
"THERE IS NOTHING LEFT HE CAN GIVE"
GÜNTEKİN ONAY: "Montella has nothing left to give to this team. The country's football is in crisis. Montella is also a part of this crisis and will never be the one to get the national team out of this situation. I am ashamed and sad to write this, but the truth is: Turkish people have unfortunately become alienated from the national team. In a nationalist country like ours, which loves its country, people do not want to watch the national team match." [Hürriyet]
"ALL OF YOU RESIGN AND GO"
UĞUR MELEKE: "Montella should be thanked immediately. I can understand a one-year compensation. However, if there is a two-year compensation (5 million Euros) as claimed in the media, this contract is an abuse of public property. World champion Scaloni's salary is 2 million euros. To Hodja. And now, all of you, resign and go." [Hürriyet]
"A LEAGUE HAS BECOME BIG"
TAYFUN BAYINDIR: "Three successive defeats in the A League hit us with a profound truth; this league has become a few sizes too big for us with our current structure and understanding of football... That dead soil that we have not been able to shake off since the World Cup continues to make itself felt at every step on the field and especially on the bench... The A League is the arena of the giants... Here, the line between those who turn half positions into goals and those who create positions but cannot make the final shot is very clear... The National Team must make a radical self-criticism and "system and centre-forward" knot... Otherwise, we will continue to spread this dead soil and talk about similar scenarios after every match... Will we do the self-criticism with or without Montella, and if they stay, this TFF will do that..." [Milliyet]
"CHANGE NEEDS TO BE MADE"
ABDULLAH ERCAN: "Some changes need to be made, both technically and in terms of player preferences. We made it to the A League with great difficulty. Now we are faced with the possibility of relegation to the B League. Moreover, this possibility does not seem remote at all. At this point, we are not talking about getting points, but about not being defeated. This is a serious alarm in itself. As a former national football player, I would like to thank everyone who contributed... However, there is change in the nature of football. I think we have reached that point. We must decide very quickly. Necessary steps regarding the technical staff and the player staff." "It should be thrown out. Because we have an important process ahead of us. The European Championship qualifiers will start in March. It is time for the National Team to recover, not excuses." [Calendar]
"GET OUT OF THE ROAD, MONTELLA"
ZEKİ UZUNDURUKAN: "Countries that failed in the World Cup must have known something when they changed their coaches. In our group, France appointed Zidane, Italy Mancini, and Belgium appointed Van Bommel as the head of the team. All of them are playing good football. Our National Team is melting down in the hands of the out-of-form and stubborn Montella. What a shame! After playing bad football from Italy and conceding 4 goals, we conceded 3 goals from Belgium yesterday. This Lukaku, who entered in the second half, scored a goal and destroyed our defense. We are rapidly moving from League A to League B. We have drawn zero in three matches. Montella says, 'I took you to the World Cup after 24 years.' Going to the World Cup is now child's play. We were among 48 teams. What about the result! Disaster! We made history in failure together with Haiti. Someone give Montella this information! In the 2002 World Cup, Türkiye came third in the World! We went and made history. And what did you do, Montella? My last word is this: Either find a way, open a way, or get out of the way, Montella!” [Photomac]
