Montella emphasized the issue of new faces and unfair criticism in his statements before the Italy match

Vincenzo Montella, Coach of the National Football Team, made statements before the match they will play against Italy tomorrow in the fourth match of Group 1 of the UEFA Nations A League.

Here are Montella's words;

"Even if we compete at this level for the first time, we want to win against everyone. The reason why I say we are at this level for the first time is because we, as a country, have no habits here. We continue by gaining experience."

"OPPORTUNITY TO SEE NEW FACES"

"Unfortunately, Arda will not be there tomorrow. As you know, Hakan, Kenan, Barış, Orkun and Mert Müldür will not be there either. They are all very important players for us. We can use such an opportunity as the opportunity to see new faces. I am hopeful that we will get a good result tomorrow."

"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR HISTORY"

"I know the dynamics of football completely, you know. Of course, I am open to all criticism, but I do not just listen to irrational criticism. We are competing in the A League for the first time in our history. We achieved this together, but we are struggling with very big and very important deficiencies. If it were a different scenario, it would not be a scenario in which we weigh ourselves, but now there is a scenario in which we weigh ourselves."

"THEY ARE HUMAN TOO!"

"The only thing that upsets me is the heavy, unfair criticism towards our football players. They are human beings just like us. They can be affected when the criticism is unfair and harsh."

"AS A RESULT, WE LOST!"

"The fight we gave in the France match was very important for us because we have to give that fight in every match. Our second fight in the Italy match was good, even if the result was not what we wanted. There was also a fight in the Belgium match, but as a result we lost."

"UNFAIR CRITICISM"

"I ask you to support our football players. When you support them, there may be a 5 percent or 10 percent loss of performance when there is heavy, unfair criticism. When you support them, on the contrary, they may give 5 percent or 10 percent more performance. No matter who they are, they feel the same. They are emotional beings like us. That's why I believe we should support them in the best possible way."

"THEY RECOMMENDED A FORWARD PLAYING IN THE 3RD LEAGUE"

"We are at such a different point that at the last press conference, they told me about a 31-year-old striker playing in the 3rd league. Frankly, they wanted me to include the 31-year-old striker in the squad.”

"I ONLY THINK ABOUT THE NATIONAL TEAM"

"I am a person who keeps my desire to work as a professional and my desire to win alive. My heart is also clean. I know the dynamics of football clearly. I always focus on the present. Generally, nothing else comes to my mind. I only think about the national team."
