HERE ARE VINCENZO 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."
"I AM HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL GET A GOOD RESULT"
"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."
"WE ARE FIGHTING WITH VERY IMPORTANT DEFICIENCIES"
"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 MAY BE AFFECTED WHEN CRITICISMS ARE UNFAIR AND HEAVY"
"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."
"THEY WANTED ME TO REGISTER THE 31-YEAR-OLD FORWARD"
"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.”
HERE ARE OZAN KABAK'S WORDS:
"We are good players, we trained well. We want to show a reaction against Italy. We are aware of their strength. But I believe this time it will be different. We want to leave here with a good game and score."
"OUR GREATEST STRENGTH IS OUR FRIENDSHIP"
"Our greatest strength is our friendship, our togetherness, our family atmosphere. It was like this when things were going well. Things may be going bad now, but we continue to be united. I think we will come out of where we fell as united."
"WE EAT TOO MANY GOALS"
"We are conceding too many goals defensively right now. I don't hesitate to say this, but we are working on it. We also worked tactically accordingly in training."

National Team Coach Vincenzo Montella, at the press conference held in preparation for the Italy match, stated that the team was competing at this level for the first time, the absence of important players and its sensitivity to unfair criticism.
