The National Football Team will be the guest of France in the 6th match of the UEFA Nations A League 1st Group in Bordeaux tomorrow at 22.45.
Before the match, Berke Özer, the goalkeeper of the National Football Team, made a statement at the press conference.
"I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE A PART OF THIS TEAM AGAIN"
Expressing his great happiness to return to the national team, Berke Özer said, "I am very happy to be here. I am very happy to be a part of this team again. I would like to thank our coach Sergen once again for giving me this chance. We have been in contact with him since the first day. He has always shown his support for me. He has been with me throughout this process. Our duty is to fight for this jersey as much as we can and do whatever it takes. I am very happy to serve this flag with my friends again."
"WE WILL GO ON THE FIELD AND FIGHT AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY PROUD"
Stating that the France match will be very important and challenging, national goalkeeper Berke Özer said, "It is a very important match. France is one of the best teams in the world. A team consisting of the most talented players. There are many points on the field that we want to change and improve. We have also worked on these issues. Even if we do not have a very long time, I think we have come to a good point with both meetings and one-on-one private meetings since the first day, in order to be in a better state, at least mentally. Tomorrow, as in every match, we will go out on the field and fight to make our country proud, as much as we can." "We will," he said.
"I THINK WE CAN GET TO A MUCH DIFFERENT POINT IN TIME"
Stating that the skeleton squad that has been playing together for a long time is a great advantage, the 26-year-old goalkeeper continued his words as follows:
"There is a group here that has been playing together for a very long time. I think it is an advantage in such periods because everyone has full confidence in the team. When you look at the teams we played with, they were not very easy matches in terms of the quality of the matches. Since the first day he arrived, our coach touched on many points both on and off the field. He touched many points. He shared with us both the self-confidence and motivation of the players and some of the things we need to show under the national jersey. I think we can all reach a much different point over time. Players playing together will also provide us with an advantage in this regard. I think, at least in such times, no one has any doubts about each other. Regardless of the results, we are always together and we want to show this to the whole country.
"THERE ARE HUGE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TODAY AND THE PERIOD WHEN I CAME TO FRANCE"
Stating that he is happy in France and has fully adapted to the culture of the country, national goalkeeper Berke Özer said, “I know this league. I play in this league. It is a country where I am very happy. There is a team that I play with great pleasure. From the first day I arrived, I felt this support both in my club and in the country. There are huge differences between today and when I arrived. Both as an actor and as a person. I adapted here and adapted to the culture of this place. I think that was the most important point. You can adapt to the field to a certain extent. You can improve your level, but adapting to the culture and life here off the field was one of the most difficult parts for a foreign player. I think I did this very well. I enjoy playing football and enjoying my life in France and my club. “I am very happy about this,” he said.
"WE WILL DO EVERYTHING TO STOP THEM BY SHOWING THAT FIGHT ON THE FIELD"
Emphasizing that France's recent results have not changed their approach, Berke Özer said, "The fact that France lost does not change the fact of what kind of a team they are. They have great players and stars. Where there are great stars, such problems and small crises can occur from time to time. As a result, we respect them to the fullest. We, as the Turkish National Team, want to fight to the end as much as we can on the field, no matter what is necessary. Mbappe is one of the greatest football players in the world. Olise is the same way. We are going through periods when he is in great form. We also want to fight for ourselves." We trust them to the end. We will do everything to stop them by showing that fight on the field. The fact that France lost their last match or their internal situation does not affect us much. We want to show the same respect to them and fight in the best way on the field as we do against every opponent.
