The head coach of the Turkish national team, Vincenzo Montella, commented on his team’s defeat in the 2026 Emergency match against Paraguay (0:1), through which the Turks lost their chances for the playoffs of the World Cup.

" There were great turmoil in our land. Our energy levels were also high. I love the Turkish Football Federation - I know how hard it is to work there. I know how important it is to practice football.

I've been in football for 35 years. Zazvichiy is caught once for 50 rocks, but it didn’t happen to us in two matches after! Two matches totaled 65 shots! But I still don’t talk about ball control! Luck was not on our side,” quote Montelli Sporx.
