Our National Football Team defeated Bulgaria 6-1 away in the third week of the World Cup Qualifiers Group E. Head coach Vincenzo Montella made statements after the match.
"WE ARE VERY HAPPY FOR THESE FIRSTS"
Expressing his feelings, Montella said, "We came to a very challenging away game. The score was 1-1 at halftime. It changed for a moment when we took the lead, but we were determined to get the result we wanted in the second half. We are very happy to have achieved such a victory. There are other firsts today. Zeki scored his first goal, Hakan's 100th match. Kenan also had his first double especially in official matches with the national team jersey. We are very happy for these firsts. We reset the goal difference with our direct rivals. The match against Georgia is very important for us. They are our direct rival. We will start preparing for that match from today."
"WE REALLY WANTED HIM TO SCORE"
Speaking about national player Can Uzun, Montella said, "We really wanted him to score and we were expecting it. In the 5-1 match, we needed one more goal. Can Uzun deserved that goal. We were very sad when his shot went wide. We scored the 6th goal with İrfan, İrfan always comes from the side and leaves his mark on the matches. We are very happy." he stated.
'SORRY BULGARIANS'
Continuing to evaluate the match, Montella said, "We made tactical changes as we entered the second half. He said we should not match the rhythm of the opponents and that we needed to play direct passes. The kids applied what we said, and a perfect second half emerged. We quickly found the goals in the second half. After scoring six goals, we celebrated a lot. Sorry to the Bulgarian fans. It was important for us. We were happy because of the goal difference situation with Georgia."
'WE WANT TO BE AT THE WORLD CUP'
Finally, Montella commented, "Whether we go directly to the World Cup or through the playoffs, we will see that on the field. No matter what, we want to be at the World Cup."
