"Statements that will create a stir for Montella after the Montenegro match."

```html

Our national team’s surprising 3-1 defeat to Montenegro, along with Wales beating their opponent 4-1, has left us with a chance to qualify for the A League through the play-offs, while the echoes of the match continue.

REACTIONS POURING IN

Especially the formation without a striker and the late intervention in the game despite falling behind has led to a strong backlash against Montella, while sports writers have also harshly criticized the Italian coach.

"GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT" (ALI GÜLTİKEN)

"We experienced a bitter lesson against Montenegro about the difference between playing well and winning. The idea of ball possession is a priority in football… We accept this. But how effective you are in football when you have possession of the ball is the fundamental issue of this game. We clearly saw throughout the 90 minutes that our squad choice was not made considering the pitch and match conditions. We came with great dreams, and we returned with great disappointment. This match showed us the difference between what is imagined on paper and the reality on the field." [Sabah]

"THIS DEFEAT IS YOURS" (ZEKİ UZUNDURUKAN)

"I couldn't digest the defeat against Montenegro! You continue to take pride in your game without a striker, Montella! You condemned the Turkish National Team to play without a striker! You were afraid! What does it mean not to be able to top the group in League B! What does it mean to play in the Play-Offs in League B! It was like a battle between an ant and an elephant on paper. But you signed a miracle of failure, Montella! Now you come out and say it was the pitch, you say Hakan Çalhanoğlu was not there! You say Play-Off! Skip these, coward Montella! We are crossing from the wings into the penalty area, but we have no striker to hit those crosses. Everyone sees it, but you don’t see it, Montella! This defeat is your creation, Montella! Krstovic roamed in our penalty area throughout the match and scored 3 times! You brought Samet in as a savior! He also left his mark on the match with his destructive mistakes! If you don’t run, if you don’t fight, you can’t win! Montenegro fought, ran, and practically moved a mountain! Montella watched the defeat from the sidelines like a movie! You achieved the difficult, Montella! You made history, Montella! I think you should return to Italy, Montella! You failed, Montella!" [Fotomaç]

"GREAT LOSS OF PRESTIGE" (ENGİN VEREL)

"In a group where we had come so close to success, losing to Montenegro, who had no points, was a significant loss of prestige for us. Of course, it should be noted that Montella started with the wrong squad for yesterday's pitch." [Akşam]

"KUNTZ HAS INFILTRATED YOU" (UĞUR MELEKE)

"In the first half, maybe we didn’t read the game correctly, maybe the pitch and weather conditions were bad. These are understandable. However, Montella's first 3 substitutions being a center-back, a full-back, and a defensive midfielder, and not bringing in an attacker until we were 3-1 down is incredible. I have been watching, narrating, and writing about Montella since his days playing as a striker in Roma. I think this match was not only the worst day of his time in Turkey but of his entire career. There was a man on the sidelines who had lost touch with great goals, lacking faith and direction. It was as if Kuntz had infiltrated Montella." [Hürriyet]

"A THOUSAND TIMES A SHAME" (TURGAY DEMİR)

"What a shame. Not just once, but a thousand times a shame. Their striker Krstovic scored a hat-trick, and he probably scored the last three goals in his dreams before this!.. We literally crossed the ocean and drowned in a stream…." [Fotomaç]
