The Turkish National Team will face Austria in the round of 16 of the 2024 European Football Championship at 22:00 CET. The Austrian press, showing great interest in the crucial match, has written remarkable articles and used interesting expressions. Here are the reflections of the Turkey match in the Austrian press; DER STANDARD: EVERYTHING IS WORKING LIKE CLOCKWORK"This could be a historic match because no Austrian Football Federation (ÖFB) team has ever reached the quarter-finals of the European Championship before. However, there is very little to oppose Austria's success. The best argument for progress is the team's condition. Everything is working like clockwork, the players are focused and they know what they can do." KRONE: TURKS CAN ONLY PLAY A ROLE"The Turks have great passion, but it is also a danger. Montella pleaded, "We must keep our cool." However, Turkey can only play a role in this regard. "TURKS WANT MORE"Turkey's performance was heavily criticized in their country at first, but now enthusiasm is starting to grow. They want more. The absence of Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who is suspended due to a yellow card, is demoralizing as he is the team's catalyst, spirit, and captain. He won't be able to make a difference against Austria. "AUSTRIA PRACTICES PENALTY SHOOTOUTS IN TRAINING"The Austrians practice penalty shootouts in training. They know that in knockout matches, it's all or nothing because they have enough pig fat in their brains. Winning is the only alternative. This hardly changes anything in terms of approach. Everyone says, "We focus on ourselves." Turkish fans will be the majority in the stadium. This doesn't scare anyone. OE24: LOCAL ECONOMY IS EAGERLY AWAITING"In addition to the great joy of the fans, the local economy is eagerly awaiting this match, which is the most important football event of the year. Retailers expect an additional 50 million euros in sales, and if our summer fairy tale continues, food and beverage trade, fan merchandise sales, etc. will increase even more. The fire of the Austrian National Team is not only engulfing Austria. Even the hosts of the European Championship love our country. Scarves and jerseys are currently sold out in some regions of Germany. The queue of fans in front of the Brandenburg Gate is also making an exception for the round of 16 matches. Initially, only matches of the DFB team, matches at the Olympic Stadium, and all matches from the quarter-finals onwards were supposed to be shown here, but due to numerous fan requests, an exception is being made today."
