The head coach of the Turkish National Team, Vincenzo Montella, made statements ahead of our match against Paraguay in the second week of the FIFA 2026 World Cup.
''I EXPECT SUCH A MATCH''
Evaluating the match, Vincenzo Montella said, "Finally, match day has arrived. A long week has passed. We've talked a lot. We are very motivated to take the field. The team is focused and united. Most matches in the World Cup are tough. Most matches are balanced, and I expect such a match today."
''WE ARE PREPARED FOR EVERY POSSIBILITY''
Commenting on the opponent, Montella stated, "When we look at Paraguay's squad, they may start with 4-2-3-1 as usual, or they could play 4-3-3 with the same players. We are prepared for every possibility."
''WE NEED TO MAKE RUNS''
Continuing his remarks, the experienced coach said, "We are a team that feels more comfortable when we have possession. We need to make more deep runs behind the opponent's defense. Modern football requires this against teams that sit back. When space is limited, we must make runs into the gaps behind the defense."
