“OUR PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE AUTOMATICATION AND TEAM SPIRIT”
The German coach said, “If we see the UEFA Nations League as a book, the first 4 matches were the first part of it. I wanted to work with the players in the May-June period.

We weren’t going to change the squad until the Nations League was over.” used the phrases.

STAFF DESCRIPTION
Speaking about the fact that some players were not called to the National Team, Stefan Kuntz said, “We wanted to protect the squad in the previous 4 games, except for injuries. If there were no injuries, we would not have changed the squad until the end of the Nations League. This is the reason why we did not take Salih or other players. This was taken against a player or a team. It’s not decisions. Tolga Ciğerci is a stronger player in defense. İsmail is one of Turkey’s young players with potential. We think who can fill his place better. We lost Dorukhan and Salih Özcan. We thought about a fighter, we got it. “He’s a tall, well-rounded player. Since the Faroe Islands are that kind of team, we thought we could respond.” he said.

“FIRST PRIORITY UEFA INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE”
“My top priority is to finish the Nations League in the best way possible.” “I don’t know if I’ll be here or not, but if we don’t qualify for EURO 2024, we have to keep the Nations League in our pocket as a second chance,” Kuntz said. said.

“What is the reason why players who debuted and went to European clubs couldn’t keep it up?” Asked by Stefan Kuntz, “We have to look at everything from his own perspective. It’s not an easy question to answer. Maybe we shouldn’t send a young player to a European club right away.” said.

OZAN ​​KABAK: THIS IS NOT THE PLACE WE BELONG TO
“There is no difference in thought and work between last year’s and this year’s Bard.” Ozan Kabak, “I just came back to a league I know, I feel better when the results start to come.” said.

The young football player said, “Our teacher told us that we should win all our matches without conceding a goal as soon as our group was clear.
