Beaten in their first two meetings in this final phase of the Euro, Turkey is playing its third group match this Sunday against Switzerland. Despite its two consecutive losses against Italy (3-0) and Wales (2-0), Turkey is still in the race for qualification.
Senõl Günes nevertheless remains hopeful for the qualification of his team for the knockout stages despite the context.
Senõl Günes knows that his selection has jeopardized his chances of qualifying for the round of 16 of the competition.
“After the first game against Italy, it was like the end of the world and we have to overcome this failure. We could have overcome that in the second game and if we had it things would be a lot different. Now we’re in a situation where we’re going to need miracles to happen. After all of our efforts in this tournament, it would be very sad to come home now.
We just made so many mistakes in these two games. You can lose to Italy, that’s totally normal, but if you lose to Wales you lose your chances. »He declared at a press conference this Saturday on the eve of this decisive meeting against Switzerland this Sunday.
Our chances are really slim now. On paper we were better than Wales but we didn’t use that chance very well, we’re not happy with it, like the supporters and others who criticize us, but I’m still confident that my players. We can change that. Sunday I would like to play with a different understanding and approach.
The most important thing will be to have more presence than in the last game and to influence things.
We have to find our values and the connections between parts of the team. We have to give our all, 100%, to win the game, by getting three points we would have a realistic chance to advance to the next round. “, Tempered Senõl Günes.
