The coach of Turkey after the defeat against Australia: We tried everything, but …

In the 1st round of Group D, Turkey was defeated by Australia with a score of 2:0, and Montella analyzed the reasons for the failure after the match.

“The match unfolded as we expected tactically. We knew the opponent would retreat and wait for their chance. The Australians used counterattacks well. We conceded two goals and we are very disappointed because of that,” said Montella.

“We will be better”

The Italian expert pointed out that he was satisfied with the approach of his players despite the defeat.

“We brought team spirit to the field and fought with our hearts. The team did not give up at any moment. If we continue to play in this way, the results will come. I am sure that we will be better in the next game,” said the coach of Turkey.

“We’ve tried everything, but…”

Montella also referred to the implementation problems that his national team had against Australia.

“Without continuity and a real competitive rhythm, it’s difficult to give the maximum. We tried everything to score a goal, but we couldn’t find a way to the net. If we scored a goal, the game would certainly have gone in a completely different direction,” said Montella.

Focus on Paraguay

After the defeat at the opening of the World Cup, Turkey is now focusing all its attention on the second meeting of the group stage against the national team of Paraguay.

That match could be decisive for the continuation of the fight for placement in the knockout phase of the competition, and the Turks will be looking for the first points in order to stay in the race to advance.
