Uygur Meleke’s match commentary highlights Montella
Montella has a good record in mind games and transition strategies against such opponents. That’s how we beat the Croats away 1-0. That’s how we beat Germany 3-2 in Berlin. The 0-0 game against Italy was also positive. Thanks to Vincenzo Montella, we have become a team that makes quick transitions when the opponent has 60-70 percent of the ball and focuses the game in the second and third zones. In fact, the running ability of Barış Alper Yılmaz, Kenan Yıldız and Kerem Aktırkoglu and the speed of thinking of Hakan Çalhanoglu and Arda Güler are very suitable for this.
