June 27, after the European Championship group stage matches ended early this morning, Turkey beat Czech Republic 2-1 to advance to the Round of 16. After the game, Turkey coach Montella said he hoped the team would continue to make history and praised the player Çalhanoğlu highly.
Montella said: “Our group stage qualification represents a historic success for us. Our team has become the youngest team to qualify from the group. I thank my team and our fans. Now we celebrate and enjoy this victory today. We hope to continue making history from tomorrow.”
Excitedly commenting on Çalhanoğlu, he said: “He is a very talented player, he wanted to play a lot, but then the Milan management changed and things didn’t go well. He is a complete player with all the qualities, he also scored a great goal, it’s incredible.”
Speaking on the refereeing in the match, he said: “The referee showed several yellow cards at the end of the game. Since Çalhanoğlu was the captain in the game, he could certainly talk to the referee, but he got a yellow card. He didn’t even foul, he won’t be able to play the next game.”
