Hakan Çalhanoğlu: They found two goals with two long balls!
The captain of the Turkish National Football Team, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, made statements following the national team's 2-0 defeat to Australia in their first match of the 2026 World Cup.
The Turkish National Football Team, which could not make the start it wanted in Group D of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, was defeated 2-0 by Australia in its first match of the tournament. After the match, team captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu evaluated the defeat and offered encouragement to his teammates.
Sharing his thoughts on the match, Çalhanoğlu stated: "It is a score no one expected. They found two goals with two long balls! We, on the other hand, could not capitalize on the positions we created. They only played on the counterattack. We conceded unnecessary goals."
The experienced midfielder spoke hopefully about the remaining matches in the group. Emphasizing that the team will continue to fight, Çalhanoğlu said, "We have two matches ahead of us; nothing is over yet."
