The A National Football Team will face the Netherlands today at 22:00 at the Berlin Olympic Stadium in the quarter-finals of the 2024 European Football Championship. Burak Yılmaz, manager of the Süper Lig side Kayserispor, made statements ahead of the national team's EURO 2024 match against the Netherlands today.
THE MOST VALUABLE GROUP SINCE 2008
Stating that he is proud of the national team, former national footballer and Kayserispor manager Burak Yılmaz said, "Our national team continues on its path to being the most successful team since 2008. They make us very proud. I am proud of them. They are doing a wonderful job. I think they will be even better. I trust them very much. Even after the defeat in the Portugal match, I trusted them. I believe in them and trust them now as well. Our path is long and open. Now we have the Netherlands match ahead of us. Even if there is a negative result in the Netherlands match, I think our path is always long and open. I trusted our brothers in the Portugal match, and I was already very sure in the Czechia match. Those who know me know that I told everyone we would definitely win the Austria match. I believed in these brothers of mine. I can see their energy on that pitch, their feelings, and with what emotion and heart they are playing. This is the most successful national team of recent times; I think we have captured the most valuable group since 2008. I am proud of all of them," he said.
A VERY DIFFICULT MATCH AWAITS US
Expressing that the Netherlands match will be difficult, Yılmaz said; "A more difficult match than the Austria match awaits us against the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a school in world football. We must accept this and prepare accordingly. We should neither exaggerate the Netherlands in our eyes nor underestimate them. I am sure the Dutch are also thinking about 'how we will beat Turkey.' I played in the Dutch League for 1 season. I know Dutch football. I know them well; I know their feelings, their nationalism, and their perspective on football well. I see it as almost equal conditions, but I trust my brothers very much. It is a very valuable match, after all, it is a quarter-final; even if our Turkish national team is eliminated and returns, we should be proud of them. I trust our country very much in the Netherlands match," he said.
