Montella announces decision on Hakan Çalhanoğlu ahead of Wales match

Vincenzo Montella, head coach of the A National Football Team, which will face Wales away tomorrow, attended the press conference held at the Cardiff City Stadium, where the match will take place, alongside national player Çağlar Söyüncü.

WILL HAKAN ÇALHANOĞLU PLAY?

"We are proud to have had a tournament like EURO 2024," said Montella, beginning the press conference. Responding to a question about Hakan Çalhanoğlu's injury, he said, "Hakan Çalhanoğlu had some problems, but he trained with the team today. I am undecided; should we use him in the first half or the second half? We need to evaluate."

COMMENTS ON ARDA GÜLER

When reminded that national player Hakan Çalhanoğlu was nominated for the Ballon d'Or and Arda Güler for the Best Young Player Under 21 (Kopa Trophy), the national coach commented, "Like everyone else, we were very happy. Hakan has been representing our country in the best way for many years. It is very valuable for a Turkish footballer to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or after such a long time. Whether it's me or Hakan, we felt that emotion. We are very happy for him. Arda Güler has also achieved great things despite having just started his football career. Hopefully, he will play at the highest levels in his football life without encountering injuries and continue to make our country proud. There are many players with potential in our country."
