TURKEY-CROATIA

Although our National Football Team took the field with a 4-2-3-1 formation against Croatia in their first match of EURO 2016, they started with Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who does not play as a winger, and defensive midfielder Mehmet Topal at center-back.

TURKEY-SPAIN

In their second match at EURO 2016, the national team faced Spain and took the field with the same formation. The red-and-white team left this match with a 3-0 defeat.

TURKEY-CZECH REPUBLIC

In their final match at EURO 2016, the national team faced the Czech Republic and, despite playing with the same 4-2-3-1 formation, had made changes to their tactical system. Having lost their first match in the championship, the national team took the field against the Czech Republic with the duo of Emre Mor and Volkan Şen on the wings, replacing Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Arda Turan, who were the young stars of that period. Although Turkey won this match 2-0, they finished the group in third place and bid farewell to the tournament.

TURKEY- ITALY

After the disappointment of EURO 2016, Turkey, which also appeared in EURO 2020, faced Italy in the opening match of the championship. Losing the match 3-0, Turkey opted for a 4-5-1 formation, displaying a defensive-minded game that focused largely on closing down in its own half.

TURKEY-WALES

Having suffered a heavy defeat against Italy in the first match of the tournament, the national team faced Wales in the group's other match. Losing the game 2-0 with goals from Ramsey and Connor Roberts, Turkey competed in this match as well with a 4-5-1 formation.

TURKEY SWITZERLAND

Facing Switzerland in the final match of the group and the tournament, our National Football Team left the pitch with a 3-1 defeat, finishing the group in last place without any points. Turkey had opted for a 4-5-1 formation against Switzerland. In this match, Kaan Ayhan took the place of Okay Yokuşlu in the national squad.
