High praise for Hakan Çalhanoğlu: 'Among the world's top five midfielders'

The successful performance displayed throughout the season by Inter, the reigning Serie A champion, continues to resonate across Europe. As national footballer Hakan Çalhanoğlu has become one of the club's leading figures, he has frequently been the subject of conversation, with notable assessments coming from former striker Christian Vieri.

In his statement to TRT Spor, Vieri noted that the Turkish midfielder has been offering top-tier quality for years, stating: "I have been saying this for years; Çalhanoğlu is one of the top five midfielders in the world. He is an extraordinary player. He uses both his left and right foot perfectly, he scores goals, he creates goals, and he has an incredible vision of the game. Very few players in the world possess his ability to deliver 50-60 meter passes. There are truly very few footballers at his level."

It was emphasized that Çalhanoğlu's role at Inter makes a significant difference with both the goals he scores and the assists he provides, and that he has been given important responsibility in the team's championship journey. Vieri's focus on the player's game intelligence and mastery of the ball has also resonated widely in the football community.

Furthermore, the experienced figure shared his views on the Turkish National Team and head coach Vincenzo Montella, stating that he believes the Crescent-Stars will be successful in future tournaments. "Turkey has a very good squad and important players. Montella is a young, very intelligent, and successful coach. He organizes the team well and establishes strong communication with the players. I think Turkey will have a very good World Cup," he said.
