The national team was defeated 4-1 by Italy in their second match of the UEFA Nations League A Group 1.
At the end of the match, Merih Demiral said, "We apologize to our country.
We are ashamed of this performance, which did not suit us.
There are two matches left now, and we want to finish those matches in the best way possible.
As players, we take full responsibility."
Experienced right-back Zeki Çelik stated, "We did not expect this score.
The game played in the first 30 minutes did not suit us at all. We are quality players; we should not play like this.
No matter how good Italy is, it should not have been 4-1 on our home turf.
We want to make our country happy by winning the other two matches."
