Most people in Turkey think that the coach has made a mistake choosing the starting eleven that faced Portugal. There is increasing anger due to the Italian’s decision, which left Arda Güler on the bench. They believe that Montella did not have a fair reason to leave the Turkish pearl on the sidelines, who was key in the victory against Georgia.
Montella’s statement about Güler after the match is especially criticized. “I am sorry for this. Arda was very tired and there was a risk of injury. While I was taking him to the game, I thought about whether we should not include him, but the idea that maybe we would score a goal with 3-0 made me include him” stated Montella, but this statement was evaluated in a bad way, because if there was a risk of injury, So it is not explained why he entered the field of play. The last group match against the Czech Republic is the most important for qualifying, and in that case Arda did not have to play a single minute against Portugal.
Former footballers Nihat Kahveci and Tumer Metin also criticize Montella due to the Real Madrid footballer’s substitution. According to his comments, Arda is a fundamental piece for the team if he really wants to win. “An 18-year-old player is tireless. When he was 18 years old he wanted to win the ball, he wanted to play three games in a row. I think it is a very criticizable decision.” ex-players explain about the Turkish international. Arda Güler could not hide her dissatisfaction with his substitution, but he is expected to start against the Czech Republic.
