The Turkish press did not speak well of their own team after the Turkish national football team was relegated 6-1 on Tuesday in the European Championship friendly against Austria in Vienna.
“Unfortunately, the Turkish national team has neither a goalscorer nor a goalie,” said Habertürk. And further: “If (coach Vincenzo; note) Montella doesn’t find a solution for this, we will be disappointed in Germany.”
For “Türkiye” “the national team was razed to the ground. Our national soccer team suffered a heavy 1:6 defeat against Austria in the Ernst Happel Stadium. The performance of some players fell far short of expectations.”
“Sözcü” saw it similarly: “The national team suffered one of the biggest defeats in its history with the 1:6 away defeat against Austria. While the first half of the game ended 2-1, four goals from Austria in the second half exacerbated Turkey’s defeat.
