| How
is Turkey preparing for the World Cup? |
| Turkey
is playing friendly matches with other nations such as South
Korea and Chile. Also before those matches, all league matches
are cancelled and the national squad completes their preparation
in training camps in order to foster a good team mentality.
|
| How
do you think Turkey will do in the World Cup? |
| This is
the strongest Turkish National squad in comparison to the teams
of past years. Eight of our players are playing in different
European teams such as Milan, B.Leverkusen, Blackburn Rovers,
Aston Villa, Parma, Inter. In addition, our players have significant
International tournament experience. As a result, we are expecting
good results in this World Cup. Qualifying for the quarter final
would not be suprising. |
| Who
is Turkey's best player and why? |
| The most
important player in our National team has been Hakan Sukur for
the last 6-7 years. He has scored key goals for the national
side and also for Galatasaray in the European cups. As a result,
he will once again be the most important player in our squad.
|
| What
do you think to the England side? |
| I think
England has one of the strongest teams in their history. High
quality players and improved game tactics compared to the past
years, make the England matches much enjoyable for the fans.
Although the recent injury of David Beckham is a bad news for
England, the squad has skillful and good players who can replace
him. One thing for sure is that England's matches will be most
enjoyable to watch. |
| Where
will you be watching the matches? |
| I will
be watching the matches on television at home. |
