Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella said his team was tactically unprepared for Australia's defensive setup and quick counters in their 0-2 Group D loss. 'The match went differently than expected tactically. We knew they would sit back defensively and wait. They used counter-attacks. We conceded two goals and are very upset,' Montella told A Spor.
Despite the defeat, Montella expressed confidence in his squad's resilience. 'Our team showed team spirit on the field and played with heart. If we continue in the same spirit, we will start achieving desired results. We'll play better next time.'
Turkey next faces Paraguay on June 20 and the USA on June 26 in Group D.
