Libero's Take on Belgium Defeat: No Star Apart from Arda Güler

The Turkish national football team faced Belgium in Matchday 5 of UEFA Nations League A, League 1, Group 1, and lost 2-1. The Crescent-Stars, who took the lead through Arda Güler's free kick in their first match under Sergen Yalçın, finished the match without a point.

The Turkish national team's performance against Belgium was discussed on the Libero program, broadcast within Turkuvaz Media. Haşmet Babaoğlu leveled harsh criticism at the team's overall play. According to Babaoğlu, Arda Güler's goal made the team's play look more positive than it really was. In his view, apart from Arda Güler there is no real star in the squad, and even in the match against Kosovo, the opposing team was better than us.

Fırat Aydınus said the first 25 minutes of the match were enjoyable, and that this was thanks to Arda Güler. According to Aydınus, Sergen Yalçın's attack-minded style of play caused major problems in defense. Oğuz Aydın struggled defensively against Belgium's Jeremy Doku and his changes of direction and dribbles. Aydınus stated that the match could be started with Deniz Gül instead of Enes Ünal, and that Ünal should be taken off earlier in the game.
