Sergen Yalçın's Pre-France Shortcomings Under Discussion

The football public has highlighted some shortcomings ahead of the France match rather than blaming Sergen Yalçın for the defeat to Belgium.

Türkiye lost 2-1 to Belgium in their UEFA Nations League match played in İzmir. The team, which took a 1-0 lead through Arda Güler's free-kick goal in the 20th minute, saw its opponent close the first half with a 2-1 advantage thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's goal in the 27th minute and Charles De Ketelaere's goal in the 30th minute. The two goals came three minutes apart. The team will face France on Sunday, 15 November.
