Sergen Yalçın: How Much Can Things Change in a Short Time?

Turkey's national team will face France away tomorrow in Matchday 6 of the UEFA Nations League Group 1. Speaking at the press conference held before the match, Sergen Yalçın said they want to win and that the team and the country need these victories.

Yalçın reminded that he has only coached the team in the Belgium match in the group. Pointing out that there are two matches in six days, he said he feels they are moving too early. The head coach said that we should question how much things can change in such a short time, and that patience is needed and they must wait.

Acknowledging that they are not in a healthy position in the group, Yalçın said they had only just joined the team and were not part of the previous damaged picture. He said this will recover and that this course will not continue.

Answering a question about changing the formation, Yalçın said they have no intention of playing without a striker. Saying they will play more controlled tomorrow and try to keep the back line more solid, he noted they will face a very strong opponent and he hopes that will be good for them.
