Corner from Calhanoglu on Ayhan’s head, far off target. There was much better to do about this aerial situation.
Georgia finally finds some breathing room, and Kvaradona finds himself in a central position, pushed back by the defense. A start to the match “full of vitality”, as Oudéa-Castéra would say.
The Turks take matters into their own hands by monopolizing the ball. We try to alert Yilmaz by air, but the attacker is a little short to control.
Unsurprisingly, the Westfalenstadion will be overwhelmingly behind Turkey. I will spare you the usual refrain about the Turkish community in Germany.
Yusuf Yazıcı announced an extremely ambitious goal for Turkey: “Reach at least the semi-finals, as we did at Euro 2008.” Sorry but here, we ABSOLUTELY don’t believe in it.
Lots of curiosity for the little nugget from Real Madrid, 19 years old, who has scored 5 goals in his last 5 La Liga matches.
Günok – Müldür, Akaydin, Bardakcı, Kadıoğlu – Aydan, Çalhanoğlu – Güler, Kökçü, Yıldız – Yılmaz
A 3-5-2 which should look like this: Mamardashvili – Kverkvelia, Kashia, Dvali – Kakabadze, Mekvabishvili, Kochorashvili, Chakvetadze, Tsitaishvili – Kvaratskhelia, Mikautadze.
This is one of the attractions of this Euro! Georgia, coached by Willy Sagnol, is playing its first major international competition and the hipsters that we are will of course follow Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s teammates closely. So, it will be complicated, obviously, especially against the Turks, who will be supported by almost the entire Westfalenstadion. But impossible is not Georgian.
