Turkey, perhaps before 2002, people would not know that there was such a special liliang in Shijie football,

In Shijie football, after a long period of darkness, and then suddenly exploded, there are many examples of rise, such as Russian football, which has fallen to the bottom for a long time, has made huge breakthroughs at the national team level and club level in recent years.

Similar to Russian football, Turkish football, which has been at rock bottom for a long time, has now become a liliang that no one in European football dares to take lightly, as evidenced by the strong performance in this European Championship qualifier.

Unlike the glory of Russian football, Turkish football has had a longer slump, with their first appearance in the Shijie Cup in 1954, when they lost 4-1 to West Germany in the first game of the group and beat South Korea 7-0 in the second. With Germany losing to Hungary, Turkey had to play West Germany again for second place in the group. As a result, they were defeated 2:7. At that time, perhaps no one could have imagined that it would be 48 years later for Turkey to enter the Shijie Cup again.

Turkish football has also been unable to appear on the big stage of the European Championship for a long time, in 1996 they reached the final of the European Championship for the first time, but did not qualify for the group stage, but since then, Turkish football has ushered in their golden age, in 2000, they reached the last eight of the European Cup, and in 02 they reached the last four of the Shijie Cup.

Although the 2004 European Championship in Portugal and the 2006 Shijie Cup in Germany failed to break through the qualifiers, Turkish football has become a powerful force that no one dares to underestimate.

When it comes to the history of the development of Turkish football, it can be traced back to the roots of German football, and the football of the two countries has also been exchanging and integrating in confrontation.

The current head coach of the German team, Loew, once coached the Turkish giants Fenerbahce in the 1998/1999 season, and the Turkish team participating in this European Championship has a total of five players who play in the Bundesliga, including the main player Altentop who plays for the Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich, and he himself was born in the Gelsenkirchen region of Germany.

Even more influential in Turkish football are the "Turkish diaspora" athletes who have returned from Germany. Since the 60s of the last century, a large number of Turks have come to the former West Germany to work, and there are currently 2.4 million Turks in Germany, mainly in Berlin and Cologne.

The players who stand out among these overseas Chinese have received systematic and professional training since childhood and have a strong sense of competition. The Turkish Football Federation, which has an office in Borussia Dortmund, pays special attention to identifying young people and encouraging them to play for their country, and seven of the Turkish team, who finished third in the Korea-Japan Shijie Cup, were born in Germany.

It is worth noting that Turkey, which straddles the Eurasian continent in terms of land area, is larger in Asia than in Europe, but Turkey has never considered itself an Asian country, especially when it comes to football.

Turkish football has insisted on "breaking away from Asia and joining Europe" from the beginning, and even when European football is "giving white eyes", the Turkish team is still actively integrating into European football.

However, Europe has always been very resistant to Turkey, and if it follows the general convention, after the formation of a country's football association, it should first join the continental football federation and then FIFA.

However, Turkish football first "went through the back door" to FIFA, and then forced UEFA to admit itself, but UEFA has always refused to admit Turkey, and this refusal has been maintained for 70 years, until 1993, UEFA reluctantly accepted Turkey as a member of UEFA.

Although not accepted organizationally, Turkish football stubbornly adhered to the line of "leaving Asia and joining Europe", although the AFC repeatedly pulled them into the AFC, but they were rejected by the Turks. The Turkish team only competes in Europe and never cares about any competition in Asia.

Through unremitting efforts, the tenacious Turks finally moved from being excluded from Europe to gradually reaching the progress of being accepted and even appreciated.

Rooted in the league, is the key to the progress of Turkish football, the current Turkish national team main lineup, experienced six years ago glory only Rustu and two Emre, most of the other players are the new generation of players born in the 80s, and except for Basturk, basically played in the domestic league to grow up.

The Turks pay more attention to their own league than the national team, remember that classic line?

Welcome to Hell!

This is the frenzy of Turkish fans, and there is never a cold game in the Turkish Super League.

League-oriented, driven by the three giants, the Turkish league is of a very high standard, and they are ranked 12th in the IFFSH Shijie Top 100 League, higher than well-known leagues such as the Netherlands and Scotland, not to mention the Belgian football league.

Galatasaray won the first European club title in Turkish football history back in 2000, beating the mighty Arsenal on penalties in the UEFA Cup final.

In the season just ended, Fenerbahce also defeated Inter Milan in the Champions League, eliminated Sevilla over two legs to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League, although it lost to Arsenal and failed to reach the semi-finals, but the strong strength of Turkish football has been widely recognized.

Degan is not very impressed by Turkish football, and even always feels that Turkish football is shrouded in a veil of mystery that people are always unable to figure out.

Although in the 02 Shijie Cup, the Turks played a third, but their country is not a big football country, several big teams in the domestic league, although there are often amazing performances in the European arena, but strictly speaking, there is still a lack of a convincing enough results, and as an Islamic country, their thinking and living habits, compared to players from other countries, are still relatively closed and traditional, so the players from Turkey are not very suitable for overseas football life, There weren't many players who came out, and a lot of them didn't do well after they came out.

For the Italian league that Digan is more familiar with, Turkish players have never really had a successful experience, neither in terms of Hakan. Suker and Okan are also the former imports of Milit by Milan. Dawala is a product of failure.

There is only one overseas star from Turkey, former Inter Milan midfielder Emre. Mainly playing as a central midfielder, but also as a guest in right midfield and other midfield positions. Not tall and likes to shoot from a distance. The defense is aggressive and he can run very well. I can always watch him drill around on the field, but the actual effect is not great. It's like his long-range shots, putting more and giving people less hope. In the past, when I watched the Inter game, after attacking to the front, as long as Emre got the ball and wanted to hit the goal, the fans of other teams were relieved, because the actual effect in the game was not great, and Zuihou fell to the Premier League.

The feeling of seeing Emre is like seeing Basturk. The style is somewhat similar, except that Basturk's attacks are more effective and Emre defends a little more.

Of course, Basturk's personal achievements may be stronger than Emre, if you count the most successful overseas players in Turkey recently, it should be his, but it's a pity that Basturk is committed to the Bundesliga, there are not many opportunities to shine, and he was born and raised in Germany, which is already a transplant breed.

Players are not accustomed to the soil when they go abroad, and the same is true for the head coach, former AC Milan manager Trim played very well in Galatasaray, Galatasaray in those years, in a row in the European arena of amazing moves, just like the Lyon people have seen in the past two years.

Their attacking football and open-ended style of play, as well as the popularity of the home fans, have caught the eye of the entire European football scene. With this brilliance, Trim arrived at Florence, but the results were dismal.

However, he is blessed with a great life, especially for the position of coach, the image and reputation established by the outside world and the media, as well as in the eyes of fans, really brought him a good job.

Berlusconi is one of the temptors, Milan's turmoil did not stop because of a league championship won by accident in 99, in Lao Bei continued to throw a lot of money, the team faced Bierhoff, Helwig, Boban and a number of players aging, at the same time the new players did not succeed well, the results, especially in the European arena fluctuations too much, Lao Bei after Zaccheroni, did not trust Tassotti and other transitional teams, but resolutely focused on the "Turkish coach" signboard Trim.

At that time, Milan fans were relatively simple, because journalism and media were not as easy to communicate with the outside world as they are today. Therefore, Milan fans were blindly worshipped by the legendary "offensive football trend leader" Trim.

For his attacking football, for his insistence on self-play, for his poor results, just bad luck, not because of his lack of ability, he was fired by Fiorentina and held grievances.

The final result, as everyone knows, ended in failure, and Milan continued to introduce large investments and continue to purge on a large scale.

Of course, if you look back and look at Trim's unsuccessful Milan road at the time, you can still see where he succeeded, especially in terms of tactics and attack, and the legacy he left to Milan is precious.

Trim is particularly fond of changing formations, 3412, 433, 442 and other tactics, he has played them all, in a game, it may change several times, and in his tactics, if there are four people in the midfield, there are generally two people who require all their strength to attack.

It could be a midfielder, it could be a winger.

I like to use assist-type fullbacks with strong assist ability, and the position is higher than that of ordinary full-backs, often playing in the midfield, but it can only be a luxury to expect Milan's backline to press so high and risky back then.

However, in the continuous change of Triem, the Milan team gradually increased the richness of its offensive tactics, especially the experience, understanding and change of one of the playing styles, through continuous running-in and adjustment, and then gradually improved and reformed, continued to develop, and after Ancelotti took over the team, this tactic was carried forward, and in this way led Milan on the road to revival, this tactic is the 4312 formation that Milan is still using today.

The leader of the Star-Moon Army, which will now face Belgium, is Trim, and under his tutelage, Turkey has shaken off the slump of missing two consecutive international competitions and made it all the way to the qualifiers.

For the first match of the upcoming European Championship group stage, Belgium will have to prepare carefully, and Turkey will not dare to slack off.

Turkish striker Nihat, who plays for the yellow submarine Villarreal, said: "Belgium is not a one-man team of Degan, of course, if Degan can play, he will make a difference to the whole Belgian team, he is undoubtedly the best player this year, when you see a player who can score so many goals in a season, you will have to be amazed by him, but football is not a one-man sport, the Belgian team is not only Degan, we respect every Belgian player, Even if Digan can't play in this game, we will give 100 per cent focus to deal with this opponent! The strength of the Belgian team with Deegan is considered to be the strongest, even if Deegan can't play in the group stage, their strength is obvious to all, but now it's the European Championship and all the teams will burst out with more motivation than usual and play much better than usual, so I don't think it's time to say that there is a team that will definitely show up and we will do our best to play every game! ”

Since arriving in La Liga in 2002, Nihat has played for Real Sociedad and Villarreal, where he has excelled in both teams, and this season he helped the Yellow Submarine beat Barcelona to a runners-up finish in La Liga and a direct qualification to next season's Champions League.

Nihat is the representative of the new generation of players in Turkish football, and the representative of the old shili is undoubtedly Rustu, who blinded everyone at the 2002 Shijie Cup.

As a 35-year-old veteran, Rustu has become an iconic figure for the Turkish team, although his starting goalkeeper position in the national team has now been replaced by his former Fenerbahce team-mate Volkan. Demirel was replaced, and Rustu was still very proud of his selection for the national team and the role he could still play in the national team.

"Our national team is a collective, the most important thing in a collective is not to complain, and when you sit on the bench as a substitute player, your behavior is even more important, as a starter or as a substitute player can contribute to your team, everyone knows how proud the Turkish people are of their country, so it is a great honor to be selected for the national team."

Rustu has been an important member of the team since 1996, when the Turkish team reached the finals of the European Championship for the first time, and then went on to play with the Turkish national team in the 2000 European Championship and the 2002 Shijie Cup, where the Turkish team finished third in the 02 Korea-Japan Shijie Cup, which is also their best ranking in an international competition.

Rustu has played 116 games for the Turkish national team to date, and he is undoubtedly one of the key players in Turkey's reach for the finals of this European Championship.

"We have everything ready for this tournament, we have had some difficult moments and our path to qualification has not been easy, but I dare say our team is fully capable of reaching the final in Zuihou."

Turkey are looking confident, while Belgium are a bit low-key in comparison. Degan's inability to strike Belgium in the group stage remains their biggest dilemma.

In the first match against Turkey, although people are more optimistic about the potential of the Belgian team, especially after the previous two warm-up games, it was found that this young team is not as fragile as they imagined, on the contrary, this team feels very tough, young and energetic, fearless, and this is the most impressive young Belgian team now.

In the face of the menacing Turkish team, especially Nihat and Rustu, who released a victory declaration before the game even started, the young and energetic Belgian players also wanted to fight back, especially the most hot-tempered Fellaini.

However, Degan and Antienes have given a gag to the whole team, and if they respond at this time, they will fall into the trap of the Turks, who will seize this opportunity to constantly provoke public opinion battles before the game and distract the Belgian team, if that happens, the young Belgian team will undoubtedly be under more pressure when they play.

If you have the strength to shoot at reporters, it is better to use all your strength on the playing field.

On June 8, the European Championship officially kicked off, and the first game was Group A, the first match of which will be played in Basel, with hosts Switzerland taking on Rosicky's Czech Republic.

After 90 minutes of hard work, the Czech team finally knocked on the door of the host Swiss team with Rosicky's long-range shot from outside the penalty area after the opening of the second half, and got the group opener 1:0.

Two and a half hours later, in Geneva, the match between Belgium and Turkey was about to begin, and Antienes fielded their strongest line-up.

The main goalkeeper chose Eric Bailly, from left to right in the back line are Lombartz, Vermaelen, Kompany and Van Bitten, Simons, Goole, Fellaini and Martens in the midfield, and Dembele and Mirallas in the forward line.

The main lineup on the Turkish side is goalkeeper Demirel, and the backline is Uzurmez, Setin, Asik, Sabri. Sanoglou, midfielder Alda. Turan, Emre, Kaladniz, Big Altentop, striker Nihat partnered with veteran Hakan. Sucre.

With the Czechs already victorious, it can be said that this match will be directly related to the final qualification of this group.
