1. Admire Real Madrid stars
At the end of the 2023/24 season after Real Madrid won La Liga, Arda Guler continuously scored goals. He continued to show that charm in Türkiye when he drew a rainbow against Georgia. A perfect shot aimed straight at the top corner made the opposing team’s goalkeeper helpless.
Guler showed the value of a prodigy because he created an important turning point for Türkiye. He became the youngest player to score in his EURO debut, breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s old record. The Real Madrid star’s career will go far if he maintains his current form.
2. Best match
This deserves to be the best match of EURO 2024 so far, before Portugal meets the Czech Republic. Both teams attacked with dedication and tit-for-tat continuously. 90 minutes saw coach Vincenzo Montella and his team launch 22 shots, while Georgia had 15 penalty situations.
12 shots on goal were made and it brought in 4 goals. In addition, the match also recorded 3 moments of hitting the wooden frame, with 1 belonging to Türkiye and 2 for Georgia. The parameters just mentioned show that this match is very evenly matched even though the scoreboard shows a 3-1 difference. Neither team was too inferior to the other and they were ready to attack, so the match progressed very quickly.
3. Brave spirit
In their first EURO appearance, Georgia played without fear. The white team is strong enough to make the red shirt defense wobble. Before conceding a goal in injury time, Mr. Willy Sagnol’s army also hit the ball against the post. After that, a Turkish player must roll to block the opposing team’s kick.
If the EURO rookie had been luckier at that crucial moment, they would have won the draw instead of suffering a lopsided defeat.
4. Türkiye is not average
Hakan Calhanoglu, Guler or Kenan Yıldız are outstanding factors in the Turkish attack. However, that trio does not hold all of the team’s publicity power. Mr. Montella has built a fiery attacking team, ready to deploy the ball and coordinate anywhere, rather than playing monotonously.
Whether it’s playing on the wings or attacking the middle of a short ball, the Turkish stars all do very well. They brought fiery attacking football and explained why they overcame Croatia to lead the EURO 2024 qualifiers.
Portugal and the Czech Republic cannot underestimate the team nicknamed The Crescent-Stars.
5. The alpha bird struggles
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is Georgia’s brightest star. He was placed as a striker alongside Georges Mikautadze. The contribution of Napoli’s opponents after 90 minutes at Signal Iduna Park was not enough to make everyone admire.
He only successfully performed 3/11 dribbling situations. Sofascore gave Kvaratskhelia a score of 6.7, an achievement that is not among the best in the team if we know that Georgia owns 7 names that are rated as the best left wingers.
Kvaratskhelia is not necessarily bad, but he is not outstanding enough to show his status as the team’s brightest star.
