The football players of Turkey arrived in Montenegro to secure their place in the A League of Nations with a victory.
They could have done it on Saturday, if Kerem Akturkoglu had not missed a penalty in the 89th minute against Wales (0:0), so on Tuesday (20.45:XNUMX) they are chasing three points that would secure first place.
Vincenzo Montela, the coach of Turkey, is a well-known name, and during his career he often had "deals" with Montenegrins. Specifically - in Fiorentina with Stefan Savić, Stevan Jovetić and Marko Bakić.
"They were my students. Jovetić was a great talent, and he is still a great footballer. Bakić was a young player at the time, he showed a lot of promise, but he didn't make the career I thought he would have given his talent. I am also glad to have met Mirko Vučinić, my friend from the time he was in Roma, and an honor to see Dejan Savićević again. As a young Milan fan, I enjoyed his goals and moves," said Montela at the press conference.
Turkey came with three points to continue their obvious progress.
"We were in the C division, now we are close to A. We want to progress, and the match with Montenegro will not be easy at all, they are not a team to be underestimated. We have to assert ourselves, even though we are weakened," said Montella.
