About this game

Our whole team is very happy, this is a solid step. We have scored a total of 10 goals in the last two games, achieved excellent results, and also gained a significant advantage in goal difference. We hope to be ready for the next training camp in the same state. Our goal is to qualify for the World Cup and we are getting closer to that goal.

About myself, I have represented Turkey 101 times

Today is my 101st game on behalf of the national team. I hope there will be more moments like this in the future.

How do you feel as one of the players who has represented the Turkish national team with the most appearances?

For me, the seniors who have achieved this achievement are legends. It is a great honor to wear the same national team jersey with players such as Arda (Note: Referring to Arda Turan), Emre (Note: Referring to Emre Belozoglou), and Rustu (Note: Referring to Rustu Rezbel).
