The National Team will face Austria in the last 16 round of the 2024 European Football Championship. Coach Vincenzo Montella is working on different strategies for the offensive line.
Montella plans to strengthen the offensive line by trying players like Arda Güler and Barış Alper Yılmaz in different positions. Scenarios such as Arda being moved to the center and Barış being moved to the right wing are being considered.
Cenk Tosun’s performance and role will be decisive in the center forward position. Montella is inclined to keep the experienced player on the bench, but there is also the possibility of giving him a chance to play.
In the midfield, a new arrangement will be made due to Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s suspension. It is stated that Orkun Kökçü may take the central position, but the final decision has not been made yet.
It is stated that Montella aims to keep the midfield strong in the Austria match and plans to play with two defensive midfielders. It is stated that Kaan Ayhan and İsmail Yüksek will play important roles in defense and focus on showing resistance against the opponent.
