I followed the Euro 2024 tournament carefully. If Turkey were to win, it would be a disappointment for me, but if Portugal were to win, it would be a joy. When you always feel like you can do better, it’s hard not to be disappointed. The teams had a lot of potential in the tournament. I had said that Portugal, France and England were the favorites in my predictions, and I think I made the right prediction in the semi-finals.
Performance of Teams
- Spain: The biggest surprise for me was Spain with the way the teams developed. Spain stood out as the best playing and performing team in the tournament.
- Portugal: Despite reaching the quarter-finals, Portugal did not perform as expected. Despite being a young team, they could not show their full potential.
Transfer Market and Challenges
We are trying to be successful in the Champions League and having the return match at home will be an advantage for us. However, we are faced with difficulties such as the new opening of the transfer market and the increase in costs. This situation makes it difficult for young talents to come to Turkey.
The Joao Neves Example
For example, I think Mourinho may be right when he says that 19-year-old Joao Neves will not come to Fenerbahçe. Neves is an important player for Benfica and has a high value in the transfer market. It may not be possible for such young talents to come to Turkey due to financial difficulties.
| Actor | Club | Age | Position | Current Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joao Neves | Benfica | 19 | Front Libero | 55 million Euros |
