The rivalry has peaked in our National Team! Çağlar Söyüncü and Can Uzun detail...

Vincenzo Montella, who wanted to see how his alternatives were doing ahead of the World Cup, received very positive signals from the players he fielded against North Macedonia. Especially the performance of Oğuz Aydın in the first half was remarkable. The young player, who was criticized from time to time during his club season, showed how effective he can be in the national shirt. With his dynamism on the bench, his courage in one-on-ones and his offensive contribution, he showed that he will be an important option in the World Cup rotation.

Caglar gets full marks

Çağlar Söyüncü, who took the field as captain in defense, was among the standout names of the night. The experienced stopper, who had an up and down season at Fenerbahçe, looked confident and a leader in the national team jersey. Leading the defense, Çağlar received full marks from the technical board with his performance.

Can Uzun shines

One of the most striking names of the match was Can Uzun. The young starlet, who made his impact felt with a shot that hit the post at the very beginning of the match, showed his quality once again. With his confidence in offense and his contribution to the game, he signaled that he can push for the first 11 in the World Cup squad. The most important gain of the night for Montella was the competition within the squad. In a long and challenging organization like the World Cup, not only the starting 11 but also the contribution from the bench will be decisive. The alternative names that took the stage against North Macedonia showed that the wide squad quality of the Turkish Stars can be one of their biggest trump cards in the tournament.
