What They're Saying
Turkey midfielder Volkan Sen (via Soccerway): "First of all, it's a very nice feeling being back in the national team. I am honored to be invited again. I was very happy. I would like to thank Fatih Terim and his team. Of course, from our perspective, it's going to be a very important friendly game. We play football on the pitch. Regardless of our result, we show on the field the game will be very important to us."
Brazil midfielder Firmino (via Goal): "Dunga told me to take this opportunity because there are no contracts here with the national team. Some players are regular, but the newer guys do not have time to prove themselves. I feel I've done well, but this is already part of the past. In football, we have to prove in every training session and every match that we are capable of being a starter."
