What They're Saying
Turkey left-back Caner Erkin (via UEFA): "Our preparations in Germany were good as always. We need unity and togetherness, and we are not short of those values while we have our coach Fatih Terim with us. If we can show some real Turkish spirit, then there's no team that we can't beat."
Turkey head coach Fatih Terim: "Provided that we get a victory, the picture in the group will turn into something very interesting. Judging by the football we played in the other games, we should be in a higher position. I can say that the only game we played badly was against Iceland. In the rest, we played well, but failed to get the desired result. Is this match a matter of life and death? Well, mathematically it seems so. Even if we lose, we won't give up. We will still have five games to play.
