/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey surprisingly made it to the semi-finals
at Euro’08 and were praised for their passionate brand of
football. However, things are much different for Turkey at the moment,
as they are struggling in their World Cup Qualification group.
Head coach Fatih Terim’s men have collected only 11 points from seven
matches so far in Group Five and currently sit third on the table
behind Spain and Bosnia & Herzegovina, which crashed Armenian team 0:2.
The former host Turkey on Wednesday evening in a crucial match and
Terim is fully aware of Bosnia’s strength, but he is confident that
the Turkish players will do their utmost to secure a good result.
"We perform well against tough opposition and we must do everything
we can to win. We can still make the play-offs if we beat Bosnia. We
have mighty hearts and can certainly win the match," Terim was quoted
as saying at a press conference.
"However, anything is possible in football and we will bow out as
gentlemen if the worst happens. If we can’t beat Bosnia, then we must
accept defeat in good faith," he said, goal.com reported.
