Small appetizer before June for England! Sunday, the England team faces Turkey in a friendly match. Revenge after their last defeat against the Netherlands, men of the Kingdom will be motivated to deliver the record straight and find the way to victory before the start of the Euro. For their part, the Turks are on a good run but I must admit they have no team played top level for a long time and will have to do without most of their frames. This looks complicated for the Gaza Fatih Terim.
Its history, England has never lost against Turkey. At home, the English have also always fought the Turks.
After their defeat by the Netherlands last March, Hodgson's men will be
desperate to put the record straight before the Euro. This match has nothing friendly for them!
Before Mars, England remained elsewhere on 7 consecutive victories, and is the only European nation to have won all its qualifying matches for the Euro. Solid English!
England will have the advantage of counting on players in great shape. Kane, Vardy, Alli are on fire and will be motivated to convince Hodgson. An asset for local!
Turkey will have to do without its best players: the final of the national cup takes place four days after moving the selection to England, and 11 players are involved! Add to that the star Arda Turan playing the final of the King's Cup on the same day and you get a revamped team and executives at rest.
In this friendly, it was the English who should take over the Turks. With full confidence, availability and concentrates, Hodgson's men will face the job to Turks still mobilized by important issues with their clubs. As always in British Land, the focus is on a Three Lions victory.
