Tomorrow the European Championship will begin, with the first game being played between Turkey and Italy. Featuring in the match will be Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, who spoke at a press conference about the match tomorrow and his future.
The Turkish player has an expiring contract currently with Milan, but the two sides are still in contact about a possible renewal: "I heard from Maldini three days ago, who called me. We spoke about the team and I told him I want to concentrate on the Euros. They have the first responsibility, but I will always speak with great respect both with him and with Massara.
His focus is on the European Championship where he will face "a match with a special significance," as he put it. "I am happy to play against certain teammates. Turkey has waited long for this moment, working hard, and we hope to represent our nation in the best way possible."
"We have studied the strenghts and weaknesses of Italy, they have great players and a prepared coach. There is Insigne but also great defenders. Ambitions? It would be great to play in a final again. The whole team has quality, we must play without fear in order to reach certain satisifactions. With respect to the azzurri, but we are also a young and strong group. It will be special and we want to win."
