FootballThey will look to Hakan Çalhanoğlu for inspiration, whom Montella describes as the 'No. 1 midfielder in the world', per Football Italia.
Turkey has lost six of their last seven UEFA Euro matches (W1) and has kept only one clean sheet in their last 12 tournament games, a 2-0 group-stage win against the Czech Republic at Euro 2016.

Euro 2020: Did not qualify
Georgia will make its debut as an independent country in a major international tournament at Euro 2024.
After defeating Greece in the play-offs, the Crusaders are the only first-time participants in this year's competition.
FIFA ranks them lowest among the contenders, and they haven’t won against any of the 23 sides in Germany since a 1-0 victory over Scotland in 2015.
With just three players in Europe’s top five leagues, Georgia will rely heavily on Napoli forward, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a creative force as a second striker, and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Euro 2020: Round of 16
Portugal’s squad is headlined by an enviable, formidable attack.
Roberto Martinez can choose from stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Leao, Bernardo Silva, Diogo Jota, Goncalo Ramos, Joao Felix, and Pedro Neto.
The Selecao are entering their ninth Euros, maintaining an unbroken streak of reaching the knockout stages since 1996, having never failed to advance from the group stage.
Portugal was flawless in qualifying for Euro 2024, winning all 10 games, scoring the most goals (36), and boasting the best defensive record (two goals conceded), Eurosport reports.
However, Martinez faces the tough decision of starting or benching the 39-year-old Ronaldo, who holds numerous Euro records and scored twice in Portugal's final warm-up game.
Regardless, the 2016 champions will be expected to navigate past the group stages.

Euro 2020: Quarter-finals
The Czech Republic is no stranger to the Euros, marking their 11th appearance, including their time as Czechoslovakia.
They were European champions in 1976.
Since reaching the final in 1996, the Czech Republic (or Czechia) has alternated between advancing to the knockout phase and exiting in the group stage.
They aim to break this pattern in Germany, having reached the quarter-finals at Euro 2020.
Patrik Schick shone in the previous edition, scoring five of the team’s six goals and becoming the second Czech player, after Milan Baros in 2004, to be the top scorer at a single Euros edition.
CR7 is set to lead Portugal's attack at Euro 2024 in Germany and will make a record-setting sixth appearance in the European Championship, having previously won the title in 2016.
He is a strong contender for the Golden Boot at Euro 2024, just as he was in the last edition. Sports Brief has outlined five reasons why Ronaldo could be a Euro top scorer once again.
