The National Team's strategy for the Belgium match has been determined

National Team Head Coach Sergen Yalçın has determined a game plan centered on defensive security for the critical UEFA Nations League match against Belgium to be played in İzmir tomorrow.

The crescent-star team will take the field in a 4-2-3-1 formation when in possession of the ball. When the ball passes to the opponent, the team aims to close the gaps between the blocks by shifting to a 4-4-2 formation. To avoid risking defensive security, it is planned that the full-backs will not join the attack at the same time.

In the midfield, İsmail Yüksek will take on the task of winning the ball, while captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu will dictate the direction of the game. Arda Güler will serve in a free role in attacking organizations; positions will be created through the speed of Barış Alper Yılmaz and the overlapping runs of Ferdi Kadıoğlu. Set pieces will be utilized with players who have high aerial dominance, such as Merih Demiral.

Instead of disorganized pressing, the team will prefer a fast and vertical game when they win the ball by applying collective pressure at the right time. In the match to be officiated by Swiss referee Sandro Scharer, the goal is to respond to the opponent's physical strength with a disciplined defensive structure.
