Turkish Captain & Villareal player NIHAT, revs up this team at the press
conference:

“Hemos llegado a un punto, como selección nacional de Turquía, en que
ganar a cualquier equipo ya no es fantasía” We´ve got to a point, as the
Turkish National Team, that to win any other team is no longer a fantasy”.

TURKEY meets tonight at Istambul, the current European Champions SPAIN

If Spain manages to win this very tough game against Turkey they will virtually

a grand game that will be watched by millions in Turkey, Spain & the World.
Good luck to both sides.
