Hakan Calhanoglu, from Turkey's training camp, gave an interview to channel TV8.5 via Italian website Fcinter1908.it: "I had the opportunity to come to Turkey when I was at AC Milan. Before coming to Inter Milan, I had the chance at Galatasaray. At that time there were presidential elections at Galatasaray, but then they didn't take place.
Currently I am at Inter Milan, I have extended my contract until 2027. I don't know what time will say and what will happen in the future: it would be wrong for me to say anything, I don't want to deceive anyone."
"When we lost the Champions League in the final it was a difficult moment for us. After that defeat we became Champions of Italy and won the second star. We are doing well now, the next games will be important for us.
The Champions League system has changed a lot. I am happy that Arda Güler won, that a Turk won the cup. I hope we will have the chance too.
Before the Juventus game I told to my teammates: "Don't let Kenan Yildiz 'breathe’. They didn't take it very seriously and then he was the player who changed the game. After the game I said to my teammates: ‘I told you so’.
The missed penalty against Napoli? I don't run away from my responsibility. If I miss another penalty, I'll shoot it again.
Some might think I have an ego: it's not about that, I trust myself".
"I agree with the players who complain about the busy match schedule. We don't have a rest period.
We play a game every 2-3 days. Now there is a break for the national team, but when we come back, we will continue again.
We don't have a rest period, there are also injuries because of this schedule.
At home I don't follow football at all, I don't watch games because I don't have time. I train, I play, I recover. So when I have free time I dedicate it to my children" ended Calhanoglu.
