Kosovo vs Turkey promises to be an electric showdown between two sides that still cherish the mercurial touch of the old school. Fisnik Asllani and Arda Güler are a dying breed of footballers, ghosts in the machine of modern systems-based coaching methods, so the prospect of these playmakers throwing it back on the same pitch feels like a real treat.
Turkey’s decision-making in the final third is a consistent source of consternation. They had 16 shots in their 1-0 win over Romania, only two of which were on target. 11 of the 16 came from outside the box, several not far from the center circle.
There was therefore a double dose of irony in the breakthrough that came from a beautifully weighted defence-splitting pass from Güler and a delicate touch and finish from Ferdi Kadioglu, defender of the day. Will that affect Vincenzo Montella’s approach as the Crescent-Stars chase a first World Cup appearance since their sensational third-place finish in 2002? Almost certainly not.
Guler and attacking prodigy Kenan Yildiz are so lively that they allow the team to play without an out-and-out striker, while the chip on Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s shoulder, stemming from being largely overlooked on both the club and international stage, has given the captain an otherworldly drive that could do with reining in at times.
The winning team will join the USA, Australia and Paraguay in Group D.
