talian coaching legend Capello discussed Internazionale and Calhanoglu in an interview with Turkish media outlet TRT Spor.
"Inter had a wonderful season, and of course, Napoli dropped a lot of points, which also played a role. For this Inter team, after all the difficulties, especially after losing to Paris Saint-Germain in last season's Champions League final, it was not easy to quickly rebound and recover. The players desperately needed psychological adjustment and recovery at that time, and the coaching staff achieved great success in this regard, not only at the tactical level but also in the psychological reconstruction of the players," Capello said.
"I brought Chivu from Ajax to Roma, so I know him very well as a player and as a person. He is a very smart guy who clearly knows what needs to be done at a specific moment, and at Inter, he accomplished an extremely difficult task. When you take over a team that has just experienced the trauma of a Champions League final, it is indeed an incredible challenge. He had to put a lot of energy into the psychological development of the players, and he did an outstanding job in this regard. He not only focused on building the tactical system but also paid great attention to the players' mental state."
Capello then also spoke about the Turkish national team and unreservedly praised the key role played by Calhanoglu: "In my opinion, he is the most important player within Inter and also one of the best midfielders in all of Europe. The Turkish national team has the potential to become a very dangerous team. They are not only transforming into a strong team but also a team that can cause huge problems for any opponent. I wish Montella success. During the last European Championship, I closely followed the performance of the Turkish team. They were already a good team then, and now they have accumulated even richer experience."
