Turkey head coach Vincenzo Montella gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport, talking about the format of the European World Cup qualifiers.
In South America, 60% of the teams can qualify for the World Cup (up to 70% including intercontinental playoffs), while in Europe it is less than 30%
"Before I heard Italy head coach Gattuso's words, I had also had a similar assessment. Clearly, in a single group, it is much easier to qualify than to be eliminated. And now, too many things depend on the draw. For example, we have to beat Spain - the European Champions and the world's best national team - to directly qualify for the World Cup. Personally, I like the system used in the Champions League and other European club competitions, and I believe - at least this is my feeling - that FIFA will study a possible reform following a similar, more equitable model."
Turkey will face Spain away from home in the last round of World Cup Qualifiers Europe.
