Calhanoglu: France is the Top Contender for the World Cup and We Hope to be the Champions

The Turkish player Hakan Çalhanoğlu stated that the French national team is the leading contender for winning major tournaments, highlighting the strength and depth of its lineup, which includes many stars in various positions.

Çalhanoğlu added that the French national team not only has one main lineup but also what he described as "three complete teams" of players, which raises the team's level significantly and makes it difficult for any opponent to compete against them.

He also pointed out that teams like Argentina and Brazil are always among the contenders, while affirming at the same time that his and his teammates' ambition is to reach the top and win the title despite the strength of the competitors.

He concluded his remarks by emphasizing that facing major teams is not something to fear, but rather an opportunity to prove oneself, adding that self-confidence can make a difference against any opponent, regardless of their name or history.
