Euro 2016: Czech Republic vs Turkey - 5 players to watch out for

Can Petr Cech keep the Czech dreams alive?

#3 Emre Mor

Can Emre Mor provide Turkey with the spark of creativity?

A relatively new face in Turkish football, Emre Mor is just 18 years old. He’s already someone who’s grabbing media attention since his 10 million euros move to Borussia Dortmund from Nordsjælland. Having made his debut for Turkey earlier last month and has also made a substitute appearance in this tournament.

“The reason that Emre is here is that he is a player who is out of the ordinary,” said Turkish national team coach Terim before the start of the tournament. A right winger by trade, Mor's technical ability is instantly recognisable. Fearless with his attacking runs, he loves to dribble past opposition and is already one the highest dribblers in Europe if an average of 90 minutes is considered. Small but well built, he has the power to match his pace and confidence on the ball to complement his youth.

Although he is most effective on the wings, he is also capable of playing as a number nine. He is yet to score for the national team but he can prove to be the x-factor tonight just like Marcus Rashford has been this season at Old Trafford. The teenager is expected to be on the bench once again but who knows we may see a late winner coming from him, why not?
