ARDA TURAN:"I think offense is the best defense,"

Turkish National team coach and players are on the same page...

We all know Terim always believes in good defense before attack...

Well, Today in press Conference Arda Turan said:"I think offense is the best defense,"

"If we attack strongly, then our rivals will have to defend against us. We will try to score and be aggressive. That's the influence of our coach."

Turan who plays in central midfield and try and get the ball in behind opposition defenses to forward Nihat Kahveci. Emre Belozoglu and Hamit Altintop will be on either flank to allow Turan to drive forward, with Mehmet Aurelio in a holding role behind them to provide security on any possible counterattacks.

The 21-year-old Turan has been known to drift out of games late in the second half due to being physically weaker than his teammates, but he says he has toughened up and improved his tackling.

After Portugal, Turkey will play co-host Switzerland on June 11 and the Czech Republic four days later.
