Republic of Ireland Under-21s captain Joe Hodge: “We all know what the challenge will be (Türkiye) but we know what the rewards are if we do it right. If we get the job done we’ll be in a great position but there’s still be work to do. We’ll be giving it our best shot to get three points tomorrow.”
Republic of Ireland Head Coach Jim Crawford: “I’m looking forward to the game, I know the players are. It’s an exceptionally tough game, no doubt about it. They were a difficult team when we played them in Turner’s Cross – they have a lot of really good players.
“But for us it’s about not having fear. One of learnings from the last campaign is that if an opportunity comes your way you have to take it.”
