<p>Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella said his team showed that criticism of their Euro 2024 performances was unfair by defeating the Czech Republic 2-1 on Wednesday to reach the last 16.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Montella&rsquo;s side earned a tense victory over the 10-man Czechs to reach the knockout phase of a major tournament for the first time since a run to the Euro 2008 semi-finals. Turkey, who have been roared on by vociferous support in Germany, had struggled in a 3-0 loss to Portugal last time out to put their hopes of qualifying from Group F in peril. &ldquo;We are always focused and hardworking, we deserve this qualification,&rdquo; said Italian Montella.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;We have suffered some criticism that was not deserved, and we overcame that. I&rsquo;m used to pressure, I don&rsquo;t mind it, but I don&rsquo;t like when pressure is put on my players.&rdquo;</p>
