Deniz Gul confirms himself as the main offensive weapon of the Turkish national team heading into the 2026 World Cup. After shining in the first test, scoring the goal that secured victory against North Macedonia, the FC Porto forward was once again a starter in Turkey’s second preparatory match, this time against Venezuela, in a game held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
At halftime, the match remains balanced, with a score of one goal each. Mendoza put Venezuela ahead in the 13th minute, but Yilmaz restored equality for the Turks just before halftime, in the 45th minute. Deniz Gul, who inherited the iconic number 9 jersey, is proving to be Montella’s choice to lead Turkey’s attack on the road to the 2026 World Cup, confirming his status as an undisputed starter.
His consistent presence in the starting eleven, along with the confidence shown by the coach, indicates that Deniz Gul will be a key player in Turkey’s ambition to perform well in the global competition. Fans of FC Porto and the Turkish national team hope that the forward continues to showcase his goal-scoring instinct and ability to create imbalance in the upcoming challenges. The World Cup is approaching, and Deniz Gul is preparing to be one of Turkey’s stars.
