According to AFP, the bid official assessed the Turkish bid as extremely strong and well-known by the UEFA executive committee after two failed attempts by the country to organise the tournament in 2008 and 2012.
“The danger for us is to be seen as favourites. Paris was the favourite to host the 2012 Olympics and we all know the result,” Lambert warned.
The FFF director also said he senses less desire and motivation in the Italian bid, but thinks it has an advantage over France having bid for Euro 2012.
