What happened in Turkish football today? 21.07.2016


Osmanlispor impressive beats Zimbru at Europa League qualifier

After having more nervous 1st leg game against Zimbru during Europa League 2nd qualifying round, Osmanlispor has provided much more dominant football during 2nd leg as it won with comfortable scoreline of 5:0.

Playing in Ankara and having very patriotic fans behind them which has used an opportunity also to show their support after failed coup d'etat to the Turkish government and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the game, team has dominated game from start to end. Umaru for sure has become main player for the whole side, with his hat-trick against Moldavian side and had provided an important role to make such a game in comfortable win by scoring first 3 goals. Osmanlispor surely has done great job as all of the teams around Turkey were under shock after last Friday events in the Turkey however it didnt affect team, and even might provide extra motivation to the side.
It was stated as soon as this draw become clear that Zimbru was weaker side and hence by clinching some hope from 1st leg it had very difficult task and has therefore had experienced short qualification campaign at the Europa League.

Kalju will be opponents for Osmanlispor in the next round after it has won Maccabi Haifa at the qualification with penalties and it could be stated that Osmanlispor was lucky and has good chance to get to play-off stage of qualifacation for Europa League.

Besiktas started negotiations with Eren Derdiyok as an alternative to Mario Gomez.

Besiktas has announced today that it has started transfer negotiations with Kasimpasa player Eren Derdiyok. This focus into Derdiyok could be seen as their as an alternative for Mario Gomez who was loaned in the club last season and has lost its main goalskorer from last season.

After Besiktas has sold its player Demba Ba in the last season it was seen that team would lose its strength but quite opposite it has managed to become even stronger team which led for team to get league title. However, it is questionable if Eren Derdiyok is great alternative to Mario Gomez as those both players are different calibres. It does need to be stated for instance that as the team was aiming to become much stronger team for next year, it had spend most of its summer to try to solve issues with its current squad such as Mario Gomez, Jose Sosa, Atiba Hutcinshon and Gokhan Tore. However, team seems to start solving those issues and now would focus into purchasing players very likely.

For now, the team is not ready for next season which it has higher aims with only transfer which could be seen as strengthing could be Gokhan Gonul.

Gaziantepspor are interested to appoint Ismail Kartal.

Gaziantepspor has agreed to appoint Ismail Kartal as team's head coach according to some reports at the Turkish sports media and if this news is true it would be first job by Ismail Kartal since leaving from Fenerbahce.

Even through in his career Ismail Kartal didnt have great achievements he is still a person who can make team stronger in next season and make it fight for mediocre places at the league. It was known that since end of last season, when Sergen Yalcin has left the team the team was without head coach and it was looking for replacement mainly focussing at the Turkish coaches. Ismail Kartal did to some extend provide good performance at the Fenerbahce during 2014-15 season when team has ended at 2nd place in the league but it didnt satisfy demands of its supporters and aims for league title which that season administrators surely had.

Ismail Kartal does seem to be good option for Gaziantepspor who as said above could help team to at least not to have any relegation fear next season.
