What happened in Turkish football today? 27/05/2018


Turkish National Team would start its friendly 3-game period against Iran.

Turkish National Team would starts its friendly period where it would be playing with World Cup contenders with Iranian National Team as Turkey has heavily youth players which would be aiming to prove themselves for Nations League which would start in September.

As it was stated before-hand, Turkish National Team head coach Mircea Lucescu due of not getting qualified for World Cup 2018 would now focus into buiding stronger and younger side as this project has also taken place during last friendlies games against Macedonia and Republic Of Ireland. Playing against Iran, which is among top nations at football from their region and also regulars at the World Cup in recent years, would be good test for the team. It could be argued that as level of team is not much higher compare to Turkey but with Iran approaching differently due of World Cup coming up it would be able for Turkish National Team to provide game against side which has high aims. Those young players at game tomorrow would have great opportunity to prove themselves for Mircea Lucescu for sure and does provide signals that trust from him towards them is in place and their can be at side which would be fighting for Euro2020 spot after summer.

Iran as been mentioned could be seen as not strong opponents but it is tough game for most younger players and good chance to test them in such a level without doubt.

Besiktas has made principal agreement with Yusuf Simsek for assistant coach role.

It became known that Besiktas has made principal agreement with coach Yusuf Simsek for the role of assistant coach for Senol Gunes as club has stated in recent days that it would be looking for assistant to Senol Gunes.

Besiktas has played last season with losing Tamer Tuna and hence leaving Senol Gunes to be alone at coaching level and by some this has been negative consequences as Besiktas didnt provide great performance at the Super League as it ended at 4th place. With start looking for different names for this role, it became clear that club has made deal with Yusuf Simsek, who did have playing career at the club, and are now awaiting for approval from Senol Gunes as it is still unknown if Gunes would be interested for Simsek to be his assistant. Yusuf Simsek meanwhile does have some coaching experience at lower leagues and taking account level of performance does have lots of success but still needs to be done a lot to improve. As could be seen from Tamer Tuna case, Senol Gunes can provide this experience to him and hence it would be also big advantage for Simsek himself and is very likely to agree on this term.

If Yusuf Simsek, or other coach would be appointed as assistant coach for Senol Gunes, it would certainly reduce stressful condition for Gunes as he would be able to have 2nd hand who would be able to recognise issues which might not be seen from Gunes during games and trainings.

Besiktas has made principal agreement with Deportivo La Coruna player Emre Mor.

It has also been reported today that Besiktas has made an principal agreement with Deportivo La Coruna player Emre Colak as his side has been relegated from La Liga in this season which certainly would not keep Colak willing to stay at the team.

It needs to be stated that after having career at Galatasaray, Emre Colak has been travelled to Spain with high expectation and he has fulfilled for most amount of time being also selected as  player of the team several times by the fans. He didnt show great performance during this season but as team has been relegated this could be mainly seen as collective issue. As player, he is still be able to provide performance at Besiktas and factor that he has all transfer fee in his hands would allow Besiktas to sign him for low amount of cash which is good news as Besiktas does need to be careful with its economical issues during this summer transfer window as aims to reduce its total 80 million euro players salaries to 55 million euro. It does look like that both sides did make strong deal and unless their is last minute changes he would be able to join them.

Besiktas would certainly aim to make this kind of transfers with focussing into quality players with low transfer fees as it would be aiming to solve mainly its attacking section of the squad during this summer.
