What happened in Turkish football today? 24.10


Trabzonspor win was not eye catching but very important for brighter days. 

Following 4 week loss streak by Trabzonspor, club has won very important game against fellow struggling team at Turkish Super League, Sivasspor with 2:0 scoreline. Most importantly, it was important chance for Trabzonspor to show itself that it is at the race.

In performance wise, Trabzonspor has still played poorly in the game which was surely unsatisfying for club's fans. During second half after conceding 2nd goal, Sivasspor has played much better and attacking football. Apart of that Sivasspor has got some important position which only due of not quality legs could not be realised as goals.

Coming at the Trabzonspor side, it has performed still mediocre performance which is far from team standards which would fight for the league title. Key performances of the game was by Oktay Yokuslu due of his hunger to score goals which has been converted in the second goal by quality attack and also willing to score 1st goal, even through it is doubtful if he touched ball from Marin cross. Another key player was Trabzonspor goalkeeper Esteban, who played important role for his team not to get into panic at the end of the game.

In overall, Trabzonspor got an important win which would be huge motivation for upcoming games at the rest of the season.

Sergen Yalcin resignation was predictable but it was one game early

Following Turkish Super League game against Trabzonspor, Sivasspor head coach Sergen Yalcin has got all of the responsibility of bad results to himself and stated that he is sending resignation from his position. Later on same evening Sivasspor has announced that it has terminated contract with Sergen Yalcin.

Following 9 week period, Sivasspor has got 6 wins and 3 losses and so far didn't win single game.
Being at 16th position it is only team which didnt win any game.

Sergen Yalcin is undoubtedly is one of the best players of 1990's early 2000's in Turkish football but unfortunately for him he never managed to become great coach. Yes, he did help his teams to from elimation  but he never managed to bring more after that.

Sergen Yalcin decision with the club does raise question if the resignation could not wait for another week of the league. Club will play next game on Wednesday against Bursaspor and after their wont be game for 10 days which is enough time to find replacement. Club should accepted Sergen Yalcin resignation after next game to give him one more chance and also have more time to find replacement if needed.

Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim speech was dominated by press restrictions given by club.

Out of the field, biggest news of today was speech given by Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim who once again reminded that he will resign as CEO of the club in upcoming May. In addition, he mentioned about relationship with press and match-fixing investigation.

Following speech did not contain any new unexpected words but once again showed attitute given to latest developments which took place in Turkish football and his club particularly. As it is known Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim has started a war with the media following news about Aziz Yildirim being at changing room after game for one hour after Kayserispor game and also furious fights with him and sports director Guiliano Terraneo, both news been declined by club.

Now, Yildirim has announced that in upcoming games, which arleady happened in game against Ajax, only members of the Turkish Sports Journalists Union will be accepted to games and press conferences organised by club.
