What happened in Turkish football today? 22.04.2016


Besiktas will come out for one of the most important games of the season.

As the league is getting into last 5 games, leaders will play one of the toughest games against Akhisar Belediyespor which to some extend could decide if their can be champions of this season or not. Akhisar Belediyespor is among teams which are in good form and fighting for Europa League spot and hence among Galatasaray and Konyaspor are two tough games left for Besiktas at fixture.

Also playing this crucial game at away makes Besiktas tasks harder as it will not like to reduce its 5 point advantage which could bring unwanted stress to the team. In fact, Besiktas aims to win its next 3 games and raise league title in the game against Galatasaray and dont worry much about Fenerbahce. Akhisar Belediyespor meanwhile has shown it can be tough side for them as it had shown during game played earlier this season against Besiktas where Akhisar managed to win. Akhisar Belediyespor with the win last week meanwhile has got once again chance to get Europa League spot and if team wins tomorrow it could raise chances and motivation even more for them. Besiktas did show at the last game against Sivasspor that despite winning in Sivas it was not  easy for them to win while playing away.

Besiktas after this game will have back-to-back home games and hence it will get strong advantage if it manages to win Akhisar Belediyespor and surely this would be important for them during their fight for title.

Fenerbahce doesnt plan to extend contract with Caner Erkin.

The condition of the Fenerbahce player Caner Erkin carries on being uncertain as it seems that both team head coach Vitor Pereira and administrators did not forgive the player due of disrespectful behaviour prior to Galatasaray game last week towards Pereira.

Despite of the fact that Caner Erkin did send public apology through social sites, Fenerbahce doesnt seem to accept this apology and doesnt plan to extend contract with him this summer. There is arleady big interest to transfer Caner Erkin by Besiktas and overseas clubs with main club being interested is Inter Milan. It would be better option for Caner Erkin to move to Italy, as long as conditions of contract are satisfactorily for all three parties as it would allow him to improve as footballer and possibly get away from Turkish media which affected his personality lately due of personal life issues.

Caner Erkin is key player to Fenerbahce and hence such reaction by Vitor Pereira and administrators to the incident show that it is being much worser than we think if Fenerbahce does not  want to keep player at the team.

Mircea Lucescu is saviour which never came to save Turkish football

Whenever the big 4 teams are looking for head coach, name of current Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Mircea Lucescu pops up at the administrators and media. Right now there is strong news that Trabzonspor, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are interested to appoint him.

Lucescu has stated several times, and in fact this topic was mentioned at our blog, that he is angry of all this news popping up and it affects negatively to him, club and supporters of Ukrainian side. Even through Lucescu does give signs that he might consider leaving team after this season, he states clearly that is now focussed to this season and might consider transfers in the summer. All of this interest towards him in Turkey is due Lucescu coaching Galatasaray and Besiktas and making both teams champions hence love and admiration of Turkish adminsistrators, supporters and media towards him which been raised back then.

Since he left Turkey, Mircea Lucescu was treated in Turkish media as saviour who never came to save Turkish football.
