What happened in Turkish football today? 30.05.2016

Turkey has reminded us that it doesnt give up until final whistle.

Turkish National Team has made its slogan for the Euro 2016 as "#BizBittiDemedenBitmez", which translates from Turkish roughly as "#ItsNotOverUntilWeSayItsOver", and the last minute goal from Mehmet Topal against Montenegro made it obviously why this slogan is still case as it was 8 years ago.

Turkish National Team has become one of the most-talked teams during Euro2008 with its last minute goals which allowed them to get needed wins and draws against Switzealand, Czech Republic, Croatia and it almost did in semi-final against Germany. However, in Turkey jokingly football analysts state that this last minute goals should not be in Euro2016 as heart of fans might not get this pressure and could lead to dangerous effects to everyone. As been stated yesterday, Turkey did not play its best football with possible pressure having from being last friendly game before Fatih Terim decides on his final 23-player squad. It is needed to say that high number of players are been decided and starting 11 is almost ready however there is big questions about players who would be in the 2nd plan, such as substitutes.

There are lots of talks about Emre Mor being selected or not as he had provided great performance but there is worry that him being only 18 years old could be downside due of high pressure and excitement at the Euro2016. Fatih Terim will announce final squad before 1st June and we migth get lots of idea what kind of Turkey we would see in Euro2016.

Besiktas player Gokhan Tore wants to move to West Ham United.

West Ham United has carried on its interest towards Besiktas player Gokhan Tore and it became clear according to rumours that Tore wants also to leave Besiktas to Engish side in this summer transfer window.

According to rumour, Tore has stated to Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman that he has better understandement and communication with ex-Besiktas and current West Ham United head coach Slaven Bilic and not with Senol Gunes. It needs to be remembered that after New Year, also due of injuries, Gokhan Tore didnt provide much to the team road to league title. Even if Besiktas would like to keep him at team in sense of making strong team stronger, it will not big loss for them if their sell him to West Ham United.

Slaven Bilic during his period at Besiktas has used Gokhan Tore a lot and hence should be seen normal for him to provide such big interest to his old player.

Genclerbirligi signs Giresunspor player Vedat Muric.

Genclerbirligi are among first teams in the Super League which has made final aggreement at this transfer window, with 1st league Giresunspor player Vedat Muric who is among key players at the 1st league and also provided good performance at the Turkish Cup this season.

During winter transfer window, Fenerbahce was known to have active interest to the Muric but didnt manage to get transfer. Vedat Muric as  a player has a good skills and would be great help for Genclerbirligi for next season and possibly can make team to have less stressful season compare to one which just ended. The mediocre teams, like Genclerbirligi, need to make good transfers with their budget as most teams would have stronger squads next season.

Vedat Muric move to Genclerbirligi is also important move for him as he would be able to perform at the top league.

What happened in Turkish football today? 29.05.2016

Turkish National Team wins once again while scoring at last minute

Turkish National Team player Mehmet Topal last second goal against Montenegro at the pre-
Euro2016 friendly game has brought flashbacks of the Euro2008 tournament where Turkey has won games at last minutes/seconds of the game.

However, it needs to be noted that Turkish National Team as a whole has provided pretty poor performance against Montenegro and did not show its high tempo and focus to the game compare to previous games played by Turkey in duration of one year. Despite of being a friendly game it was important for Turkey to win the game to get into high morale prior to Euro2016 as their is only game left among friendlies, which would be against Slovenia. Montenegro despite of not being great danger to the Turkey has provided good lesson regarding how to play against a team which would focus into its defence even through the slow tempo has also been led by Turkey themselves during its performance. In this game, one of the best players was Emre Mor who has provided very fast and attacking football and has shown his hunger into wanting to get into attacks. With this performance it will be no surprise to anyone if Fatih Terim will select him to final squad for the France which should be announced in few days.

Turkey has provided poor performance but it regained morale which was by itself important for a team, and has got rid of negative effect which England loss could have to the team. Regardless of this game however it is importnat to provide great game against Slovenia next week as being last game prior to 1st game at Euro2016 against Croatia on 12th June.

Montenegro has in return provided great defensive pressure to Turkish National Team and could not also reach into tempo which their wanted due of vast number of injuries. However, it still managed to give lessons to Fatih Terim prior to tournament.

Galatasaray could keep Jan Olde Riekerink as team head coach.

Galatasaray as the club right now has a difficult decision if to continue with Jan Olde Rikerink as club head coach or start looking for new head coach. It is known that Galatasaray main priority was ex-Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Mircea Lucescu, but as he has signed contract with Zenit, plans has been changed.

It is known however that the players are happy with Rikerink being head coach of the team and for the team winning Turkish Cup this week has gained his status bit stronger. With remembering that Galatasaray is having negotiations with number of coaches it is still uncertain if it would agree with them and if their would, what would be conditions which their will ask for. Interestingly, the supporters does not seem to be against also extension of contract with Riekerink as their seem happy with him as he did improve team during short time of period. There is rumours that team would raise his monthly salary to 35,000 euro and keep him as head coach and in fact this could be right decision.

Jan Olde Riekerink has made great commununication and understanding with team players which is by itself is crucial for success but it also important if Riekerink would agree to become long-term coach as he had stated before that he came as youth trainer and he did take this job as their was no other option.

Fenerbahce aims to transfer Daniel Agger 

Fenerbahce carries on its focus with transferring Brondby player Daniel Agger with also using big help from team player Simon Kjaer in the negotiations. His signing could be a big advantage for Fenerbahce.

Daniel Agger has a great character and right attitute among the skills which could be crucial for Fenerbahce if he will be joining them. Today Daniel Agger has announced that he has ended contract with Brondby which means that Fenerbahce has one less barrier at signing him. Quite naturally, club fellow Danishman Simon Kjaer is using a role of Fenerbahce and Istanbul ambassador stating to Agger all of the advantages of him to join Istanbul side and also advantages of Turkey as a whole. This is among transfers which could be concluded prior start of Euro 2016.

It is unclear if Agger himself would like to join Fenerbahce but there is number of other clubs interested in him, including Besiktas but Fenerbahce does show bigger interest according to rumours at least.

What happened in Turkish football today? 28.05.2016

Game against Montenegro could be last chance for some Turkish national team players to prove themselves to Fatih Terim.

Turkish National Team is continuing its preparation for the Euro 2016 with 2nd friendly game against Montenegro tomorrow. The following friendly will be important for some of the players as it would be last chance to get to the squad which would go to France.

Number of the players would be at the squad for sure such as Volkan Babacan, Arda Turan however there is also an high amount of players, mainly ones who will be in substitute which head coach Fatih Terim did not decide taking to the France. It will be highly likely that Fatih Terim would mainly provide game time tomorrow to the players which he has some questions at the mind and of course those players would provide their best performance as everyone wants to go to Euro. The job set by Fatih Terim is difficult one and Montenegro game should be able to provide some answers as it is also before last game prior to Euro 2016, as Turkey will meet Slovenia next week.

Montenegro as an opponent could be not referred as difficult as England but it would allow also Fatih Terim to play around with some tactics and find out what is most suitable for tough Euro2016 tournmaent which will take place in two weeks time.

Besiktas are close to sign Fenerbahce player Gokhan Gonul

Fenerbahce player Gokhan Gonul manager Ahmet Bulut has stated that he is over with Fenerbahce extension of contract negotiations as Fenerbahce administrators were lacking to shown any signs of having talks of him. As this was announced by Bulut, rumours that Besiktas has agreed with Gonul transfer are going around the media more actively.

Besiktas does show an interest with Gokhan Gonul with Senol Gunes stating that he would not mind if he joins the team. There are a strong rumours meanwhile that Gokhan Gonul didnt play at the Turkish Cup against Galatasaray on 26th May because the team decided arleady to sell him. This lack of action by Fenerbahce is surprising since Gonul is being one of the key players for Fenerbahce and has huge popularity with the supporters. If thinks would develop like that, we might hear official announcement of movement of Besiktas next week even through there are also English and Spanish clubs interested with him according to Bulut.

If Gokhan Gonul moves to Besiktas it would be big gain for Besiktas and big loss to Fenerbahce. This attitute given by Fenerbahce does raise some questions of problems between team and player behind the closed doors.

Osmanlispor agrees to transfer Bordeaux player Cheick Diabete for 3 years.

Osmanlispor has announced that it made 3-year agreement with Bordeaux player Cheick Diabete, after announcing of Zydrunas Karcemarskas transfer deal yesterday.

Diabete transfer to the Osmanlispor does make team even much stronger prior to Europa League qualifiers and also for next season and has shown to be most active team at transfers so far, with arleady making very effective two transfers. Those two transfers show seriousness of Osmanlispor it takes for next season and showing that it aims to become among strong teams at the league. Cheick Diabete would improve side a lot for the next season and could become one of the key players if team would be able to bring goood results.

As been stated yesterday's blog. it needs also to focus into how Osmanlispor would carry on summer transfer period as it needs to get stronger for good results next season but it is going into that direction for sure.

Galatasaray ends season with the cup title despite of poor season.

Galatasaray has ended 2015-16 football season in the Turkey with winning against Fenerbahce at the Turkish Cup final and has ended very dissapointing season with high note. With following win it had reduced chance of having extra year of UEFA ban and hence bring crises at the administrative side of the team and possibly early election.

Galatasaray wanted to win the game as it was seen clearer before the game and it was stated in the preview of the game at our blog that with this in mind Galatasaray was coming out as favourite. It was clear that the tactics of the game was decided taking account into realistic strength and situation of the team as it had provided much attacking football in 1st half and went into defensive side during 2nd half of the game. This could be seen realisation by Jan Olde Riekerink that team is still incapable of playing for 90 minutes. This has allowed Fenerbahce to provide more attacking football but to the luck of Galatasaray there were not dangerous, apart post by Abdoulaye Ba. Galatasaray has played with a plan and with the performance by Fenerbahce it wasnt hard for them to convert that plan into reality.

Galatasaray ends season at the high note and has possibly recieved apology from its otherwise dissapointed fans as it had won Turkish Cup back-to-back for 3 years and also always won Fenerbahce at the cup finals.

Fenerbahce lacked any reaction and organisation at cup final.

Fenerbahce however didnt provide any focus and motivation towards the game and carried on its downside performance since it had lost game to Basaksehirspor and hence lost its Super League title to Besiktas.

The players during whole game didnt provide any signs of reaction and organisation to show that it wanted to win this game. Even when it provided much more attacking football during 2nd half compare to 1st its attacks were still slowly organised and could be stated to be incomplete. The players didnt show any reaction to Galatasaray way of game and all of this complaints after game led by Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim was once again focussed into other subjects as such as swearing towards club and referees. There are areas which Aziz Yildirim is right however the reaction are not really sportsmanship by him and he is likely to recieve some punishments from Professional Disciplinary Committee so would be decision by Fenerbahce not to come out to cup ceremony.

Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim did state that Vitor Pereira could stay at the club however media does expect him to be sacked by the team. In my opinion, even through Fenerbahce didnt play at its level in whole season, Pereira should stay and Fenerbahce should get rid of its habit of changing coaches at regular bases as it affects stability at the team.

Osmanlispor are close to sign Zydrunas Karcemarskas

Osmanlispor are close to sign ex- Gaziantepspor goalkeeper Zydrunas Karcesmarskas which could be possibly biggest transfer by mediocre teams at the Super League in this summer transfer window and would big gain for continuing success of the team next season and at the Europa League qualifiers.

There were rumours surrounding past days that Fenerbahce were also among clubs who wanted to purchase him but apart rumours there were not any actions taken. In fact, according to Turkish sports website Sporx, unnamed Fenerbahce administrator has stated that team doesnt plan to buy Karcemarskas. Karcemarskas is among 5 main top goalkeepers at the league and he would big gain to the team.

Osmanlispor purchase, if happens, of Zydrunas Karcemarskas is big transfer for them but it needs to carry on making transfers but it is still early days so we could see some interesting transfer stories and contracts made during summer.

Galatasaray wins Turkish Cup by winning Fenerbahce at the final game

Galatasaray has won Turkish Cup final against Fenerbahce and became cup holder for 2015-16 season and hence has saved itself from not competing at the UEFA competitions for 2 years and will only miss European competitions next season unless it doesnt qualify from league/cup route next season.

Galatasaray during the game was one which was dominating the game especially during 1st half despite of not playing perfectly during the game. It had provided the game during in the first half where was controlling game and was providing tempo while Fenerbahce has shown discouraging football and showing signs that it still didnt recover from getting 2nd place at the Super League.
Despite of few attacks such as Abdoulaye Ba post at 2nd half and also few shots, Fenerbahce didnt manage to get much dangerous positions and seemed not to show reaction and answer to the gameplay to the Galatasaray. With Fenerbahce not playing its best football, Galatasaray has managed to provide win with playing good game and using its opportunities with nice goal by Lukas Podolski at 31st minute of the game.

Galatasaray mentally was at better position during the game to win the game as it always focussed to get this title so get Europa League spot and get out of the risk of having extra year from 1-year ban from which it recieved from UEFA FFP. Galatasaray wanted to win game much more Fenerbahce and this was clear from its reactions during whole game.

Fenerbahce players during the game despite of some moments were not focussed to the game which could be to the misundersandstement at the changing room and also players being mentally affected from losing league title to Besiktas. It could be stated that Fenerbahce has given league title both to Besiktas and Galatasaray in this season with how it competed in last 2 months both at the league and tonight.

Trabzonspor will discuss with Erkan Zengin future at the club after Euro2016.

One of the players whose future at the club is  uncertain is Trabzonspor player Erkan Zengin as there are been signs several times both by player and administrators of the team that their not happy with each other. It became clear that his future at the team will be discussed after Euro 2016.

Several days ago Erkan Zengin has stated at the Swedish media that last season Trabzonspor was at the chaos both at financially and motivationally and that players didnt recieve a lot of cash and payments were always delayed. It also needs to be remembered that Zengin was among players who were taken away from squad but forgiven after Super League game against Fenerbahce. It can be certainly stated that Trabzonspor, as long as Zengin is mentally focussed to his performance, is a player which team would like to keep however it is questionable if he would come with agreement with new head coach Ersun Yanal. It is clear for now that Yanal is only interested to keep players who would give their all with their performance and Zengin needs to prove that.

Also, one of the ways to achieve that is good performance by him at the Euro2016 with Sweden which could keep him at team next season.

Besiktas has offered 5 million euro to Osmanlispor player Umar Aminu. 

Besiktas has offered 5 million euro to the Osmanlispor player Umar Aminu and has shown a good sign of interest to one of the key players of last season of Ankara team. Even through Aminu is not in same level as Besiktas current squad, he would give some great advantage to the team.

It is known that Besiktas does focus into making star-focussed transfers this summer but focussing into quality players at the Super League would allow them to get good players at the market for cheaper value. It is important just to get get players which would be effective and Aminu is among them. Umar Aminu with number of goals scored at the team and general performance would only give advantage to Besiktas for next season and could be seen in return be seen as big loss to Osmanlispor.

It is however unclear how Osmanlispor would react to Besiktas offer as it is said it will not like to lose a very important player at its squad if it wants to get through Europa League qualifiers this summer.

For Galatasaray this game is more than Turkish Cup final

Football season in the Turkey is coming to the conclusion tomorrow with a crucial Turkish Cup final between two best teams in the country. Undoubetedly due of 1-year ban from UEFA competions this final is being more important to Galatasaray.

If Galatasaray doesnt manage to get to the Europa League spot at the end of the Turkish Cup final game it will be able to go through ban next season which is very crucial, or otherwise it will have ban from next season  as it could mean missing from Champions League after next season. Players are hence will be seeing this game as incredibly important and mentally would prepare to the game in that way. Certainly, Galatasaray would like to have other team rather than its arch-enemies but taking account that team did improve towards end of the season, better performance at the Turkish Cup and also higher focus and motivation could make a bit more favourite even through Fenerbahce physically might be in better condition.

This game is more than Turkish Cup final for them and Galatasaray supporters would be likely see its previous statistics as good sign before game as Galatasaray shown superiority at the Turkish Cup against its rivals in overall but it will be tough game for both sides.

Future of some Fenerbahce personnel relies into result against Galatasaray 

In same time, Fenerbahce win against Galatasaray is crucial for them as it is best way to get its forgiveness for missed league title which it handed to Besiktas. Also, this could be last chances for head coach Vitor Pereira and players to prove themselves before summer transfer window.

It is known that after losing league title towards end of the race and not using high chances of getting that title, the motivation and morale of players went into low and it is rumoured that their didnt recover entirely from this prior to Turkish Cup final. However, the derby games against their main rivals has always been extra motivational boost especially towards Turkish players. Taking circumstances, the loss of the game has less cost to the Fenerbahce, but it has many reasons to win the game among them its being against its main rivals who its been unlucky at the competitions for last seasons.

The game would be very likely to be dominated in tactical manner with both sides would probably focus into not losing game rather winning it at start of the game at least.

Emre Mor looks to be most talked player during upcoming transfer window season.

FC Nordjelland player Emre Mor has released high number of focus towards himself especially when Turkish National Team head coach Fatih Terim has got him towards provisional national team squad of the Euro2016.

Even through, him being at the Danish league, we didnt see him play a lot as fans but according to scouts he is great player and hence high interest to purchase him by number of the teams including Galatasaray and Besiktas. There are also rumours which circulated at Turkish sports newspapers that Borussia Dortmund wanted to purchase him but this news has been declined by his manager. It does look, unless he signs early in the transfer window, that Emre Mor would be among most talked players during summer transfer window.

By the way, we might see Emre Mor get some playing time in friendly games against Macedonia on 29th May or/and against Slovenia on 5th June if Turkish National Team head coach Fatih Terim decides to give him playing time.
