What happened in Turkish football today? 06.05.2016


Fenerbahce has a chance to make a double at the end of the season

Turkish Cup final of the 2015-2016 season will be between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray at the May 26th in the Antalya. Once again the biggest rivarly will be taking place at the final and very likely providing exciting game between two teams.

Both teams has managed to get to the final without having much problem, with Fenerbahce looking at the scoreline has had easier entrance with an aggregate of 5:0 after two legs at the semi-final. During yesterday's game where Fenerbahce has won with two goals of Fernandao, Fenerbahce has started game in a way that it was confident that it will get to final and allowed Konyaspor to dominate tempo of the game which was not too fast. As been mentioned at the preview, Fenerbahce head coach Vitor Pereira would not like his team to lose even through with an advantage which could mean that
Konyaspor could won game with 1:0 and still allow Fenerbahce get to final. Right now all of the focus would be given to the Basaksehirspor game on 9th May during Super League 32nd week game where it can even get to leadership with 2 left games as long as Galatasaray manages to win against Besiktas.

Fenerbahce head coach Vitor Pereira after Konyaspor game has stated that everyone at the club believe it can win the league and expects same from supporters. One thing is certain Fenerbahce has only one aim for last 3 games of the season: is to get 9 points.

Mircea Lucescu could offer his son Razvan for Galatasaray coach post while being sports director.

Intensive negotiations between Galatasaray administrators with Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Mircea Lucescu has been carried on with the news that Lucescu plans to leave Shakhtar Donetsk.

Despite of that there is an active talk that Mircea Lucescu plans to end his career as head coach as he believes that he is getting too old to catch-up with fast-paced football. To return, Lucescu plans to offer to Galatasaray his son as head coach Razvan Mircescu and in return he will be sports director of the team. With this, Lucescu would play more background role at the team and would provide strong assist to his son Razvan. This offer didnt look too positively at the beginning by Istanbul giants but with Mircea being playing an active background role it could be best option for a team.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray to have alternatives to the role of the head coach including Lucien Favre. Favre doesnt seem to be too interested for Galatasaray job according to rumours but this option is still open for him.

It is hard for team like Leicester City to come out in Turkey.

Following yesterday's Turkish Cup 2nd leg semi-final game against Fenerbahce, Konyaspor head coach Aykut Kocaman has stated that it is hard for them and in general in Turkey to be team like Leicester City.

By this statement he once against stated dominance of big 3 teams, where everything goes to finances, media and other factors which stop to create such a miracle. Of course, Bursaspor did manage to win title but that case was an exceptional. In Turkish football, bigger clubs always tend to get favourable condition by many factors outside of football field and inside, with referees being best example. Its not impossible for smaller clubs to become like Leicester City, but it needs to try for long time and hope that external issues allow them. It is possible, but needs lots of effort.

Konyaspor meanwhile needs to aim to become stronger team for next season and it will do by doing smart transfers and develop existed players and in return provide great performance at Super League next season and also at Europa League.
