Turkey was close but it their fault not to be in last 16.
As we were coming to the final games of the Euro 2016 group stage we were hoping that scorelines at the Group F and especially at the Group E would go as we would like to but the goal by Irish player Brady at the 85th minute to the Italy has ended our dreams.
As Turkish National Team has done its job by winning 2:0 against Czech Republic at the last game yesterday, the motivation of the team and supporters has been risen hoping that we would be lucky to go through as we were to get to the tournament in first place. In fact, the chances to get to the last 16 could have happened even earlier with Portugal game against Hungary, as Hungary has led the score three times and in fact Bursaspor player Dzudzsak has scored twice and it would been ironic if he could make sure that Turkey gets to last 16. Even through the next two games was looking to be hopeful, fact that Italy was playing with 2nd squad did make case more harder. Most dramatic thing that when Belgium did score at its game and Turkish supporters around world has celebrated, Ireland has scored straight away in the game against Italy.
However, it does need to be stated that Turkey has put this mess into themselves and each 16 teams at the tournament has deserved to be there. And once again neither do Hungary- as it shown with antifootball at the last minutes of games, Italy and with Belgium who had it own aims does not care about Turkey getting to next stage or not, and not single national team would care.
Once again Turkey has shown great reaction when its most needed.
Turkish National Team has shown right reaction to the game which it needed to win with at least 2 goals against Czech Republic and as always has shown right reaction when it was needed. The team has been for long time known to start poorly at the campaigns and then give much needed reaction when it was most needed.
The chances against Czech Republic even through were optimistic prior to the game very not optimistic prior to game in the Turkish media, there were some uncertainty due of previous games against Croatia and Spain. However, with strong performance by whole team with especially performance by Burak Yilmaz and Emre Mor has brought much needed win which it was seeking for against Czech Republic. The fact that Czechs needed to win and also due of slow pace football which this team plays has led them some difficulty which was turned into advantage to Turkish National Team which is at its good day, which it was yesterday, was playing faster football and had control of the game. Turkish National Team did deserve this win but unfortunately it didnt get chance to build on this with Brady goal today to Italy..
Turkish National Team players and mainly head coach Fatih Terim has made their critics quiet towards all criticisms and bad words it recieved from media and supporters. However, its does not mean Turkey doesnt have some issues at football and their needed to be focussed at near future.
Galatasaray transfer Serdar Aziz for 4 years.
Galatasaray becomes first big team in Turkey to make transfer by transferring Bursaspor player Serdar Aziz for 4 years. Serdar Aziz was among players which was most wanted by clubs around Turkey this summer but he has chosen Galatasaray.
It is known that Besiktas had strong negotiations with Serdar Aziz beforehand and he was among players who would provide strength to Besiktas, but with the issues at Galatasaray right now its needs to be stated that Aziz was to some extend more needed to them then to any other teams. Surely the old relationship between Galatasaray and its ex-player and head coach Hamza Hamzaoglu, currently Bursaspor head coach, has played an important role at the negotiations and also obvious want for Serdar Aziz to carry on his career at the big team. Serdar Aziz during past years has been among best players at the Bursaspor with being also selected to the Turkish National Team several times and didnt attend to Euro2016 only for recieving injury.
It was also important to purchase such an important player before the start of the pre-season training sessions and Serdar Aziz will have lots of time to get used to his new team.
