Turkish National Team wasnt ready for Euro2016 mentally.
Since Turkish National Team has managed to win Czech Republic at the last game of the Group D in the Euro2016 with 2:0 scoreline, there was raise of hope that things would go as their wanted and it will get help either from Macedonia or from Belgium (which it did) and Italy at the same time but it didnt work like that.
For about 24 hours, between Turkish win against Czech Republic and Irish player Brady goal against Italy things were looking a bit positive however it needs to be noted that there were serious issues at the Turkish National Team even if it qualify to next stage. It could be argued that Turkey should been at the last 16 according to last game, but in same time it was among worser teams at the tournament in game against Croatia and especially Spain. The team didnt show any willingness, motivation which was missing from games played before start of Euro2016 and prior to that in duration of a year. It is certain that there were some issues taking place at the national team and some of them might become clearer in upcoming days or even years, from Fatih Terim and some players memoirs if written. The team was certainly not ready for a tournament and this was especially case mentally rather than physically.
There were number of issues which affected to the team which was outside football, similar problem it can be identified during almost whole last season with Trabzonspor. It is know time to find mistakes which were made to be identified by Fatih Terim and Turkish Football Federation and prepare for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers.
Galatasaray will not compete at Europa League next season for sure now.
As was expected, Court of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) didnt approve request from Galatasaray to lift their 1-year ban which was given by UEFA for not following FFP regulations. Galatasaray CEO Dursun Ozbek did state earlier that it could win this case but it was clear from beginning that it will not be case.
The issues of Galatasaray economically were not in good condition and it was known by everyone and only reason to start case through CAS was to show to UEFA, media and team supporters that it will not accept this ban and would fight for its rights, apart of that there were no other reasons. As been mentioned before, it is time for Galatasaray to go through its finances which is known to be doing right now by reducing number of player and be careful with salaries to players and whole staff. Meanwhile, with this decision it became clear that Osmanlispor would compete at the Europa League where it starts at 2nd qualifying round either against Moldavian team Zimbru Chisinau or Georgian Chikhura Sachktere. Of course, team aims is not only to pass 2nd qualifying round but move until group stages.
Osmanlispor has arleady start training session as it would play its 1st leg game on 14th July and is capable to pass this round without much problem but tough teams will come later especially at play-off stage.
Karabukspor is having Romanian project for next season.
Karabukspor, which will compete at the Super League after being promoted from 1st league, has mainly focussed into Romanian players and technical staff transfers and appointment in this summer. Team has arleady appointed Igor Tudor as head coach last weekend and has signed Astra Giurgiu player Marius Gaman for 3 years today.
This move is similar to the Galatasaray at the mid-90s during which period, with players Hagi, Popescu, Philepescu and others, it made half of the best players at the team with others being Turkish players. However, it needs to be stated that Romanian players are not in same level as their were back in 1990's. However, high number of them are from Romanian National Team squad which to some extend didnt provide too badly performance at Euro2016 if lookign at expected strength by them especially game against France. Plus Genclerbirligi player Bogdan Stancu and performance by Osmanlispor player Gabriel Torje has provided great football last season and surely those transfers would make Karabukspor stronger team possibly fighting at the mid-table.
Bringing Romanian players to Turkey has been used many times since mid-90's and with some of them being strong successes ofcourse their been failures. However, having Romanian head coach at Karabukspor could be good advantage to those players.
