Turkey is expected to have hard time against Croatia at World Cup qualifier opener.
Turkish National Team will start its campaign for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers in very tough away game against Croatia which is country needed to be stated is in a better condition compare to Turkey and it is certain that Croatia would be coming as much more favourites.
Croatian National Team did show that as a team is in good condition and has also provided great game against Turkish National Team at the Euro2016, where it has won with 2:0 scoreline. Taking account that players like Hakan Balta, Caner Erkin and most importantly Arda Turan are not taking to the squad, Turkey is expected to be having a tough game even through it is good chance for Fatih Terim to see current situation of the youth players which can become long-term household names at the national team. One of the main advantages for the game is the fact that game in Croatia would be played without supporters due of ban recieved by UEFA which could make game in more equal condition.
Turkish National Team is going through big revision as been mentioned several times at the blog and its good opponent to see how ready for the qualifying round with one of its main rivals Croatia.
If Galatasaray did transfer Diarra it would lead to big issues at the club.
Galatasaray administrator Levent Nazifoglu has stated why the transfer negotiations with Lassana Diarra didnt work out emphasising his salary demands and surprising demands which could damage their UEFA agreement.
Galatasaray has agreed to keep total salary of the squad as 65 million euro with an agreement with UEFA and by recieving such a target it is likely to not get punished again. However, as administrator of a team Levent Nazifoglu has stated if their did sign Lassana Diarra it would overpass that target.
He stated that Diarra has demanded very high salary and had requested for expensive apartment and cars. Apart of passing its target, Nazifoglu has stated that an agreement could raise an issue at the team as some players would see it as unfairness with those salaries. In other words, if Lassana Diarra did join it might create internal issues which surely team doesnt want at the season where it aims to fight for league title.
Fenerbahce is making full revision of style of play in national team break.
Fenerbahce are creating new team with its newly signed players and appoiting new head coach Dick Advocaat which surely has brought new motivation at the team.
For instance, it is been reported that Advocaat has been travelled to Holland with number of CDs from Fenerbahce performance for this and last season where each player has been analysed and found strongest sides of each player. This analysis could hence make team even more effective with each player playing its strong strength and bring lots of changes to the style of play and starting 11 at the game against Bursaspor at the Super League 3rd week game. This could provide better image of kind of game which Advocaat would bring for this season.
It became clear that Dick Advocaat has also expected some time for adaptation of players and new system and expects for a team to start performing at the 5th week of the Super League.
