What happened in Turkish football today? 09.10.2016


Turkey has provided very poor performance against Iceland.

Turkish National Team has provided its worst performance since start of the World Cup Qualifiers as it has lost to surprising side of Euro 2016 Iceland with 2:0 without providing any control and impressive performance at the freezing weather in Reikjavik.

Even through Turkish National Team didnt win any games from its first two games it has provided pretty good performance against Croatia and Ukraine where it had some good organisational play. This factor was not present at all at today's game where Iceland had control of the game from start to the end with controlling ball for most of the time. Especially team had lost at the end of the 1st half where Iceland has found two goals back-to-back in period of the 2 minutes . In game against Ukraine, Turkey was capable of responding to this but apart of not showing any reaction there were no signs it is capable to do so. Taking account that it was one which was attacking in previous game the argument that it was due of tiredness is not that good.

Iceland carries on its impressive performance which has started during Euro 2016 qualifiers and does show that it is tough team to beat slowly becoming footballing nation backing up with great performance. It has controlled game for most of the time.

Turkish National Team still doesnt have any win so far at the World Cup Qualifiers and has does need to find win soon but from now it would play against easy teams at the group and has strong chance to do catchup.

Rizespor are interested to transfer Aatif Chahechouhue.

As the future of the Fenerbahce player Aatif Chahechouhue is unclear at his club the interest of other clubs to transfer him during mid-season transfer window is being raised. Among the new teams which are interested to transfer him is Rizespor.

Fenerbahce head coach Dick Advocaat didnt show much interest at play Aatif Chahecouhue at this season following few games including against Grasshoppers at the Europa League. Dick Advocaat, possibly quite rightly, sees Chacheouhue as an average player who is not strong enough to play at top team. To some extend, its good view and despite of fact that he is known to score high number of goals each season, he is as player doesnt seem strong enough to take pleasure of the top team. It is been rumoured that clubs like Rizespor and his old club Sivasspor are interested to transfer him, which would be more suitable for Aatif Chahechouhue to carry on his development and possibly at the future become top class player who can play at least at top Turkish clubs. Rizespor and Sivasspor would be suitable for him for sure.

Aatif Chaheuhue is a strong player who is capable to provide impressive football but as been mentioned he is not strong enough to provide top class football at the top level teams and needs to improve.

Atiba Hutchinson would focus to Besiktas rather than to national team.

Besiktas player Atiba Hutchinson has stated that he would focus more into his team and would give break to the Canadian national team from now on.

Atiba Hutchinson has stated that he is reasoning is due of low chances of Canada to get into World Cup at the Russia in two years time and would work on focussing into Besiktas season.He stated that this season is particular hard for a team and hence he needs to have some rest and provide additional trainings so he can improve at high level at his current team. Even through this statement does provide image of putting priroty to the club rather than his national team, to some extend makes him look at the things in more realistic manner as he is aware that there is more chances to provide better results at the Besiktas. This is certainly is good reason for Besiktas as it mean physically he would perform better at the upcoming Super League and Champions League games.

If this decision would have positive effect to his performance would become clear in upcoming games but this decision is surely focussed into the fact that he aims for good successes for Besiktas in this season.
