What happened in Turkish football today?
Turkey is expected to get very confident win against Kosovo during World Cup Qualifier.
Turkish National Team will play very important game at the World Cup 2018 Qualifier game at the Group I against weakest team at the group Kosovo and is only aim for this game is to win the game and get once again some small control to its hands for its destiny at the group.
Following first 3 games at the group against Croatia, Ukraine and Iceland, Turkish National Team has obtained only 2 points and right now did get an advantage situation at the group as it didnt get a single win against its main opponents. Right now Turkey needs to focus mainly to obtain 6 points from upcoming two games against Kosovo and Finland who it will play against next year to get once again into position of getting some hope for qualifiying from the group. The fact that key players has been called once against by Turkish head coach Fatih Terim, namely Burak Yilmaz and Arda Turan would surely allow Turkish National Team to dominate the game and improve its performance compare to previous 3 games. According to reports from trainings, there is talks that Turkey would control ball and dont allow its opponents to have any chance to create their own chances. This is normal tactics as Turkish National Team to all respect to Kosovo is expected to dominate game.
Kosovo National Team has played its first friendly game ever against Turkey last year where Turkey has won with 6:1 scoreline and similar outcome is expected from Turkey at the game tomorrow.
Fenerbahce player Jeremain Lens will not be able to play for 2.5-3 weeks.
It became reported today that Fenerbahce player Jeremain Lens, who has become injured during friendly game against Belgium will not be able to play for around 2.5-3 weeks and would surely now miss Super League 11th week game against Galatasaray on 20th November.
This news is a big blow for Fenerbahce just before such an important game right now against its big rivals as Lens performance at the team has also been reflected to the team performance during this season. Fenerbahce didnt lose any single game so far while Jeremain Lens has been selected to the squad as he had affected game by scoring , asissting and generally affecting positively in attacking midfield with starting number of successful attacks. The fact he will not be able to play during big derby could provide motivation to Galatasaray however alternative players should be able to fulfill his role especially with the fact of atmosphere of playing at home and importance of the game and it would become clear on the day how Fenerbahce will perform.
It needs to be stated that Jeremain Lens would surely affect team but it doesnt mean Fenerbahce will not be able to win Galatasaray as their showing visible improvement at performance generally in last weeks of the league.
Number of top clubs are interested with Besiktas player Tolgay Arslan.
One of the talked players during this season so far has been Besiktas player Tolgay Arslan who has shown great improvement compare to last season and has got into radar into number of top teams around Europe for mid-season transfer.
However, it needs to be stated that Besiktas has no intention to let go one of the key players of this season success and is willing to extend his contract during midseason period and raise his salary to 2 million euro. There are reports from transfer front meanwhile that clubs like Napoli and Manchester United are showing interest towards Tolgay Arslan and it does look like he would be one of the most talked players at transfer front in winter but there is still time until that. Tolgay Arslan has stated himself that he is aware of those offers but its too early and he aims to focus into the Super League rather than in those rumours and added that is his manager is currently treating in that manner.
If Tolgay Arslan will carry on this performance during Super League and more importantly at the Champions League he might start recieving pretty mouth-watering offers this winter but it is unclear how Besiktas would react to them when it happens.
