Performance of Basaksehirspor against Galatasaray will set mood of the game.
This weekend will be taking place of the Turkish Cup last 16 games which includes pretty exciting 8 games with 1-game elimination form or in other words "lose and out". One of the most exciting games of this last 16 will be between Basaksehirspor and Galatasaray among the main derby game.
The game would be played between 2nd and 3rd placed at the Super League which are providing a very good performance at this season and in fact with taking account how Basaksehirspor performs some people are actually seeing them more favourite to win the game. Even through Basaksehirspor did get a win against them at the league and also at the Turk Telekom Arena it needs to be stated Galatasaray has won Turkish Cup last 3 seasons and does take this tournament in very serious manner. It would be played as Istanbul derby game and if Basaksehirspor will be able to play its best performance it could end up being a memorable game. In other words, it does seem that matter of the game and its development would be regarding of performance of the Basaksehirspor as it is clear more or less how Galatasaray will perform at the night.
With game to be played with 1 leg provides an exciting to the supporters who are awaiting for tomorrow game and even through at form Basaksehirspor is slightly better, Galatasaray is having good games lately and hence its hard to call, almost like its Turkish Cup final game.
Hakan Calhanoglu has recieved 4-month ban from football and will pay compensation to Trabzonspor.
One of the most shocking even through in same time expected development has taken place regarding of issue between Bayer Leverkusen player Hakan Calhanoglu who has recieved 4-month ban and 100,000 euro compensation payment to Trabzonspor for not keeping his signature towards Turkish club.
Back in 2012, Hakan Calhanoglu was misled from his father who according to player has come to him when he was only 17-year old and told him to sign contract of Trabzonspor which was seen as final agreement. However, this transfer didnt happen as he has stayed with Karsluhe back then and didnt come to the side. As would be expected, Trabzonspor has complained to FIFA which has given 4-month ban while CAS has added 100,000 euro compensation. It needs to be stated that it wasnt fault for Calhanoglu but quite naturally he needed to pay price for this mistake done by him and his father, and as would be expected he stated yesterday that he will have good relations with father but will not allow him to be involved with football career.
This decision means that Hakan Calhanoglu will not be able to be selected to the Turkish National Team also at the game against Finland during World Cup 2018 qualifier. This is a tough fine but you need to pay for your mistakes.
Lukas Podolski would move to Vissei Kobe in summer.
It became clear that Galatasaray negotiations with Japanese team Vissei Kobe regarding of transfer of Lukas Podolski has been made with special agreement with sides and player.
It was known that Kobe were interested to transfer Lukas Podolski during this mid-season transfer window and technically still can since in Japan transfer window closes at the end of month but it was decided that Podolski will stay until end of the season. According to Turkish media, with Lukas Podolski showing good will and motivation to perform well at the team it came decision to keep him until end of the season. This decision was in informed to Kobe who made an agreement to wait until summer and later will be transferred to the in summer transfer window for 5 million euro. With Kobe showing an understanding and also being sure that Podolski would join them made that deal.
This development also means that Podolski will stay at the team and with him continuing his recent performance could help for Galatasaray to fight for league title until last week as he would be big help to Istanbul side.
