What happened in Turkish football today? 20.03.2017


Vincent Aboubakar sending off is becoming habits for him.

Besiktas has failed to provide similar performance at the Super League 25th week game against Antalyaspor as it did against Olympiakos at the Europa League last 16, as it has ended game with 0:0 scoreline. Without doubt, one of the main reasons for this has been tiredness from Olympiakos game.

As been mentioned at our blog yesterday, the team especially before sending off of Vincent
Aboubakar did try to provide an attacking football and possibly get a win even through mentally and physically the team seems to be exhausted. In fact, it was lucky some to extent that Antalyaspor who did provide some attacking football in same time has shown some precaution for most part of the time which have led for  game to end with goalless draw. Meanwhile, sending off Vincent Aboubakar even through could be argued to be fair as he didnt provide any danger with raised leg towards goalkeeper of  Antalyaspor during 2nd yellow card, does show that Aboubakar being sending off as an habit for him as he also had same fate in midweek against Olympiakos. There is strong talks within the team administrators to provide him some kind of punishment, possibly monetary as his behaviour provides damage to the team.

Besiktas does show some decline of performance at the Super League which is normal as it plays at the same time at Europa League. Besiktas can make double but it would not be an easy task and very exhausting, so it is questionable if it can achieve that.

Dream for league title for Basaksehirspor still goes on.

It was certain that Basaksehirspor who are at the title race with Besiktas did come out to the game against Karabukspor as win but even through it tried their best, Karabukspor has shown also top class performance which led game to end with 3:3 scoreline.

The game has been with high tempo as Basaksehirspor tries to fight for league title race and as become later at the day has lost an opportunity to get a same amount of points with Besiktas. Stating that, still finding 3 goals against team which provides also impressive performance this season at the Super League is good sign for upcoming games, and with teams below top 2 losing points lots of occassions, it could be stated that slowly Basaksehirspor is getting to the point where it would end at least at the 2nd spot and get Champions League spot. Taking account that Besiktas might have issues at competing both at Europa League and Super League, Basaksehirspor can carry on dreaming for league title with huge possibility of achieving this difficult but doable aim.

Basaksehirspor is having a very difficult period right now where it would be seeking for getting maximum wins for last 9 games including Galatasaray and Besiktas which are coming pretty soon and those games would define how Basaksehirspor will end season.

2nd Premium Seminar has took place in Istanbul.

Even through this blog focussed into latest situation of top 2 teams at the standings, today's biggest talks at the Super League, the most talked point at today's football world in country has been 2nd Premium Seminar of football.

The focus of the meeting as in 1st seminar has been to improve Turkish football for upcoming years and find solution on how to improve it financially. Even through lots of things needs to be done, the seminar has been led from positive aspects with statements that Turkey is likely to get bid for Euro 2024 with showing that Germany has hosted previous major tournament and news from Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan of construction of new stadium at Ankara in place of 19th May Stadium. It needs to be stated that to some extend the seminar has been dominated by referandum as many attendees showed their support for change to the presidential system.

However, the seminar would provide lots of help for Turkish football with the help of attendees of foreign experts including FFP director Andrea Traverso who would show weaknesses of Turkish football financially.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan: We would demolize Ankara 19 Mayis Stadium and in its place build 35-40,000 capacity stadium.
