Cenk Tosun early goals has led Turkey to get a comfortable win against Finland.
Two early goals scored by Cenk Tosun during World Cup Qualifier Group I 5th week game against Finnish National Team has led for Turkish National Team to get an comfortable win at must-win game for Turkey to still has some chances to end at top 2 places at the qualifying group.
From the game it became visible that Turkish National Team aim was to get two early goals against Finland which are known to show good defence and then control game discipline as was observed at previous games. Taking account of style of Finland and teams like that this was smartest tactic by Fatih Terim and it has perfectly come to reality with Cenk Tosun two goals scored during 9th and 13th minute. It could been argued that Turkey has after 2nd goal has reduced tempo a lot however with taking account that Finland was not providing very good attacking football the tactic to be working until last whistle. Of course, looking at performance Turkish National Team didnt provide its best football and needs lots of areas to improve for upcoming games at this qualifying stages especially against Croatia, Ukraine,and Iceland but it got result which it was seeking for. Meanwhile, Cenk Tosun carries on his great performance which he has shown at the Besiktas and certainly has become key player of the Turkish national team at the game today, while other players did fail a bit in individual aspects.
Finnish National Team has been focussed as been stated prior to team has been focussed into defensive and stopping of Turkish attacks but conceding too early goals has spoilt all of their plans and it has led them to risk football due of scoreline at the 2nd half as it wanted at least to show good performance. Finland did provide good performance but didnt threat much Turkey at this game.
Following the game Turkey has get an important win and would now look forward to the Kosovo game during 6th week on 11th June and the win at that game would allow them to get into the area of qualification and Turkey for World Cup 2018.
UEFA has given 3-game ban to Besiktas player Vincent Aboubakar at European competitions.
UEFA has announced long-awaited ban to the Besiktas player Vincent Aboubakar following Europa League last 16 2nd leg game against Olympiakos for the needless red card which he has recieved during 2nd half. UEFA has provided ban for 3 games which means that he will not be able to compete at upcoming European competition games.
In other words, Vincent Aboubakar will not be able to help Besiktas at the upcoming quarter-final game against Olympique Lyon both games and also if it manages to pass French side he will not be able to play for 1st leg game during semi-final. Sadly for Aboubakar and nature of that red card, and also taking account that he is being at good form recently, the following news would be bad news for Besiktas and it would be expected that if Besiktas didnt manage to get through Lyon at the quarter-final he would recieve lots of blame. Aboubakar apart of providing needless sending off in recent games, has also improved with his performance and in all fairness has played an important role for Besiktas to be at the quarter-final with two goals scored to Olympiakos in previous round.
As been mentioned before, this development would also led Besiktas to not wanting him to stay at the team for upcoming season and as Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman has informed to Aboubakar that he needs to provide a performance which would lead team to forgive him or otherwise it will not purchase him from Porto from where is loaned right now.
Manchester United are interested to transfer Trabzonspor player Yusuf Yazici.
Due of national team break and not much activity at the clubs, Turkish media as usual start focussing into early transfer rumours which could be dominating this summer or might not even happen. One of those eye-catching rumours is that Manchester United has joined PSV Eindhoven in its interest to transfer Trabzonspor player Yusuf Yazici.
It is known by Turkish football followers that Trabzonspor has provided big U-Turn at its performance compare to the 2016 in this year and one of the key reasons for this to happen has been a performance by Yusuf Yazici so it should be treated pretty normal of this rumour. Even through Manchester United rumour might be too overacting, PSV Eindhoven and other European clubs could easily get big interest with Yazici and taking account that Trabzonspor still has chance to get to the Europa League spot in the end of the season, his performance there if he stays after summer would turn even more heads. It is unlikely that Trabzonspor would consider selling him as he plays big role for creating team which will fight for title next season but again it is unlikely to decline an offer with high fee.
Yusuf Yazici has been among stars of whole league during 2nd half of the season and if he carries on this performance, some more interesting aspects of his transfer rumours will take place in near future.
