Besiktas needs to show good defensive football against Olympique Lyon.
Long-awaited 2nd leg of the Europa League quarter-final game between Besiktas and Olympique Lyon would finally take place as Turkish side would aim to turn around 2:1 loss it got from 1st leg and get to the semi-final of the competition.
It needs to be stated, as been stated numerous times at our blog and also across Europe by media, that Besiktas would have strong advantage as stadium would be filled with Besiktas supportes as Olympique Lyon has made its final decision not to include its fans for the game tomorrow. The scoreline of 1:0 due of away goal could be enough for Besiktas but its needs to learn an important lesson from 1st leg and stay focussed during whole game as it is important to provide strong defence until end of the game as scoring goal will not be enough. One of the main advantage for Besiktas has been seen for not playing this weekend due of constitution referandum, but since due of fights with Bastia supporters Lyon didnt also play 2nd half so this issue of fresh is also out of question. Good news meanwhile for Besiktas is certainly of return of Ricardo Quaresma after he has recovered from injury.
Key of the game is important to stay focussed into defence even more important at attack, as Besiktas is capable to score against team who has issues at the back with fast football.
Trabzonspor CEO Muharrem Usta has stated that contract with Mehmet Ekici has been ended.
Trabzonspor CEO Muharrem Usta with his meeting with Turkish media had stated that the club has ended certainly contract with its player Mehmet Ekici and wishes his best for upcoming season.
It became clear that Mehmet Ekici will not stay at the team since winter transfer window as
Fenerbahce was very close to transfer him but due of not coming to the agreement between both sides due of exchange player it didnt happen. With taking account that Ekici has certainly decided to play for Fenerbahce and was focussed on that he was taken away from squad until end of the season. It needs to be stated that it was bad news for both sides for Mehmet Ekici not playing right now, but it was fault of the Ekici due of his statements at moving to Fenerbahce before joining them.
Ekici did have good spell at Trabzonspor and it is sad that he will be leaving club in such manner but he needs to stay focussed and aim to be successfull for Fenerbahce when he moves there in summer.
Arsenal has agreed with Barcelona for transfer of Arda Turan.
According to news reports, its been stated that Arsenal has made transfer deal with Barcelona player Arda Turan for 30 million euro and he would be moving in summer.
Arda Turan is among players at the world which many clubs would like to see at their squad and like him or not he is currently best player in the Turkey. Arsenal has shown an interest towards him for long time and it was willing to give him any price to purchase him and as it seems the both sides has agreed for transfer of 30 million euro. It needs to be reminded that this is only rumour for now and its not finalised but it can become really this summer even through Arda Turan has always stated that he would like to stay at the Barcelona.
To some extend Arda Turan needs Barcelona to develop and become even better player but it is questionable if Barcelona needs him, however Arsenal would need him more so we see how this stories develops at summer transfer window.
