Turkish National Team has won comfortably against Kosovo despite of stressful situation at the team.
Following with internal issues at Turkish National Team following Arda Turan incident with journalist at the plane, it was important for players to stay focussed to very crucial game against Kosovo National Team, and the players has responded to it pretty well with winning game with comfortable scoreline of 4:1.
To all respect to the Kosovo, Turkey was coming out as strong opponent and it has proven to be one with the way it has performed at almost empty stadium in Albania. It needs to be stated that in sense of the tempo it was not really fast game and in fact Turkish National Team did have some problems until 3:1 scoreline as Kosovo did show pretty good football and resistance however taking account that Turkey does have quality players has made one of the main differences during the game. One of the important factors for the team is that all four goals has come from 4 different players, namely from Volkan Sen, Cengiz Under, Burak Yilmaz and Ozan Tufan. Another great news has been for Yusuf Yilmaz to provide his first assist at his 1st game for national team as he is being among other young players has been seen as potential future star of the Turkish football.
It needs to be stated until 3:1 scoreline, Kosovo has been inside the game providing great resistance which could be seen with fact that it has found a well-deserved goal while it was losing game 1:0. Taking account that this maximum which could be presented the team needs to be praised.
Right now Turkish National Team is taking place at the 3rd place with 11 points and with Ukraine is 2 points behind group leaders Croatia and Iceland who have played against each other today, where Iceland has won with 1:0 scoreline. Therefore this group is taking interesting and with 4 teams being strong contenders to end their group either as group winners or runners-up, which means for all this sides all of the rest 4 games are very important.
Antalyaspor has made 3-year contract deal with Eskisehirspor player Ruud Boffin.
Antalyaspor carries on to be one of the most active teams at the transfer front during an early days of the summer as it is reported that it has made 3-year contract with Eskisehirspor goalkeeper Ruud Boffin which would play an important role to make its goal line stronger.
Even through Eskisehirspor has been eliminated to the 1st league during 2 seasons before and wasnt able to reach to the Super League by losing play-off final against Goztepe, it still had one the leading goalkeepers at the Turkey. During Super League period and in several occassions at the 1st league he did provide high number of crucial and high level saves. Certainly such a great goalkeeper does deserve to compete at the Super League teams which has high aims. Therefore, transfer of the Ruud Boffin is also good news for him as it is for Antalyaspor. It would certainly mean that he would go one step higher at the team which would be aiming to fight for Europa League spot during this season. Antalyaspor as it has shown with transfer of the Menez showed everyone that it aims to create a strong side.
Certainly, with having at its disposal players such as Samuel Eto'o, Menez and Buffon it would be able to raise its aims for next season much higher and fight for top 4 position which it didnt achieve during this season as it has ended 5th position after dissapoint 1st half of the season.
Mathieu Valbuena arrives to Istanbul tomorrow.
It became clear for sure now that Olympique Lyon player Matheiu Valbuena who has made certainly a deal with Fenerbahce would be arriving tomorrow to Istanbul to have one-on-one transfer negotiations and is likely to become Fenerbahce officially with contract signed when transfer window is open.
The talks about Fenerbahce having transfer negotiations with Valbuena has been surrounding the media since the transfer season has been opened as Fenerbahce is very likely to make one of the biggest transfer deals at whole summer transfer window. Despite of his age, Mathieu Valbuena still has great speed and willingness to fight which would certainly be great bonus for Fenerbahce for next season if he would provide a top level football next season. In other words, unless there would be surprises it would be able to transfer of the most active players of this season Ligue 1 and who did show great performance against Besiktas during Europa League quarter-finals tie.
Of course, it is hard to predict how players with big name would perform as was seen several times happened at the Super League where their have shown bad performance but this time there is huge potential as Valbuena had great season and still has will to give his best football as player.
