What happened in Turkish football today? 28.07.2017


Fenerbahce has shown lots of improvement with Aykut Kocaman against Sturm Graz.

Even through it could be argued that Fenerbahce is still far from its best potential performance during Europa League 3rd qualifying round 1st leg game against Sturm Graz, it still has provided lots of positive aspects during the game as it has won it with 2:1 scoreline.

It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce did start game in pretty good manner as it has also conceded goal during 10th minute but has managed to show fast comeback in 25th minutes after Neustadner goal at the corner has managed to control game for rest of the game. The team without doubt has shown much better organised game compare to friendlies which undoubtedly been by the help of Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman. In fact, this has been also visible from post-game statements from number of players who has praised Aykut Kocaman with his style of training sessions in pre-season training camp. Yesterday performance therefore did provide lots of positive views for upcoming game and is expected as team to improve upcoming season. The star of the game has been meanwhile without doubt Alper Potuk with great organised performance for most of the game.

Fenerbahce as the team with new head coach is improving currently and is expected to provided much better performance for 2nd leg game to be played in Istanbul next week.

Bekir Irtegun is taking into custody for being ByLock member.

Another footballer who has been involved with FETO organisation, who has organised 15th July attempted coup d'etat, has been taken into custody. This time it was ex-Basaksehirspor player Bekir Irtegun who has been involved with encrypted ByLock menager used by FETO.

In fact, and it was known that Basaksehirspor has terminated contract with him due of this factor of his involvement with organisation and with latest mainly ex-Galatasaray players having some connection it became clear that some number of the current players has some involvement with FETO. In fact, there is high possibility that there is number of current players who have connection with FETO and it would become clear more about them or would never set into clear. But there is cleaning against them in all sections of the Turkish society including at the football. This case and ongoing criminal case regarding attempted coup d'etat and we could see much more surprises regarding this issue.

Of course, those personalities to be inside football and other sections is dangerous for society and everyone who has some connection with those organisation should be at least questioned.

Club's Union CEO Goksel Gumusdag has been stated that he will not announce candidacy in August election.

Club's Union CEO Goksel Gumusdag has provided surprising statement today that he would not run as CEO of the organisation in upcoming election in 10th August after his successful 3 year period.

This statement with also taking account that he was provided pretty good reign at the union has been seen as surprise with Galatasaray CEO Dursun Ozbek stating he doesnt accept this decision and it would been good for Turkish football for Gumusdag to stay as CEO. This role as being representative of Super League clubs does play an important role and always had direct contact with TFF sometimes even motivating them to come with new decisions. Therefore, this decisions by Goksel Gumusdag with who Turkish football did go a little bit forward would been pretty worrying. In fact, anyone who would take his place in the future needs to be aware of difficulties and possibly statement by Dursun Ozbek has shown that worry. Meanwhile, Goksel Gumusdag has also stated that there is proposal at the table to raise teams to 21.

Goksel Gumusdag would be leaving his position as successful CEO of the Union and as been stated its important for next CEO to take similar seriousness for this post.
