What happened in Turkish football today? 28.08.2017


Fenerbahce win against Genclerbirligi could be turning point for them this season.

Fenerbahce was coming to the game against Genclerbirligi during Super League 3rd week game where it needed to win as it has obtained only 2 points from opening week and with taking account that it was tired both physically but even more morally it wasnt an easy win for them.

Moral aspects and pressure which players had prior to game has become their biggest enemy and created tension more than Genclerbirligi. In fact, their opponents with poor football and also recieving red cards during the game didnt provide much pressure towards Fenerbahce which did make them getting an important game. Sometimes after bad performances team needs to take a win regardless how this is gathered and this should be taken place as early as possible since bad performance has become. With only 3rd week been passed Fenerbahce is currently 4 points behind Galatasaray who  has gained 100% record so far this season and hence if Fenerbahce would be able to turn around and use this win as advantage it will be able to be at title race during this season. Stating that Fenerbahce does have many tasks to do during national team break.

As been stated best way to get into legs and start providing good results after unlucky and bad period is to win and time would show if yesterday performance would be turning point for them.

Oguzhan Ozyakup has been called to Turkish National Team for World Cup Qualifiers.

One of the interesting developments at the Turkish football world today has been calling of Besiktas player Oguzhan Ozyakup to the Turkish National Team after high criticism to the team head coach Mircea Lucescu for not selecting one of the most in-form players at this and last season.

According to rumours, surrounding this change of mind by Lucescu is realisation that he made mistake for not selecting him and has stated that he would be important for a team and would try to talk to Ozyakup to solve this misunderstanding. Oguzhan Ozyakup without doubt has been among players at the Besiktas who played an important role for back-to-back league titles and is among main stars of the team among Turkish players. Interestingly, prior to Ozyakup calling to team once again Turkish National Team assistant coach Tayfur Havutcu has stated that he wasnt selected due of tactical preferences which has been set by Lucescu so its still interesting if he would be  start in starting 11 against Ukraine on 2nd September and Croatia on 5th September during important games at World Cup Qualifiers.

It is still good for Mircea Lucescu to realise his mistake and calling Oguzhan Ozyakup to the national team until its not too late but its crucial for him not to make similar mistakes as it might affect players concentration.

Fenerbahce are close to transfer Luis Neto.

Fenerbahce are close to transfer Zenit player Luis Neto as the player would be arriving to Istanbul to have one-on-one transfer negotiations and possibly make deal as soon as tomorrow.

One of the areas as it was observed during poor start of the season by Fenerbahce has been undoubtedly defence of the team and it was obviously that it needed to have some additions to the team and it has decided to make them with Zenit player Neto which Russian team had intentions to sell. In similar manner as Giuliano, Neto is successful player but it does seem like Roberto Mancini didnt have much plans for him in this season and Fenerbahce had used this opportunity once again with rumours that it is also to loan same team player Artem Dzyuba in same time. As usual, this transfer is not finalised but if it would happen it could solve defensive issue at Fenerbahce for rest of the season.

Advantage of this transfer also would be with Neto being familiar with Giuliano and hence for both players might solve issue of adaptation to the team or at least make it easier.
