What happened in Turkish football today? 05.08.2017


Besiktas does come out as strong favourites to win Super Cup

Turkish football season will be starting with Super Cup game between Super League winners Besiktas and Turkish Cup holders Konyaspor at the game where Istanbul side would come out as favourite but would still be promising to be an exciting game between two sides.

As been mentioned, Besiktas will very effective transfers during this summer transfer window would come out as strong favourites against Konyaspor as  newly-signed player Alvaro Negredo would also expected to be playing during 2nd half of the game according to situation of the game. As it is known, Besiktas would come out as strong favourites to the game and as the team aims to win league title 3rd time in row and show strong performance at the Champions League, it would also aim to show top performance at the game tomorrow against Konyaspor. Only downside for Besiktas is the factor that Talisca will not play due of not recieving licence data from Benfica.

Therefore, it does seem that Besiktas are coming as favourites and hence would be aiming to show top class performance at the game tomorrow.

Konyaspor would enter to new era after Aykut Kocaman left team.

Stating that, this one-off game and as been known this kind of games especially taking account that both teams are not at their best conditionally following summer break it is always open for surprises and hence Konyaspor does have chance to make surprising result.

Konyaspor meanwhile has been a team to qualify to the Super Cup by winning Turkish Cup and hence becoming first team outside of top 3 who has managed that in recent past and would hence aim to provide a very interesting performance at the Super Cup game. Of course, one of the main reasons of this good performance in past 2 seasons by Konyaspor has been shown by head coach Aykut Kocaman, who has now moved to Fenerbahce. Therefore, it would be also interesting to see how Konyaspor would perform without Kocaman as the team has entered to the new period of its history and time would show how team would perform. One of the best tests for a team of course would be game against Besiktas.

Therefore, this game in sense of Konyaspor even through it is open to make surprise against Besiktas would even more be crucial to see how team would perform at its new era and new head coach.

Fernando would help Galatasaray to become better squad for next season. 

In transfer front, Manchester City player Fernando has officially signed 3- year contract with Galatasaray and during today's press conference has stated that he has chosen this team due of its
having big aims.

Even through Galatasaray has surprisingly been eliminated from Europa League it is still manages to bring eye-catching transfers with latest of them being Fernando and hence making their squad stronger for next season. Fernando even through could not be referred as much as world-class player is strong enough to become one of the key performance both at Galatasaray and also at whole Super League in upcoming season as the player has signed 3-year contract with the team. He would be able to solve lots of issue at the midfielder and starting potential good attacks as the game progressed.

Galatasaray did become stronger and would now aim to transfer Sofiane Feghouli from West Ham United as it has been one of the main aims for transfer by team during this summer transfer window.
