What happened in Turkish football today? 05.10.2017


Turkey option is only to win Iceland at World Cup Qualifier.

Turkish National Team would play its 2 very important games to get at least play-off round of World Cup 2018 starting against Iceland as it is also strongest opponent among their Scandinavian opponents as it needs to win those games.

It needs to be reminded that Iceland right now are 2 points ahead of Turkey which means their are in better condition since the draw could be enough for them for top 2 places while Turkey can only consider to win game. However, Iceland are aware that in games like this is always dangerous to play for 0:0 scoreline as their is risk of losing game so even through its main focus would be into defence without doubt it would also look to attacking football. And even through the most important task for Turkish National Team players for game tomorrow is to find goal and hence attackers providing top performance at the game it is also would mean in same time that it needs to be careful at the back, as it cant risk to concede. During 9th week game since Ukraine and Croatia would be playing with weaker opponents, it would mean that the result of game might also raise main questions for last week and some maths could be done but again the only result Turkey can aim is win both games.

Turkish National Team does have good advantage of playing at home against Iceland and did manage to win them in similar condition during Euro 2016 qualifiers last game so their can repeat history once again.

Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Alanyaspor player Vagner Love.

Even through until mid-transfer window there is still just a bit less than 3 months left, with national team break their been arleady started transfer rumours around football media in the country. And among them one of the interesting ones are Fenerbahce being interested with Alanyaspor player Vagner Love.

Fenerbahce attackers so far are showing pretty poor performance at the league with only Vincent Janssen so far being close to satisfy expectation from club head coach Aykut Kocaman,administrators and supporters. Therefore, its normal to now focus into possible strengthing with forward section of the field and main interests to be with goal scorer of last season Vagner Love who have also scored 7 goals this season so far. However, Alanyaspor has stated several times that Love is the most important player for them which alone to some extend pushes forward team and hence it would be very hard for Fenerbahce to purchase him especially with their current performance as it does look tough for team to get league title at least this season.

Meanwhile, Vagner Love contract with Alanyaspor lasts until 2020 which without doubt is another issue with Fenerbahce to make this transfer hard to come into reality.

Galatasaray aims for 100% record for next 4 games.

Galatasaray head coach Igor Tudor is reported to set a goal for next 4 games as 12 points which once again show his aim to enter to mid-season break in winter without losing any games and to motivate players has stated to players that their would get extra 2 days off break in November, which would be in total of 4 days.

Galatasaray in this period would play against Konyaspor, Fenerbahce, Trabzonspor and Genclerbirligi until next national team break to take place in November. This period without doubt would be toughest for Galatasaray as so far their had used this fixture advantage into their hand with 5 point advantage over 2nd placed Besiktas and Kayserispor. This slot of games for Galatasaray would be most important for them as their would be aiming to 100% win and hence get even much more closer for the league title as this period in the fixture could be seen as most difficult. However, this national team break to some extend did come in wrong time as their would wish to continue high level performance for upcoming performance.

Galatasaray does come out to an important period if their want league title for the end of the season and hence Igor Tudor wants full focus from his players for those games.
