What happened in Turkish football today? 19/12/2017


Fenerbahce is just 1 point behind league leaders.

Fenerbahce has managed to win its 5th game back to back at the Super League this time beating last-placed Karabukspor with 2:0 scoreline even through it didnt manage to provide their best performance with possibly taking opponent too lightly especially during 1st half.

In fact, Fenerbahce has failed to get control of the game for entire 1st half of the game without not only being able to create dangerous chances but even not being able to provide any effective few passes. It was visible that Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman needs to do some important changes during half-time and he has done them with substitution of Sener Ozbayrakli and Mathieu Valbuena. With Valbuena entering to the field the game has changed with not only him providing great assist to Mehmet Topal and scoring 2nd goal but also raising tempo in overall of the game and helping Fenerbahce to reduce point difference to 1 point against Basaksehirspor with 1 week left until mid-season break.

Fenerbahce didnt provide a great game but it did manage to get an important win without conceding at home which is rarity during this season.

Dursun Ozbek gives reasons for an early election.

Galatasaray situation both with Igor Tudor resignation and even more for calling an early election either 13 or 20 January next year has created an internal issue with some administrators and opposition being worried that this an attempt for Dursun Ozbek to make his reign stronger.

In fact during today's press conference Dursun Ozbek sounded pretty sure that he would be one who would win election stating that the reason for this is to renew his administration and also fill vacuum which has been left by administrators who have resigned previously from their posts. He does state that he is willing to to accept some of the opposition and does stated that to call an early notice election is not too early and high amount of personalities were arleady preparing themselves for this election and will not have issue to put their candidacy and administration team. He also underlined that rumours of appointment of Fatih Terim who he is respecting does damage both to club and to Terim. Meanwhile, their are arleady two candidates who would posting their opposition to Dursun Ozbek who are Turgay Kiran and  Adnan Ozturk who expects to announce his candidacy. Both has played important at administrative part of team before-hand.

Therefore, it does look like interesting things are happening at team on those days and lets see what kind of changes would happen at the team in near future.

Crystal Palace has offered 20 million euro for Besiktas player Cenk Tosun.

Crystal Palace has provided 20 million transfer offer to Besiktas player Cenk Tosun hence also showing how serious their approaching for this transfer to take place during this period.

Despite of this eye-watering transfer offer, it is still expected for Besiktas to decline this transfer offer as among expecting high transfer offer it would also demand to sell him, if it would to a team which would also be able to provide high level performance, likely at the level of Champions League. To all respect to Palace, it is obviously that their dont fill this criteria at all even through their did provide 20 million euro offer which has been set as minimum to sell Cenk Tosun by Besiktas. With winter transfer window getting closer it is clear that offers towards Tosun would be more and values will be higher. In addition, it is also important if Tosun would like to move to Crystal Palace and its likely for him also to see Besiktas as better option.

For now Besiktas makes it clear of it not wanting to sell him but time would show what kind decision their make in January.
