What happened in Turkish football today? 01/01/2018


Fatih Terim psychology has affected negatively to Turkish National Team performance in 2017.

One of the most talked personalities of 2017 at Turkish society without doubt has been Fatih Terim with his scandals at Turkish National Team and also his talks at joining to Galatasaray and eventually joining Istanbul giants few weeks ago.

Since Euro2016 Turkish National Team has been going through very difficult time especially at psychological matter and this has been become specificially clear during World Cup 2018 qualifiers including Arda Turan beating up journalist due of ongoing bonus fight team had at Euro 2016, fight at Alacati at the restaurant has been his highest highlights of the year. In fact, same media which has called him to become Galatasaray head coach has provided lots of criticism towards him back during this period stating that he did harm to the national team due of this condition. It does need to state that what Mircea Lucescu needs to focus now is to make into togetherness once again to the national team which he is certainly working at and move towards team for Nations League as stronger side.

Fatih Terim meanwhile will be writing new beginning at the Galatasaray once again trying to prove that he is legendary head coach and with no reason is referred as Emperor.

One of the biggest news has been Galatasaray terminating contract with Wesley Sneijder and Sabri Sarioglu.

One of the most talked points of 2017 at Turkish football has been about decision of Galatasaray head coach Igor Tudor sending away one of the key players at the team Wesley Sneijder and Sabri Sarioglu during mid-season transfer window.

While looking for reasons of poor failure during 2016-17 season, Igor Tudor has found main reasons at the team at the performance of number of players who didnt give their best and despite of popularity with club supporters has decided to terminate contracts with its players Wesley Sneijder and Sabri Sarioglu. Their have many talks about Wesley Sneijder not always giving his best performance but when he did provide all of the best it needs to be admitted that the team did show great performance including number of important goals against Fenerbahce and also historical goal against Juventus at Champions League. But right now Snejder is having very bad season in Nice.
Selling of Sabri Sarioglu transfer to Goztepe without doubt has been among most tragic as Sabri did want to end his career at the team he was playing since academy and was even considering to end his career after termination of contract. Right now he does show great performance at Goztepe.

It needs to state however that players who Galatasaray has bought instead during summer transfer window were able to fill those players spaces still.

Aykut Kocaman knew that Fenerbahce would be entering to 2018 as title contenders.  

Main guote of the year has been given by Aykut Kocaman who has referred to 8 point difference between his club and Galatasaray as artificial and has done some catch-up proving himself to be right with following observation.

As Fenerbahce has started current season in very poor performance and Galatasaray starting in dream way, Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman has stated that fixture will be turning around as Galatasaray would start playing with strong teams and their would meet with stronger ones. At first he was half-right as Galatasaray start losing points and later he started gaining points as right now point difference is 2 points against Galatasaray and would been even same if he has managed to win Konyaspor at the last week. Without doubt right now, Kocaman would be focussing to carry on this momentum he has gained and would now look forward for Galatasaray to lose points as title race would get into exciting sphere during this season.

Fenerbahce did show great come back but would be able to carry on this performance in 2018 would be seen from actions done by Aykut Kocaman.
