What happened in Turkish football today? 15/02/2018


Konyaspor can provide surprise to Besiktas due of some circumstances.

Besiktas would have its last game prior to very important Champions League last 16 game against Bayern Munich as it would be meeting against Konyaspor during Super League 22nd week game where it would be able to test its strength and condition prior to such difficult game.

Besiktas as would be remembered during this season didnt manage to get good results on Fridays during this season especially with being case prior to Champions League game and taking account that Konyaspor are struggling, Besiktas players might be focussed mentally into Bayern Munich and rather than choosing games are very likely that their minds would be on that game. It needs to be noted however with Konyaspor getting some effective transfers during their mid-season period their are not an easy opponent as their were during 1st half as their had proven during game against Basaksehirspor. Now with some this circumstances present Konyaspor could be coming out to the game with slight advantage and their are aware of that.Therefore, even through Besiktas are coming out as favourites their are some factors which could turn into difficult game for them.

Besiktas without doubt would aim to win this game and get high confidence, motivation and possibly send message to German giants before game but is team capable to do that mentally would become clear.

Ali Koc candidacy for Fenerbahce is getting stronger day-by -day

During late-night, as yesterday entry was getting published, 8 of the Fenerbahce Istanbul regional representatives of the team has stated that their are going for resignation and are supporting CEO candidate Ali Koc believing that Aziz Yildirim duration is over.

Meanwhile, Aziz Yildirim is celebrating 20-years of his reign at the team and looking retrospectivelly it needs to be stated that team has achieved high successes during this period. Winning 4 league titles, getting to quarter-final of Champions League, semi-final of Europa League and has raised volleyball and basketball sections of the club from 1stly making them strongest in Turkey and then among strongest in Europe. Without doubt his reign would be remembered with match-fixing accusations, court case and aftermath of this issue. However, everything needs a change and new blood and Ali Koc, member of one of the strongest business giants, Koc family (among known firms being Beko) has put his candidate. Ali Koc has been seen for long time as main candidate and has raised his popularity during match-fixing stage, in fact some time ago Aziz Yildirim has stated himself to see him as his successor one day.

Therefore, it does look the fight between Ali Koc and Aziz Yildirim would be taking place in June election but Ali Koc right now does seem to gaining an important position to make himself favourite.

Ricardo Quaresma has send complaint to FIFA about 350,000 euro disciplinary fines he recieved from Besiktas. 

Returning to Besiktas it has become clear today that its player Ricardo Quaresma would be sending complaint towards FIFA for 350,000 euro disciplinary fine which he has recieved from his team for undisciplinary actions.

During his period at Besiktas for 2,5 years, Ricardo Quaresma has recieved some number of yellow and red cards and also has shown some unsportive actions when being substituted which been mentioned for many times as actions for disrespect. As all clubs, and also following contract, Besiktas has provided them fines for all this which has summoned up to 350,000 euro. Now, as Besiktas has made statement themselves every player has legal right to send complaint to FIFA for cancellation of such fines. Stating that their is no crises at team with player, their cant stop this democratic right from player but can and would provide their defence. Without doubt Besiktas has been unhappy for such action but it would not be right to call this as big transfer between trouble.

Coming to case itself, the time would show if Quaresma would win case but it needs to be stated that it wont be easy as it was visible that Quaresma hasnt always been disciplinary way at his best.
