What happened in Turkish football today? 01/03/2018


Besiktas and Fenerbahce game has been played at high tension and dominated with needless cards.

Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game between Besiktas and Fenerbahce has been played with high tension game with much more unpredictness compare to Super League which has ended with 2:2 scoreline with cards has been talked among the field.

Fenerbahce it needs to be stated has been able to solve among not being able to control its mental aspects actually has provided much better focus and tactically game compare to Super League game and it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman has changed his main mistakes compare to previous game where role of different squad which included Soldado has provided much better game. To some extend, compare to the league game Fenerbahce has treated game as Turkish Cup 2-legged game as it has seeked to get an advantage scoreline which it has managed to do including finding 2nd goal with also taking account that it has played with one less player at that time. Coming to the cards it was totally needless both from Alper Potuk and Volkan Demirel making mistakes from nervous behaviour. It is questionable how game would affect to Super League 24th week game against Akhisarspor from this tiredness though.

Coming to the Besiktas player Ricardo Quaresma red card, it was total needless as it has provided from aggressive movement and has got total needless card and would be accepted to get an extra ban and fine likely for post card reaction. Coming to game it will not be right to state that it has shown much worser game but compare to league game it didnt dominate game from start to an end. It was expected that Besiktas would provide its dominance also from previous game and it did start in such a way. To some extend, we could state that even through this is good squad it is not as strong compare to previous game at the attacking front. To some extend, this high confidence from Fenerbahce league game could also affect negatively to the Besiktas as their has speaking  too confident about today's game which can do damage.

Fenerbahce after this 1st leg has provided an important advantage for 2nd leg with firstly getting 2 away goals and also having advantage to play at home ground. Right now, both teams would have league games this weekend which could be very hard for them without doubt after such intensive game.

Arbitration Court has reduced ban of Fernandao from 2-game to 1 game.

Turkish Football Federation Arbitration Court has reduced Fenerbahce player Fernandao over-exerated celebration after scoring against Besiktas at the Super League from 2-game to the 1 game.

It needs to be noted that the ban which was given yesterday which has been only approved with 1-vote difference for to be provided did provide some strong hands in the defence of Fenerbahce as it could state that with this taking account of undecidefulness 2 game could be a harsh decision therefore. Also it needs to be remembered that in previous cases which includes Galatasaray ex- player Felipe Melo decision has been also reduced. Hence, taking this account Fenerbahce has provided this points to the Arbitration Court and this has been accepted from the court and has led for decline of the ban. Coming to the ban itself it could been that this celebration has been done over-exerated manner and hence led for Besiktas supporters to show strong reaction but again with this factor of being undecided by PFDK it was correct decision to reduce this ban.

This decision would now mean that Fernandao has went through this ban during today's game against Besiktas and would be able to play against Akhisarspor during Super League 24th week.

Benfica has extended contract with Anderson Talisca. 

According to Portguese media reports Benfica has extended contract with its player Anderson Talisca which means that he would be staying at team until 2020 and does reduce chances of plans to transfer him as he is loaned there.

Again it needs to be reminded that Anderson Talisca does want to stay at Besiktas as he has stated that both in Turkish and Portuguese media and also informed to both clubs but sadly for him and Besiktas according to contract Benfica had full control of it. However, Talisca can make it clear to Portuguese club, as long as their would aim to transfer him in summer transfer window, to push them to make deal with Besiktas without providing too much issues at the deal. This factor of course would play crucial role but also the way Benfica would treat issue and how long wants to keep Talisca. Benfica naturally doesnt want to lose its player who is in great form right now and either would keep him at squad or sell for good price which is unclear if Besiktas can provide.

This extension does put Besiktas chances to transfer Talisca more harder position but it is still not impossible and time would show how Besiktas would use tactics and if it work.
