What happened in Turkish football today? 09/03/2018


Besiktas would have tough time against in-form Genclerbirligi

Besiktas would be meeting with Genclerbirligi during Super League 25th week game after having 1st time during almost for month to be able to prepare for game for 1 week. Even through Besiktas are coming out to the game as favourite their task is not very easy.

Apart of losing to Bayern Munich with 5:0 scoreline, it needs to be noted that this period for Besiktas has not been very bad at domestic front as it has found itself right back into the title race. With this taking account  and also losing number of players like Ricardo Quaresma due of ban and also Pepe who is injured it was able to provide top level performance and hence would be coming out as strong favourite against Genclerbirligi. However, their opponents during this calendar year only has lost 1-game against Alanyaspor in last week and has drawn with Fenerbahce. However, Genclerbirligi without doubt would be coming out with an aim to win and provide some tough period for their opponent. Therefore, it wont be an easy task for Istanbul side even through their do have motivation from recent results and finding once again at title race.

Besiktas still needs to provide top level performance and stay focussed for the game if it wants to get win as everygame right now is crucial in this title race.

Toronto are interested to transfer Mathieu Valbuena.

It became clear that Toronto are interested to transfer Fenerbahce player Mathieu Valbuena and it is unclear what reaction would be given by player as he doesnt recieve high number of playing time and as all players he would like to play.

Mathieu Valbuena has been transferred as one of the important players to the team by Aykut Kocaman and with current squad was seen main star of the team and taking account that he did perform well he didnt been selected by Kocaman himself. One of his only problem has been to keep ball too long at his feet which is also seen as one of the main reasons for him not recieving playing time. Taking that in account he still did great things as he created chances and raised tempo. It is unclear if Valbuena would still like to leave as their are reports that he did recieve higher transfer offers from Chinese but has declined them but after mid-season he didnt recieve much time and hence he could change his mind right now easily.Fenerbahce does need player like Valbuena but not playing him it would run risk for losing among its main players due of their own actions.

Mathieu Valbuena without doubt would go through this aspects in his career and his decision could play an important role for his future at club and in general.

Cengiz Under has been selected as best player of the February by Roma.  

Roma has selected its player Cengiz Under as player of the month for the February as he has scored 6 goals and 1 assist and provided as present car which was provided from club sponsors. With this development Under once again has shown to be great player not in Turkey but around world.

By each day of 2018, Cengiz Under continues to take all of the focus towards himself with his performance and showing that he is fully adapted to the team and Serie A. Turkish media even refers him as Turk who takes front page of newspapers as much as Italian, stating that he became their star and respected player. Even through number of Turkish players did show great performance around Europe such as without dount Arda Turan,  Emre Belozoglu and Blackburn Rovers legend Tugay Kerimoglu. Cengiz Under has all chances to become a legend at Europe as much as those players and taking his young age he would develop even more. Its not easy to become star in Italy as would Okan Buruk among other players state so without doubt Cengiz Under and also Hakan Calhanoglu is doing great job. In fact, Cengiz Under and Altinordu among Basaksehirspor did great job as Calhanoglu has been prepared in German system which helped him a lot.

If Cengiz Under would carry on this performance he could easily become one of the best players of Serie A during this season and in future.
