What happened in Turkish football today? 15/03/2018


Besiktas needs to be proud and also take lessons from this season Champions League campaign.

It is important to note here that overall performance of the Besiktas during this season Champions League and 8:1 aggregate scoreline recieved during last 16 against Bayern Munich should be treated differently and later should not provide an image of team performance.

Once again it is crucial to remind that at the group which included RB Leipzig, Monaco and Porto, Besiktas has managed to end group as leaders and due of unluck from draw for last 16 it did recieve a tough opponent despite of great performance at group stage. Without doubt the whole team has recieved great experience from this season performance at the tournament. It needs to be noted during yesterday's game it also show has some moments good performance but again taking account of Bayern Munich relaxation and at moments losing concentration of the game due of overall scoreline it is hard to put them into reference. Besiktas as expected might be not strong enough to get into latter stages of the tournament but it did show that it is capable to get to the knockout stages at regular cases as long as team continues to be organised in similar manner and stay focussed for good football.

Besiktas has gained great experience and performance during this season Champions League campaign and hence should be satisfied with its performance but of course aim for improvement as team for upcoming years.

Besiktas has been referred to UEFA Disciplinary Committee following Bayern Munich game

Following Champions League last 16 2nd leg game against Bayern Munich, Besiktas has recieved unawaited and shocking decision from UEFA to refer them towards disciplinary committee for misorganisation of event due of cat entering to the field and also throwing items towards field from fans.

Even through the cats incident has been visible for everyone during TV coverage as referee of the has stopped game for 1 minute waiting for cat to leave the field and is justifiable as the entrance could been prevented from stadium workers, accusation of throwing items incident is not clear when took place. This blog doesnt state that UEFA has created an event which never tooked place but there is no specific record both in video and photography showing fans throwing item at the field. Meanwhile, if UEFA would find case of this items to be thrown at the field its ban of 1 year not attending to Europe with 2 year delay could go into effect from UEFA when decision is planned to be announced on 31st May. Hence, Besiktas might might some period of 1 and half month wiht UEFA regarding this issue.

It does seem that UEFA would provide fine towards Besiktas for cat incident but throwing items to the field needs to be explained more to understand seriousness of the issue.

Cenk Ergun was sacked with argument with Abdurrahim Albayrak. 

It became clear that reason for sacking of Cenk Ergun from Galatasaray sports director has been mainly due of misunderstanding with Abdurrahim Albayrak as their were comments about salaries and transfer fees for the players.

It needs to be noted that this are only rumours and it is unclear how is this case true but it is believed that incident for Sofiane Feghouli transfer fee and also section of the contracts which has raised tension between two sides. As Cenk Ergun, has responded to Albayrak statement in angry manner also criticising him during his previous work as an administrator has went for Albayrak to complain Mustafa Cengiz and also for him to be resigned. If that is case, it could be understood for his sacking even through this kind of misunderstanding does take place and it could be solved in more organised manner. In either way, Cenk Ergun was appointed from previous administration and their was expectation with current administration as it seems to be case so it is unexpected in sense that Cenk Ergun was good at his job to some extend but with new administration joining to team this could be expected.

Their were rumours that Bursaspor was interested to appoint Cenk Ergun as sports director but their was no followup to story so it does look he is now free and might return to his old team in the future.
