What happened in Turkish football today? 20/03/2018


Electronic tickets would be sold during Turkish Cup final.

Passolig administration has announced that Turkish Cup final which would be taking place on 9th May at Diyarbakir and would be 1st game at the tournament where the tickets would be purchased while electronic system which company provides.

With their being pretty high chance for Turkish Cup final to be taking place as Istanbul derby on 9th May, as final finalists would become clear following semi-final 2nd leg stage taking place earlier on April, this decision could still lead to sold-out stadium even through would make number of the fans unhappy. Stating that this decision could be led for recent hooliganism events which seems to be taking place at the Turkish Cup games with one of the most memorable being last season final game between Basaksehirspor and Konyaspor. Taking account that it would be taking place at heavily populated Kurdish area and also on-going Afrin Operation there is risk of some events taking place which certainly played most important role to make this decision for tickets. Again, this decision could have some negative consequences for amount of tickets sold but if Galatasaray manages to get to the final where it would rather meet with Besiktas or Fenerbahce it would be able to fill the stadium.

Therefore, the stadium would be able to be filled but if it manages to do that and would be reactions by fans would become clear on 9th May.

Ali Koc popularity and activety this period makes current Fenerbahce administration unhappy.

Even through CEO election of the Fenerbahce would be taking place on early June the excitement between Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim and especially from Ali Koc has been taking place with supporters taking their sides during the game.

The fact that Ali Koc is being pretty active right now during CEO election process does make some Fenerbahce current administrators to be unhappy as he seems to be recieving strong support from supporters which becomes clear from reaction of fans during home games. Fenerbahce CEO Aziz Yildirim does stated that Ali Koc does show some division at the team which is problematic at this crucial stage of the season and even states that he managed to provide much more division at the team which wasnt succeeded by FETO. Ali Koc with having some good cash at the hand, being strong supporter of Fenerbahce and also his strong stance during match-fixing period has gained lots of the respect between fans and in addition of being tired from 21-year reign of Aziz Yildirim provide quite naturally strong support from fans.

The heat without doubt would be raised between two candidates as election would come closer and this blog and page would carry on following all the developments.

Cenk Tosun has shown great adaptation to Everton and Premier League. 

Everton player Cenk Tosun performance during last 3 weeks games at Premier League has managed to found 4 goals and has become one of the talked players at the team and whole league during this process.

When he joined the team during mid-season transfer window he had some issues to get adapted to the league but with providing better performance he started to score goals and has showed to head coach Sam Allardyce that his transfer wasnt mistake and he would carry on to providing top level performance. As been mentioned for long time, Premier League is among toughest, possibly toughest league in the world, and it was normal for Cenk Tosun to get used to the league but when he did its natural for him to dominate game. In fact, it is important case for Cenk Tosun to become another strong ambassador of Turkish football, among Enes Unal, Cengiz Under and Hakan Calhanoglu with Turkish players showing memorable performance at Europe.

Cenk Tosun as all the players has lots of improve but factor he improved his game in Premier League shows he is showing right attitute and has all reasons to make Turkish public and general supporters proud of his performance at Everton.
