Turkey has shown good control of game but has lacked to create chances during game.
With single goal scored from Mehmet Topal through set piece has led Turkish National Team to win international friendly game against Republic of Ireland at the game where team has controlled whole game but had trouble to create dangerous chances.
There are really two perspectives which could be watched at the Turkish National Team performance which is from positive and negative views. One of the factors which would keep also future for this team hopefully is that Turkey has managed to control ball and not allowing Ireland to get much chances. Taking account, in all fairness, that both sides strength are more or less are exactly same it was important to see that Turkey has controlled ball, was more in other half compare to Ireland who had once chance at the game. But the problem with Turkish National Team has been for not creating chances and has trouble at not only creating but also show some activity at the penalty area where all this control has mainly been outside of penalty zone. In fact, the factor that goal has come from corner kick, set piece, has provided some worrying of not being able which would mean that it had trouble. Without doubt this should be an issue which needs to be solved for friendly game against Montenegro on 27th March.
On other hand, Ireland wasnt able to provide a lot of difficulty against Turkey as it had only very dangerous chances and apart of that has been playing side which was defending. Their could see only conceding goal as positive sign but it had trouble to control game.
Turkish National Team has now got a win which would keep them highly motivated as Mircea Lucescu has won his 2nd game as he became coach of the team. Right now team would aim to improve this performance against Montenegro.
Igor Tudor would demand 900,000 euro bonus if Galatasaray gets league title.
There are some strong rumours that Galatasaray ex-coach Igor Tudor considering to open compensation case against his old team due of not recieving payment until of the season. Yesterday their was also news circulated at Turkish media that ex-coach would request 900,000 euro if team would get title.
Igor Tudor would be asking for this money in an argument that he has also played a role for this league title if it would be recieved during his performance during 1st half of the season. Even through this argument does make some valuable it needs to be remembered that team did lose lots of points during his last games of the season and also its totally unclear how team would have performed with him staying at the team. Therefore, this action would be seen as unprofessional and unethical and he would only recieve if administration decides to acknowledge as his role but demanding it from side would be entirely wrong. When Igor Tudor did join Galatasaray with leaving Karabukspor in total unclear manner it was some signs that he would be able to create some issues towards team. As he has lived those aspects has come into visibility.
It needs to be stated that this are also rumours and might not be case but sadly it could be stated that Igor Tudor is someone who might provide such request at the end of the season.
Fabri demands raise of his salary from Besiktas.
Among other news which was going around Turkish media, is reports that Besiktas player Fabri has requested raise of his salaries from administration or otherwise he would be considering to leave team during summer transfer window.
Fabri is recieving least amount of salary at the team among foreign players and has shown strong loyalty to the team. Player and manager rightfully argue that as player he has provided lots of effort and role for success of the team in domestic and European level and hence wants to be provided with respective salary. Besiktas as all of the teams in Turkey, even through might not have as serious others, is also at high debt and hence would not happy with such development but if it wants to keep player at the side and make sure he provides good performance would need to reconsider his salary to keep him happy at the team. This blog expects for this issue to be solved in mutual deal as both sides seem to be satisfied but time would be showing.
This news does make sense, but as usual Turkish sports media might overexerate this event and it might not be as stressful as it is but time would show if both sides would make deal about this salary issue.
