What happened in Turkish football today? 28/03/2018


Turkish National Team shows great hopes for future and gets to be more organised side.

Turkish National Team has ended another its international friendly game period with getting 1 win and 1 draw and was actually pretty close to get also win against Montenegro yesterday but due of poor performance and also change of squad during 2nd half didnt manage to keep its 2:0 advantage which it got.

Stating that, the scoreline should not be main focus as those are friendly games where Mircea Lucescu has specifically called younger players to build future team which could be heroes for team which would qualify to Euro 2020 or even provide great performance at the tournament. Taking account that this team is getting used to each other right now and also general level of the performance at the team level there is some hopes for future. This blog did criticise Turkish National Team both during Ireland and Montenegro games but there were some good signs and areas which it wasnt able to show are solveable. It also needs to be reminded that some of the key players of current squad were not called and hence this team would been better at those circumstances. Still, there was some moments of great organisation and with Mircea Lucescu solving those issues it could lead to some hope for future games.

Therefore, it is case that national team is still not at the level which would be accepted by them but it has some good chances to become stronger side and shows great potential in its performance.

Valencia are interested to transfer Besiktas player Oguzhan Ozyakup 

European clubs interest towards Turkish players keeps taking place as it became clear that Valencia has also joined among teams who has interest to transfer Besiktas player Oguzhan Ozyakup during summer transfer window.

It is known that for player main priority right now being is to stay at Besiktas and the team wants to keep him at the side and one of the reasons why deal has not been made is for 30% share of fee which it needs to be paid to Arsenal according to contract which both player and club plan to find solution. However, without official extension contract made between side there would be news and rumours coming out from other teams in Turkey and around Europe for Oguzhan Ozyakup with Valencia being new side. Looking at things realistically, taking account interest of Besiktas and player, it is unlikely that he would leave but it does matter how talks with Arsenal would carry on as English side might show, rightly, show resistance for change of 30% share of salary not showing interest due of economical conditions pleasant at club and Turkey.

Therefore, chances of Oguzhan Ozyakup to leave Besiktas during summer transfer window is pretty pleasant but highly likely chance is for him to stay at his current side with pretty long extension.

Mustafa Cengiz focus into respect towards other teams could done good for Turkish football in future. 

Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz has tried to show himself as more gentleman CEO leader compare to previous CEO at the team and clubs, especially among big "4" teams, which has been pretty unusual aspect since match-fixing scandal.

Mustafa Cengiz did state several times that he would be celebrate the team which would get league title race but did underline as would be expected that he is hoping it would be his club lifting title at the end of the season. What is more crucial has been also his defence towards UEFA for possible fine or ban regarding of FFP to also provide defensive and supportive speech regarding of other clubs in Turkey. Among showing himself in positive image he also does great for Turkish football as realising that keeping support for all teams would move forward Turkish football in general, level of Super League and national team. This behaviour hopefully would also move other clubs to show similar stance. For now, this stance also seems allows club to stay out of high polemics between sides also.

Of course, as it is known tension at Turkish football is known to be very high between clubs, fans and sometimes media raising some issues so its not easy to show that stance in this league and country but if Cengiz manages to carry on like that tension outside of football fields could be over.
