What happened in Turkish football today? 12/07/2018


Cuneyt Cakir has shown calm and authoritative performance during World Cup semis.

Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir has managed to show another great performance during World Cup semi-final game between England and Croatia, even through some English fans were unhappy with his refereeing which is mainly described due of team losing game.

As always, Cuneyt Cakir has managed to keep his authority during game and has controlled game for almost whole time without much taking sides and has played an important role for game to be played at high tempo and creating high number of the chances. It could be clearly stated that he didnt take any sides and was following rule books including stopping game at additional time after Croatia as England was trying to start game in fast manner. It was visible that one Croatian player wasnt on field and hence game could not be started. There were some times at game when tension has been risen pretty a lot but it was mainly due of game play and Cakir in fact managed those incidents not to grow much. Surely, FIFA and UEFA would be satisfied with his performance and will unlikely consider to provide low points of his performance.

If Cuneyt Cakir continues this great performance it would be pretty soon that he would be appointed for final game in one of the major competition for certain.

VAR would make games more fair in Turkey.

Turkish Football Federation has finalised its decision that VAR system would be used during Super League, Super Cup and also Turkish Cup since quarter-final stage and should be able to reduce complaints which seems to be frequent in Turkish league.

As been observed during World Cup 2018, it could be stated that VAR system has been very successful without affecting much game play and also helping for game to become more fair and have impact into fair result. But it needs to be stated that VAR system officially has been used only on 5 games so far in Turkey which was at 1st league play-off games which helped Erzurumspor to reach to Super League. With players at this league being used to complain a lot their would not have that opportunity and if their do it would just look foolish and will not affect in good manner. It is known that Turkish referees had adaptatition period for this system for long time right now and hence are pretty familiar and technology would be able to affect positively to Turkish football and all talks of being cheated and losing points due of referees is likely to be completed if system is done in right way.

Therefore, Super League would be openning new chapter next season with VAR system to be introduced in this country and provide extra excitement to the league and cup.

Galatasaray are interested with Barcelona player Yerry Mina.

Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim during interview today has announced that he is interested to transfer Barcelona and Colombia National Team player Yerry Mina to the team during this summer but its clear that this task could be very difficult.

With Fenerbahce also having interest with player, it is known that to transfer Yerry Mina could be difficult task as their are many interests towards him as he has shown very good performance at national team during World Cup in Russia. Even through being a defender, he has found many goals at tournament through corners and has played an important role to reach until last 16 where it lost to England at penalties. In fact, it could be stated that Mina has become one of the stars of this World Cup and due of this he gets high amount of interest as would been expected around globe with also Galatasaray now stating that it is interested with player.

However, as been stated task for Galatasaray could be very difficult as interest towards his is a  lot and he did raise his value during World Cup.
