What happened in Turkish football today? 01/08/2018


Besiktas expects to have calm game against B36 Torshavn at its 1st home game this season.

Besiktas would be coming out for their 1st home game during this season as it would be meeting against Faroe Islands sides B36 Torshavn at the Europa League 2nd qualifying round following 2:0 1st leg results and are expected to show confident performance.

Quite naturally, Besiktas was coming out as strong favourite during this tie as it has started earliest among Turkish teams this season and has recieved moderate scoreline at 1st leg but still showed strong dominance during game. Without disrespecting Faroe Island side, it needs to be stated that this game for Besiktas has been mainly as preparation game for upcoming season. Still, remembering of unexpected surprises which Turkish sides has shown several times in recent seasons at Europe it didnt show much surprise against B36 Torshavn. Knowing that the tie for 3rd qualifying round is being pretty close Besiktas would be expected to show calm but in same time concentrated game and with using an advantage of playing at home could be able to find some goals. Of course, Besiktas with ending last season below their aims wouldnt like to be at this stage but this opportunity could provide to get into competitive mood earlier than anyone else.

Besiktas would be coming out knowing it has strong advantage with 1st leg scoreline and playing at home and would be acting accordingly without doubt.

Rizespor has transferred Musa Cagiran and Aminu Umaru

Rizespor has transferred Osmanlispor player Musa Cagiran and Aminu Umaru which also means that players who have been relegated from Super League with their previous teams last season would be back to top league with newcomers.

Even through both Cagiran and Aminu have been playing at team which has been relegated their had shown some good performance during last season and both have some good experience at the Super League. As always, this blog has noted that for newcomers it is important to purchase experienced players who are willing to show top performance rather than ones who has been aged. It is expected that both players would be able to do both and would be able to have another chance to show their skills around Turkey and make public forget that their players which are been relegated. In overall, Rizespor which are even through has been promoted to Super League, their had long periods at the Super League and hence are aiming to remind everyone once again their quality and stay at the top division for long time and transferring those two players would be right decision to do so.

Hence, those transfers would be suitable for all parties involved as Rizespor has got 2 experienced Super League players while players would be able to experience top division football once again.

VAR system has been explained to Turkish sports society. 

Turkish Football Federation has provided an official press conference providing explanation and importance of Video-Assistance Referee(VAR) to the Super League administrators, players, media and fans identifying importance of showing calmness with system.

Even through it was identified that VAR system would be able to reduce complaints at the football and leading to be fairer game, as been proven in most of games during World Cup 2018 in Russia, it has been noted that time would be needed for all bodies to get used to the system. Therefore, their might be some cases during 1st games when system might not work at perfect manner and hence everyone should show respect and not attack to the system. This announced without doubt has been made due of the factor that high parts of society at game tends to criticise lot of referees in country and also impatience which could  lead for criticism of VAR system at early stages. This blog believes that VAR has shown its valuability and fairness at World Cup 2018 at perfect manner and with done rightly and in patient manner at the Super League would be able to provide calmness at Turkish football environment if done at right manner and high patience from all bodies involved.

VAR would recieve its 1st top game test in Turkey during Super Cup game against Akhisarspor and Galatasaray taking place on 5th August and all attention would be given to the system and how it would affect to outcome of the game without doubt.
