What happened in Turkish football today? 18/09/2018


Galatasaray has started Champions League with a win against Lokomotiv Moscow with 3 points.

Galatasaray has started Champions League campaign with a win against Lokomotiv Moscow at its home with 3:0 scoreline and has shown great performance for most amount of game and has controlled it even through their were times when Lokomotiv Moscow has took control of the game.

Galatasaray has started game with an goal during 9th minute thanks to the goal from Garry Rodrigues as it has used poor start of the Lokomotiv Moscow and has turned this poor start to its own advantage. Galatasaray did start game and has continued for some part of the 1st half with performance seeking to get a win as it has created some chances. But as time has been going through it needs to be admitted that Lokomotiv Moscow has shown improvement with its performance. But during 2nd half of the 2nd half, Galatasaray has once again got control of the game and has found high number of the chances and has become relaxed after goal from Eren Derdiyok. Galatasaray has later has found also goal from Selcuk Inan. Galatasaray has been fully focussed to the game and has shown high focus to the game. Therefore, Galatasaray has got well-deserved and has shown good start of the Champions League at its home ground.

Lokomotiv Moscow meanwhile didnt manage to start game well and has conceded an early goal but it has managed to improve as game progressed but as game progressed has lost tempo and allowed Galatasaray to win with 3:0 scoreline.

Galatasaray has started Champions League with 3 points with 3 goals without reply and would look confident to upcoming games at the group.

Al Nassr has signed Alvaro Negredo for 2 years.

Al Nassr has transferred ex- Besiktas player Alvaro Negredo next day when player has travelled to UAE to have one-on-one negotiations with Arabic side as both parties has also terminated contracts with each other.

As it was known, Negredo was among players which team wanted to sell during summer transfer window but didnt manage to do so. Stating that it needs to be stated in all fairness to Negredo he did show improvement during this season as he has scored very crucial goals including during Europa League qualifiers. In fact, Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes did state that he wants for a player to stay at the team. But there was a sign from both parties which showed that their he would be leaving side. Arabic football market, where summer transfer window is still open was seen among last chances for him to leave. With this in mind, Negredo has left Besiktas and has made 2-year contract with Al Nassr. It needs to be stated that even through Negredo didnt fulfill his expectations especially during last season he still managed to leave good mark at the team.

Besiktas therefore did terminate contract with Negredo and did lose one of its attacking players but it does have good alternatives at which head coach Senol Gunes would focus with improving of.

Fenerbahce aims to transfer its loaned player Yasmine Benzia

With great performance which was shown by Fenerbahce player Yasmine Benzia during Super League 5th week game against Konyaspor, club are considering to sign him as he is currently loaned and aims to reduce transfer option.

Taking account that he was coming out to the 1st game with his new club, Yasmine Benzia has shown very impressive performance during Konyaspor player with showing great control of the ball and nice passes through the game which has helped side to win game as he has provided a great assist to Eljif Elmas which brought an important win to the team. Assuming that Benzia would keep on improving as he would get more adapted to the team, Benzia would be huge help to the performance of the side and could solve an important issues at the midfield area at the field. Therefore, it is understandable why Fenerbahce currently main focus is to sign transfer for long-term period.

For sure, Yasmine Benzia until now seems to be best transfer during this summer transfer window and he has gained lots of praise by technical staff and fans. Hence, it is reasonable for club to aim to transfer him for long term.
