What happened in Turkish football today? 14/10/2018



Turkey has lost chance to win group with 2:0 loss against Sweden. 

Turkish National Team didnt provide a great performance during Russia during Nations League League B Group 2 and has lost game with 2:0 scoreline and has lost opportunity to end its group at top spot and get to the play-off round for Nations League League B group.

With following result Russia has recieved 7 points following this game with 2 games left at the group while Turkey has stayed with 3 points with 1 game and hence has lost all opportunities to end group at the top place. It does need to be stated that with performances prior to today's game during Sweden and Bosnia it did provide some strong optimism for supporters of Turkish football but it needs to be noted that Russia compare to those two opponents are in better position. However, most importantly Turkey has been also far from their own performance which would provide good results to them and didnt provide high level performance. Turkey didnt manage to show great passing game today and has been specifically slow at going forward while from beginning Russia has shown a good attacking game looking for goals and not allowing Turkey to get control of the game. Stating that, Turkey did create some good chances and did provide some good chances but as game with Bosnia did fail to find goal as one goal could change many things for them. This game did show that team needs to still improve to get into high level performance.

Russia meanwhile carries on showing high level performance following World Cup with pretty dominant game and despite of poor performance against Sweden, it did look much more organised team and has dominated game. Right now even draw against Sweden would make them group winner if Sweden beats Turkey.

Turkish National Team didnt get into the mood of the game which it needed not to lose points and right now would need to focus to Sweden game so it wont be relegated to League C.

Sacked assistant coaches would like to have meeting with Ali Koc.

Fenerbahce ex-assistant coaches Tulgay Altay, Murat Ozturk and Alper Asci who has been sacked from their position into news that their had prevented current coach Phillip Cocu to provide high level performance at the team with some prevention has requested to meet with Ali Koc to provide their self-defence.

Ali Koc and Fenerbahce decision to end contract with those coaches who has worked with previous coach Aykut Kocaman has been announced due of the factor that their had shown some serious operation to prevent Phillip Cocu to get good results with current side at providing information from previous season. It was known that those names has been decided to have an announcement but changed their mind as decided at 1st to have meeting with Ali Koc to provide their defence to the CEO and make it clear that all this rumours which were provided to him doesnt represent the truth. There are also rumours that Phillip Cocu was surprised with such decision and their were sacked from reports provided from sports director Damien Comolli. It is important for now for Koc to accept this from ex-coaches and get reported from what happened in this case from their perspectives.

This meeting could be one of the most crucial aspects of this on going situation and could even lead to changes of decision from Ali Koc.

Besiktas would have meeting with Feyenoord player Orkun Kocuk later this month. 

Besiktas meanwhile is contuning there works for mid-season transfer window as their would have meeting with Feyenoord young player Orkun Kocuk with who it was interested with summer transfer window but didnt make deal due of economical reasons.

It is been reported that one of the main reasons why Besiktas has decided to make their actions even earlier than usual is for strong interest for Barcelona to transfer player during mid-season transfer window, which led Besiktas to plan meeting both with Feyenoord and Kocuk on 19th October to discuss about how player is seeing his future and he would like to join still during mid-season transfer window. The meeting would be able for Besiktas to draw road map regarding of transfer works for Orkun Kocuk in upcoming period especially as mid-season transfer window would come closer.

This transfer would be good investment for future of the club but Barcelona might provide strong opposition towards Besiktas transfer works.
