What happened in Turkish football today? 15/10/2018


Turkey has provided poor performance against Russia at Nations League.

Russian National Team has managed to win Turkish National Team at Nations League League B Group 2 game with 2:0 scoreline and didnt have much trouble from Turkey during whole game.

With this result, Turkish National Team has lost its chances to end group stage at the top spot and would now have meeting on 17th November against Sweden which it must win if it doesnt want to find itself at the relegation to the League C. Apart of losing to well in-form side of Russia, which carries on showing top level performance following World Cup 2018 memorable performance, Turkey didnt provide much fighting spirit and organisation with to some extend letting their opponents ot have even easier game then their would have expected. It is true that Turkey is going through important changes with its youth players and does build team for future, but currently it is not strong enough. Apart of number of good chances, Turkey did fail to get upper hand of the game at all allowing Russia to be one to control game especially during 1st half. Turkey needs to get important lessons from this performance and needs to be careful against Sweden next month to keep chances to stay at League B.

Turkey did provide poor performance against Sweden even through their were signs of hope from games against Sweden and Bosnia but didnt manage to show themselves that their are not worser than Russia right now.

Turkish National Team needs to improve and get good results soon.

Despite of the fact, that Turkey did provide some good performance agaisnt Bosnia and in fact provided some good hope against Russia, it is visible that team in this period at least had problems at scoring goals.

With current performances against Bosnia and Russia, Turkey did actually into some good chances but their had wasted some important changes or didnt manage to get into much better chances when their had opportunities. Current system led also from shot from far away due of not good formation at the front and far shots are more or less related to chance. It is true that this team needs patience right now and capable at bringing good results in the future, but currently its not showing good improvement with sometimes showing great performance and as yesterday not to so good. In fact, their is also clear some defensive issue as Turkey has conceded 2 goals in all of the Nations League so far, with aiming to stop this negative statistics next month against Sweden. With Cenk Tosun possibly most key role in those two games due of captaincy and age didnt provide this aspect and did manage also to move team forward which also an area which needs to be focussed.

Turkey does have potential but it needs to show some good performance in upcoming games to make this potential into actual results as early as possible.

Besiktas aims to sell Gokhan Tore in January. 

Besiktas has decided to sell its player Gokhan Tore during upcoming mid-season transfer window as his latest behaviour keeps team unsatisfied, especially during under-21 training game behaviour with Senol Gunes.

It is reported that number of Spanish clubs are interested to purchase Tore and this seems to be best option and even through his worth has fallen to 3 million euro as he didnt play for long time due of injury, team would naturally aim to get as much as it can from this possible possible sending him to team in level of Huesca. It is clear that relationship between Gokhan Tore and Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes among other technical staff is not going well as was become clear during under-21 where both had an argument which led Tore to go to changing room in the middle of the game.

Therefore, it can be stated that team would be aiming to sell him as soon as possible with Spanish sides for now being best option.
