What happened in Turkish football today? 17/04/2019
Basaksehirspor CEO Goksel Gumusdag calls for Abdurahhim Albayrak to make it clear his statements against his club.
Since end of the inter-continental Istanbul derby game our blog has been discussed about it, but more focussed into events outside of the field rather than what was happening during game. It needs to be also stated that Basaksehirspor has also been involved at this mess.
As it would be remembered following derby game, Galatasaray administrator Abdurrahim Albayrak has made statement regarding of TFF arleady deciding beforehand who would become champion, and without giving names it was clear that he was discussing about Basaksehirspor. Quite naturally this has shown a reaction from Basaksehirspor who always stayed from polemics at Turkish football, but when it has been directly attacked from opponent administrator it could not stay anymore. Basaksehirspor CEO Goksel Gumusdag has reminded in statement today that club has opened criminal case against Galatasaray and has asked how did club have this kind of information which includes having data that their is organisation to make Basaksehirspor game and also data from previous VAR games while this information is not in public. It does look this talks between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor would continue in upcoming days.
This blog as would be reminded has stated yesterday that their are signs that Albayrak is playing populist game for this statement and hence he needs to make statement regarding Basaksehirspor and TFF, or people will lose trust on this words.
Main referees dont need to be reluctant to check replay when asked from VAR referee.
There has been lots of talks about how VAR system has been successful in Turkey during whole season and has been once again actively discussed following derby game between Fenerbahce and Basaksehirspor during which Ali Palabayik didnt show great performance.
It needs to be noted that in overall VAR system by itself doesnt provide much issues at Turkish football, but more regarding of referees which are doing all controlling job. We need to state that technically VAR for most amount of time does provide good picture and also provides all of the angles during replays to make valuable decision. An issue, seems to be that some referees doesnt make rightful decision. Another aspect which has been seen during this season that main referee seems to be ignoring request to check VAR replay at the screen and demand on their own initial. According to VAR protocol, last decision still stays with main referee but it is worrying that he tends to ignore warning from VAR referee who is also there for goodwill. VAR has been put to correct mistakes of referees and to fill that empty space which their can have due of not seeing some actions but this action seems to be preventing it.
Main referees doesnt need to feared to make mistake when being corrected by VAR as in the end of the day it does damage to game and Turkish football in overall.
Garry Rodrigues wants to return to Galatasaray.
Focussing into transfer news, it became clear that Al-Ittihad player Gary Rodrigues, playing at Galatasaray, has told to club administrators that he is unhappy at his club and would like to return.
It also become clear that Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim in return would consider for such an option to take place as he seems to be unhappy right now with performance of his attacking player especially with Mbiaye Diagne who is providing pretty poor performance right now at the team and would like to see Rodrigues to fill that place as Kostas Mitroglou sadly for them doesnt seem also to provide enough trust for this position in return. It needs to be reminded that this is only being rumour right now and time would show but it seems to be believable as it is known that Saudi Arabic is not perfect place to provide top football and also for footballers.
If Garry Rodrigues would be able to return to Galatasaray during summer transfer window it would be advantage as he was among best teams who did fit to Fatih Terim system of game.
