What happened in Turkish football today? 18/04/2019


Cuneyt Cakir shows better performance at Europe than at home games.

On the days where VAR refereeing has been criticised high amount in Turkey mainly focussing into performance of the referees at Turkish Super League, Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir has shown top performance during Champions League memorable quarter-final 2nd leg game between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

With yesterday's game has been about most discussed quarter-final games at Champions League not only due of overall exciting game with in total of 7 goals scored but also great and most importantly crucial decisions given by Cuneyt Cakir. Last 2 goals has been played an important role with Llorente goal raising questions of hand ball while Manchester City offside goal towards end of game has been ruled out of offside at right decision. Those decisions are very difficult to give and quite naturally, especially following derby game, does raise questions if same decisions would be gone through at such manner in Super League. There are meanwhile an argument that Cuneyt Cakir does come out more with positive pressure as he aware that he cant make high mistakes at European games and also on other side doesnt recieve as much as pressure during this games compare in Turkey which certainly has positive impact for his preparation. With so much pressure coming from clubs, does look to affect referees decisions for sure.

Paradoxically, Cuneyt Cakir gives great examples of refereeing while being at Europe but when comes to Turkey only recieves controversions. Possibly an issue is at football atmosphere in country.

Galatasaray player Mbiaye Diagne blames for recieving fouls towards him for not showing great performance.

Galatasaray player Mbiaye Diagne interestingly has stated to technical staff of his members that one of the main reasons of his poor performance at Galatasaray games has been factor that opponents are showing very harsh game towards game and referees dont provide such rightfully action.

As it is known, Galatasaray are not considering to start with Mbiaye Diagne during Super League 29th week game due of his poor performance in recent weeks and more likely to start game with Kostas Mitroglou as Diagne seems to be very far away from his used performance which is expected from him when team has transferred him for club. It became clear interestingly that Diagne is throwing blame towards opponent players and referees who allow fouls towards him which to some extend does show that he is not aware in what kind of team he is playing. Even through behaviour of referees, if he is correct, are not tolerated, it needs to be stated that it is normal for opponents to show such action towards him as he is playing at big club like Galatasaray and he needs to be aware of this if he wants to become one of the key players at the team. He needs to provide better performance to secure his starting 11 for sure.

Mbiaye Diagne carries on dissapointing Galatasaray technical staff and fans and as player he needs to find ways how to start showing better performances.

Fenerbahce are interested with Borussia Dortmund player Shinji Kagawa

Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Borussia Dortmund player Shinji Kagawa, who is currently loaned to Besiktas, if loaned team doesnt consider to purchase him for high salary in summer.

With Besiktas is likely to have an issue for purchasing Shinji Kagawa regardless how much their would like them but with Borussia Dortmund not considering to reduce his transfer fee could put Fenerbahce also to the negotiaitons table for the player with German side, but it needs to be noted that financial conditions Fenerbahce is at it would also have an issue to transfer him very likely. It also known that Shinji Kagawa is very happy in Turkey and also at Besiktas, so it is naturally questionable if he would like to join to one of the main rivals of the club even through Jeremain Lens had similar story with Fenerbahce but didnt have issue coming to Besiktas after that. As always this are only rumours for now and time would show how this story would develop for sure and as always blog would follow.

Shinji Kagawa good performance at Besiktas and also generally being great player does give hand for Borussia Dortmund to have strong negotiations with high fess and that is not good news for Turkish clubs.
