What happened in Turkish football today? 24/07/2019


Yeni Malatyaspor and Olimpija Ljubjana are expected to provide precautious game during Europa League qualifier game.

Yeni Malatyaspor would be openning its 2019-20 season as it would be playing against Olimpija Ljubjana at Europa League 2nd qualifying round 1st leg game at home ground which would be also 1st game in its history at Europe.

It needs to be stated that for both teams it would be tough game as there is not much information available about Olimpija Ljubjana at Turkey and in all fairness information about Yeni Malatyaspor is not much known in Slovenia. Hence, it would be expected that both teams would be providing a careful game, at least during 1st half of the game, and provide precaution to each other possibly studying strengths and weaknesses of each other as game would be progressing. Yeni Malatyaspor does have an advantage of playing at home and hence could be one providing an attacking game but it would be natural to see them defend also as it was main reason their ended 5th spot last season. What is important at this game for Yeni Malatyaspor for sure is to provide confident game and not being scared of their opponents.

This could be an important test for Yeni Malatyaspor without doubt and also provide good vision if team is strong enough to get to the group stage of the Europa League.

Aston Villa has transferred Kasimpasa player Trezeguet 

With future of Kasimpasa player Trezeguet, especially during early days of transfer window has been discussed in very active manner, Aston Villa which was newly promoted to Premier League has signed player at the late hours.

It was obvious that Trezeguet would be changing team during this summer due of good performance both at club and also at African Cup of Nations for Egypt but it was expected that he would stay at Turkey. However,with number of clubs especially from Premier League it was pretty natural for his price to be raised and putting chances for Super League clubs to sign him lower. With Aston Villas signing Trezeguet and also searching as club for good old days it showed at top division, it was important move for Trezeguet and he would be able to show himself fully at moderate team at the best league in the world. Kasimpasa also should be felt proud that it has managed to set its player to one of the known clubs at Europe.

This possibly most important move for Trezeguet during his career and he would be aiming to fulfill it in all fullness during next season.

Gazisehir Gaziantep has transferred Akhisarspor player Gural Vural 

Gazisehir Gaziantep carries on strenghting its squad for upcoming season with an experienced players of Super League as it has managed to transfer right now Gural Vural for 2-years.

As this blog has discussed about Akhisarspor that even through club has been relegated from last place, it still has very good players and one of the leading ones has been Gural Vural without doubt.
With Gazisehir Gaziantep making such a transfer it has made an important move to have good season potentially and being out of relegation zone as Vural does have experience from last season and would be aiming to show better performance during this season. Gazisehir Gaziantep with current squad meanwhile might not be able to aim for top position of the league but it does have capacity to feel safe outside of relegation zone during upcoming season.

Gural Vural has been an important transfer for a team and would be able to provide team an important role for helping team to have good season.
