What happened in Turkish football today? 04/07/2019


Zekeriya Alp has been selected as Central Referee Committee CEO.

Zekeriya Alp has been elected as Central Referee Committee CEO during today's election, and he would be taking probably one of the most stressful and pressurised jobs at Turkish football as clubs and players provide enormous pressure to referees.

As it would be remembered from Turkish football followers and also of our blog and pages, clubs has provided high amount of criticism towards referees during last season and VAR didnt reduce amount of criticism and attacks towards them at Turkish football. Without doubt, even through it would been liked otherwise, it is expected that similar actions would be done during next season and to control this aspects and make both clubs and referees satisfied would be given to Zekeriya Alp. It needs to be noted that Alp has come into this position by being referee beforehand and also some good experience at such roles, so it would be expected that he would be able to cope with that position and aim to reduce tension next season to minumum.

This appointment should be seen as new beginning for Turkish football and hopefully would lead to calm upcoming season regarding of referees.

Basaksehirspor has transferred Pyramids player Okechekwu Akechekwu

Basaksehirspor has loaned Pyramids player Okechekwu Akechekwu for 1-year after also providing good and memorable performance at Rizespor during last season.

As it would be remembered during last season, Rizespor had very poor start of the season but as season has been carried on it has shown incredible performance becoming one of the best teams during 2nd half of the season. Without doubt one of the main reason for such performance has been great performance by Okechekwu Akechekwu. It needs to be noted that Besiktas has also shown some strong interest towards player but couldnt transfer him. Akechekwu would be great addition to Basaksehirspor and as player would be able to push team into forward with ways how he manages creates chances for his teammates from midfield area.

Akechekwu is an important to a team without doubt and would be able to provide some good performance for a team during next season both domestically and in Europe.

Recep Gur has been loaned to Westerlo after signing extension with Galatasaray,

Galatasaray has extended contract with its 18-year old player Recep Gur for 2-years and has loaned him straight away to Westerlo for one season with an option to transfer.

With being only 18-year old and providing high level performance at academy part of the team, it needs to be stated that Gur has high level of potentiality but still is not in level which would been expected for Galatasaray. Therefore, it was good decision to send him to Westerlo as loan player as he would be able to develop as player into tough league like Belgium and prove himself both to

Westerlo and Galatasaray in upcoming season. It does need to be stated that inclusion of transfer of player at the end of the loan also shows that Westerlo does see some potentiality at the team as long as it would of course develop him at right direction.

Recep Gur meanwhile is making an important step at his short career and has strong opportunity to prove himself in Belgium.
