What happened in Turkish football today? 26/09/2019


Besiktas will have CEO election on 13th October.

Besiktas had awaited external administrative meeting to discuss about club CEO Fikret Orman future at the team and has made decision to run early election of CEO on 13th October, if majority of voters is not gathered it would be moved to 20th October.

However, the most important development which took place at the meeting is that club administrators has agreed to convince for Orman to stay as CEO until election and also run for this election. This statement has been made to the media by club member Deniz Atalay who has included at that some administrators at the team could be changing in the administrative list. It was known that Orman was considering to leave from his position purely from emotional stance due of fan protests given towards him during Super League game against Basaksehirspor but very likely going through situation he has changed his mind and also from pressure from club and also people changed his mind. In here, of course now plays an important role if he wins how his relationship will be with fans who have been for him to resign and might provide some pressure between sides.

It seems to be logical for Orman to change his mind but this events could provide some issues for him which could also affect negatively to team.

Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz didnt recieve any punishment from PFDK

Apart of future of Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman (and to some extend earthquake in Istanbul of 5.8 scale), other main conversation at football community has been if Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz would recieve any fines from PFDK.

PFDK has right decisions not to provide any punishments to Cengiz with statements following Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc directed towards Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim. It needs to be reminded that statement even through has been directly stated and had some direct messages, it didnt provide parts of anti-sportmanship and if analysed was provided in most calm manner. As Cengiz has stated himself this statement has been done in self-defence mode which likely has also been taken into consideration by PFDK. Again, clubs in future need to be careful what their are saying but at same time PFDK needs to be aware of circumstance and language used by them.

PFDK needs to control but needs to do in such manner so it wont recieve more chaos at the future.

Fenerbahce is chance for Falcao to shine.

One of the key players during derby of two continents between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce without doubt would Galatasaray player Radamel Falcao who still didnt fulfill his expectations this season so far.

But this is great chance and opportunity for him to do against Fenerbahce especially taking account that Falcao did score against them during Monaco years in European football. When looking at previous games during this season it could be seen that there is opportunity of him scoring is bit more less, but this is why it could provide extra motivation for him as it would provide confidence push without doubt if he manages to score against his club main rival. It needs to be noted of course that it would not be an easy task at all as Fenerbahce defenders would provide strong defence where understanding of his teammates at front would also be also crucial. Galatasaray key player looks to be Falcao but team play would be crucial during game for sure.

Falcao would be on eye with everyone either playing or watching game but its in hands to fulfill all expectations given to him.
