What happened in Turkish football today? 17/11/2019


Turkey ends successful qualifying campaign with win.

Turkish National Team has completed Euro 2020 qualifier in a way how it was performing during whole campaign as game has ended with 2:0 scoreline with both goals coming from Enes Unal. In this manner, Turkey has only lost 1 game in qualifiers.

With Turkey clinching ticket following draw against Iceland and also chances for top position been low, as France played with Andorra this game has been seen by many as formality or 1st pre-Euro2020 friendly game. This to some extend has been also seen from squad as main players has been taken from squad and for younger players to get experience for playing at senior level. Even through some been selected first time, it could be stated that their also given their share in this campaign especially providing points to FIFA ranking. This blog also stated that today performance might even help for some players to get selected for Euro2020 squad and for sure Enes Unal did provide some positive image not only with 2 goals but also good performance all round. This has been good game for Turkey and now it can wait for draw which would be taken in 30th November for Euros.

Andorra despite of conceding 2 goals and not being able to provide strong defence as their did in previous game with Turkey, still did aim to play its own game and did manage to show some good moments. Taking their level and also condition of game, it wasnt really bad night for them.

Turkey ended this campaign with win and now it needs to be focussed for Euro2020 and see how it would become even better side for such crucial tournament.

Milan are interested to transfer Merih Demiral.

One of the key players of Euro 2020 qualifiers for Turkey who has played an important role for team to get into proper tournament has been without doubt Juventus defender Merih Demiral who has provided strong trust in defence side.

With providing such high level performance in this period of time, and also not recieving high amount of playing time at Juventus due of having other strong players in squad, it is known that high amount of clubs are showing interest towards him. For instance, one of the strongest clubs in Serie A who aims to get back into its successful years are showing strong interest with Demiral and does consider to send loan offer to Juventus during mid-season transfer window. It needs to be noted that staying in Italy for Demiral could be good decision for development as it is league which always provided strong focus into defensive football and this would be only provide additional bonus for him to develop as he did so far providing high level performance in recent period.

Merih Demiral is player which is developing and would become even stronger defender and needs to be looked actively in Euro 2020 next summer.

Galatasaray aims to use +1 loan extension deal with Nzonzi. 

It became clear that Galatasaray are happy with Steven Nzonzi performance and hence are aiming to use +1 year loan option due of providing high level performance in club during this season.

In fact, Steven Nzonzi especially among foreign players are among few ones with who technical, administration and fans are satisfied in sense of providing high level football and due of that it would be as been mentioned to extend contract with player, aiming to show confident performance both with work in training session and also at the field giving his best and aiming to move team forward character which seems to be lacked with most of the players during this season. It is expected that Galatasaray would start to have negotiations with Sevilla in short period of time where it would be aiming to get extension before end of the season.

Keeping Steven Nzonzi would be important role to team and would carry on helping team if he carries on similar performance.
