What happened in Turkish football today? 24/12/2019


Trabzonspor has got important win against Konyaspor.

Trabzonspor without doubt has got very important win during Super League 16th week game against Konyaspor even through it did provide defensive focussed game during 2nd half due of recent results.

Trabzonspor even through possibly not very effectively but did show some high quality attacking game against Konyaspor with taking full control of the game against struggling opponents. Once again Trabzonspor player Alexander Sorloth has got upper hand during game as he has found very crucial goal with good header. However, due of recent results when Trabzonspor did find goal 1st but later has conceded goals and hence lost points led them to provide much more defensive game which led for Konyaspor to provide strong effective attacking game with looking chances back-to-back.
Trabzonspor didnt have much control but not conceding goal could be seen success in this game, even through it needs to be remembered that Konyaspor does have some issues with converting chances so this game could not be seen as good reference point with all respect to Konya side.

Still, this has been good outcome for Trabzonspor and pushed them to 3rd spot with 4 points behind leaders Sivasspor and would look with optimism to Kayserispor game.

Besiktas has requested for VAR talks during Fenerbahce game to be made public.

Following Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi press conference with requesting for Central Referee Committe and TFF to be more open regarding its referees with an aim to provide justiful performance, club has requested for TFF to announce VAR talks and referee reports from Fenerbahce game.

Football community in country even through admits that Fenerbahce did provide better performance then Besiktas during Super League 16th week game, everyone seems to be admitting that referee Cuneyt Cakir did make some crucial mistakes including not counting 2 penalties. With this all talks, Besiktas made statement for all VAR conversations between referee Cuneyt Cakir and VAR referee Mete Kalkavan to be made public. It also asks for referee reports following game to be made public with ultimatum type statement that it should be announced prior to 26th December 17:00, even through there is no mention what it would do if no annoucement would be made. Now, as it is known according to protocol committee and TFF have no right to announce VAR talks which does mean that its hand are closed and its no making any compromises unless it is ready to take circumstances would come. For now, TFF didnt make any statement apart of sending to PFDK Besiktas administrators due their statements.

It would be interesting what would be taking place in this issue for upcoming 2 days and actions both sides would be taking in this period.

Ersun Yanal seems to be dissapointed how Ali Koc provides support to him.

Meanwhile, from Fenerbahce front is more focussed into possible crises between club head coach Ersun Yanal and CEO of club Ali Koc with possibility that he is statement following Besiktas has been related to this issue.

It needs to be noted that this is going around rumours which are discussed in Turkish sports media and would need mean it is true but it is taking vast amount of sports media that it deserves some attention at this blog. It is believed especially following 15th week game against Sivasspor, where after game Ali Koc made some general analysation of bad performance of team, there was huge target towards team and some signs towards technical staff. It is mentioned that for instance that Ersun Yanal doesnt feel he is being defended and supported from administration which made his bit dissapointed from this factor. Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc does state that he is giving support to Ersun Yanal and it does look to be case, but it needs to be shown possibly more clear to Yanal if it doesnt want to have some unwanted internal issues between sides.

Fenerbahce does seem to be having some issues psychological but this win against Besiktas which came also from good performance should calm some things inside club.
