What happened in Turkish football today? 25/12/2019


Pressure towards TFF regarding VAR conversations is getting more.

Trabzonspor has joined active talks regarding of VAR conversations between main referee and VAR referee to be made publicly since it would be making football into more justice which seems to be as known among discussed issues at Turkish football.

This conversation even through did start since start of this season more or less has been went into highest from Besiktas administration unhappiness with decisions during Super League 16th week game against Fenerbahce. As it is known, Besiktas has requested for TFF to make public statement about this issue which has been followed with Fenerbahce supporting this idea for making VAR conversations into public but stated that it should be done from 1st week of this season. As been mentioned yesterday's blog, with giving deadline until 26th December from Besiktas, TFF is at hard situation since according to IFAB rules it is not allowed to make this conversations public but declining could provide more speculations and criticism. TFF still didnt make any statement regarding this issue but it would be specifically interesting how their would respond as it would need some kind of announcement to be made.

This story does seem to be dominated this week and possibly during mid-season break as TFF and clubs seem to have into disagreement and small pressure given to both in this issue.

Trabzonspor close to make loan deal with Badou Ndiaye.

Rumours regarding of Trabzonspor making loaned deal with Stoke City player Badou N'diaye is getting more heated and active but Trabzonspor CEO Ahmet Agaoglu has declined for deal to be made.

Agaoglu does add that club is interested with player and did have negotiations but it didnt take into one-on-one matter and there is no agreement between both sides. In mean time, both Turkish and British media seem to be circulating factor that clubs did make deal for 1.5 years. If there is agreement between side, this would provide good advantage for side during title race as N'diaye did provide good performance with Galatasaray before hand and hence would be extra point for Trabzonspor as it would get player which is familiar with this league and can provide high level performance. Surely, if there is no deal yet Trabzonspor would be doing its hardest to transfer him this mid-season transfer window as Agaoglu stated he wants to see him at the club.

It does look like this story would get more developments and as always we would follow if Trabzonspor would make deal or not at the end or not.

Sivasspor has capacity for title but it depends on their mentality to control pressure.

Without doubt one of the most surprising side this season so far is being Sivasspor which quarentted with ending league as league leaders but it would be aiming to win this weekend also against Konyaspor.

 Some people might see loss of 2 points against Genclerbirligi as sign of team getting under pressure, but it needs to be remembered that it did have pretty tough Turkish Cup game in the mid-week which naturally did effect to team performance. In fact beating Fenerbahce on previous week and finding equaliser against Genclerbirligi at last minute shows how much is team focussed for its ultimate aim. It would be hard to get title as closer league comes to end tougher and more stressful games would be for them since their are unexperience but its important for team to look at this aim with passion but same time with reality checks. Sivasspor surely would be showing good performance during 2nd half of the season and does provide look that it would be in title race until end of the season. Its just important for them to stay focussed and dont get too much under presure for being at top.

Sivasspor despite of what some Turkish media states and puts them outside of title race does have capacity to get surprising title especially with how top clubs performing so far.
