What happened in Turkish football today? 13/01/2020


Fenerbahce will have tough Turkish Cup tie against Kayserispor.

Competitive football of calendar year of 2020 in Turkey is going to start with Turkish Cup last 16 stage, as Fenerbahce are going to meet with Kayserispor which could become difficult opponent due of poor performance in the league.

With both sides also not playing any friendlies during mid-season break, it would be expected that both sides would come out with almost with their perfect squad prior to restart of the 2019-20 Super League season. It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce would be coming as favourites for the game but it as been mentioned Kayserispor are currently located in the last spot in the league and due of that could provide different motivation for this game with getting some confidence in start of year. It also needs to be reminded that one of the 2 games which it has won this season so far has been Fenerbahce so that could provide some different motivation for this game. Therefore, this game could end up being pretty tough for Fenerbahce and would need to show high focus for this game.

Fenerbahce in similar manner would like to start 2020 with good result as it has some high aims for rest of the season looking certainly for double.

Merih Demiral has ended season due of injury.

Juventus player Merih Demiral sadly has got serious injury during Serie A game against Roma and has ended season and does have risk of not being ready at least start of Euro 2020 even through there is realistic hope he would recover before that.

It needs to be noted that with injury which he has recieved, things for him were going very well as he did found goal in same game which is being his 1st goal with Juventus and generally did become regular in the team. This development without doubt would provide unhappiness to Demiral himself, Juve fans and provide some worry for Turkish National Team as he is expecting to be one of the key players in this team during Euro 2020. It would now be important for everyone involved with his recovery including Demiral himself to be focussed into strong, effective but patient recovery so he would be able to return to game with high level hopefully before kick-off against Italy at Euro 2020.

Timing of this injury is not being done at perfect time but this kind of things do happen and its important for him to focus to fast strong recovery.

Rizespor has terminated contract with Mustapha El Kabir.

Rizespor has terminated contract with its player Mustapha El Kabir who didnt show high level performance in his season so far and didnt looked to be being very useful for rest of the season.

With teams having some difficulty at cashflow due of high level fees, high focus during this mid-season transfer window has been to find ways to save money which would otherwise bring some more cash which could be used for upcoming transfer. With El Kabir not being able to provide regular good performace in the club but recieving not very low amount of salary leads him to be among first ones in mind to terminate contract in the club. This decision financially is being right one and would provide some economical stability in the club for sure.

Rizespor would now likely to focus into transfers but their is possibility for some players to end contract also in upcoming period.
