What happened in Turkish football today? 23/05/2020


1 player and personnel from Yeni Malatyaspor has got Covid19 positive result.

As our blog has been taken bit more optimistic view regarding of Covid19 spread in Turkey and also footballing world, it has become reported that 1 player and personnel from Yeni Malatyaspor has become infected from it.

Even through with numbers of new cases dropping for about week and also positive outcomes which likely to come from 4 day curfew during Eid Mubarek, case with Yeni Malatyaspor does provide once again that it could be still be infected so hence its important to keep into careful on this days. Yeni Malatyaspor didnt provide much information about is been infected apart of it being one player and personnel but as we see their are cases which does take place but 2nd tests tend to be negative. We would be hoping same will be case in this 2 cases.

Without doubt and sadly we would be hearing some news about virus infection in football community and will be hoping it would be kept at minumum.

Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor offer to end season at Istanbul.

It is reported that even through TFF does aim to play with away-home fixtures when leagues would be resumed on 12th June, as it is expected to do so 28th May. However, their are reports that Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor provided request for games to be played on Istanbul.

Conversation about risks to get infected from travelling being high, question about playing games in one city with strong quarantine measures is still on table, even through TFF looks to be declining this.

Both Istanbul clubs hence providing an option to play in Istanbul as it would be able to provide highest level of security, it does have 7-8 stadiums and high level hotels which are currently being empty due of pandemic. One of the options is to have draw each week to discuss which games would be played in which stadiums so it would be reducing advantage to one team or another. Galatasaray believes this would also help for league to go through faster calendar to end within 1.5 months.  It is however reported that Trabzonspor are against such offer.

It does look like this option could be taken into consideration if TFF would consider to play games in one city.

Upcoming summer transfer window could help to build future sides for clubs.

It does look like focus into summer transfer window, whenever it would start, has been building up from clubs as discussion to focus into younger potential player who are preferably Turkey in own academy or other clubs would dominate window.

Without doubt clubs would need to focus much more into their own finances as their been into trouble even before Covid 19 but did hit even hard right now. Hence, clubs would be needing to go for revision with their own transfer politics looking for ways to not spend too much money but same not losing strength of side at least alot for next season. Therefore, this summer would not be focussed with getting world-famous name but would be focussed into much more modest young names. If this would be done correctly, for sure it could even help sides to build potential strong sides for future which would only help for their own club and also national team.

This is in fact opportunity to build potential strong side for future but to achieve it needs to be done in strong professional manner from clubs for sure.
