What happened in Turkish football today? 16/06/2020

Trabzonspor is showing full focus with getting double during this season.

Trabzonspor has got into Turkish Cup final as it has beaten Fenerbahce during semi-final 2nd leg with 3:1 scoreline, with getting through with an aggregate scoreline 5:2. With Trabzonspor going into double while Fenerbahce has lost its chance for getting at least 1 title of this season.

Trabzonspor without doubt has started in very good pace with focussing into providing balanced game and without doubt has found an early goal from its first shot as Alexandr Sorloth scored goal from reflection of Deniz Turuc. It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor finding this goal did provide some confidence as game been progressed and looking for high number of the chances with how game has been progressing. It needs to be admitted that even through goal from Deniz Turuc during 2nd half did provide high level motivation, Trabzonspor stayed focus during whole game from start to an end and with finding 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the game did lead for Trabzonspor to get such crucial win with help to the Alexander Sorloth and Filip Novak it got well-deserved win.

Fenerbahce on their own part did provide high focus to the game and it was clear that Fenerbahce did come out to the game to getting to Turkish Cup final as it being only aim for this season but Trabzonspor did look to be in better condition as would been expected to some extend. As been noted, Fenerbahce did provide some focus but it wasnt able to provide much worry to the Trabzonspor even through it did find goal in very crucial moment of the game. Meanwhile, future sports director Emre Belozoglu continues getting cards during his game especially being in substitute as got he got red card from 2 yellow cards with argument with Alexander Sorloth, with also getting card during league game against Kayserispor. It clear that he needs to control his nerves during this period if he wants to end his career in respected manner.

Trabzonspor without doubt is currently being focussed into getting double during this season with being leaders in the league and getting to final of the Turkish Cup with confident aggregate.

Sivasspor got win against Denizlispor but it needs to improve.

Sivasspor has carried on its title hopes arrive as it has found pretty lucky goal thanks to Yatabare in the end of the 1st half but it didnt provide very good performance and did lack some creative especially having extra-men in 2nd half.

In fact, Sivasspor head coach Riza Calimbay following game has stated himself that his team didnt provide very good performance despite of scoreline stating that Covid19 virus did affect to the concentration of the team without doubt and this been aware of how their performed during this game without doubt. In fact, this is been case for all of the club without doubt. Stating that, Denizlispor did provide also poor performance even before their got with 10 men before 1st half which without doubt did make task to the Sivasspor much easier. Still, it needs to be reminded that it did find goal with lucky opportunity as ball pounced in lucky way just ahead of Yatabara who just needed to do effective shot into goal. Sivasspor hence needs to improve its performance for upcoming week but this win with being still at title race and passing Galatasaray would provide strong motivational boost to them for sure.

Sivasspor didnt provide especially good performance but their got result which their seeked for but it needs to improve for upcoming games.

Fernando Muslera injury has saddened whole football community in Turkey. 

Injury of Galatasaray player Fernando Muslera without doubt did provide dissapointment and worry not only to his club but whole Turkish football community as he has been seen as one of the strongest and well known players in league.

It needs to be noted that even through it is expected for him to recover from his injury for around 6 months as he did have successful operation today, this has been purely on game position and Skoda, who apologized and wished fast recovery to Muslera, didnt do this foul in bad intentions. Also referee of the game, which Galatasaray through blame stating that he could prevented foul with calling offside didnt break any rules since VAR protocol states that position needs to continue until its over. It is been specifically unlucky for Muslera who is celebrating his birthday to be currently being in hospital due of this injury but at least he did go through successful operation. Our blog wishes him fast recovery from such unwanted injury he got.

With strong character Muslera got strong respect in Turkey and with strong character he will be going through recovery in strong character.
