What happened in Turkish football today? 24/08/2020

 

Besiktas would have tough game against PAOK.

Besiktas is going to be first club in Super League which is going to open 2020/21 season as it would be meeting with PAOK on single-game 2nd qualifier for Champions League at Thesalloniki, Greece without supporters and would be aiming to show strong game.

Foremost, its crucial to remind that this decision has been made by UEFA both to reduce frequent travelling but even more importantly to provide fast-track qualifying tournament to its competition as it started 2 months later due of lockdown circumstances. It needs to be also reminded that game will be played without supporters due of Covid19 measures. Even through both countries, does bring political stance of such game we would be looking more into football wise. It needs to be noted that in this stage Besiktas did get possibly one of the toughest opponents, as PAOK does have good team and in similar manner as opponents, even through bit less, does have experience at European competitions. With also losing Burak Yilmaz to Lille and not able to find replacement for now would provide some issues in attack-wise for them. PAOK even through will not have its supporters, will not travel which does put them small advantage.

Besiktas would have some tough game against PAOK and hence needs to show strong and confident performance during whole game in all aspects of the field.

Fenerbahce player has got positive Covid19 test result

Fenerbahce has announced that one of its players has got positive test result from Covid 19 result, while later Jose Sosa wife Carolina Alluralde announced that she got positive result,but its not clear of connection as both stayed apart for week.

Due of some players returning from summer break to their clubs and also with some transferred players starting training session there is sadly posibility of raise of cases at both Turkish and general raise at football world as player is likely to be among this who recently has joined club. Meanwhile, in previous test both for Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, players 2nd tests did turn from positive and negative which would be hoped to be the case for this player in the club and in fact also for Sosa wife. Sadly, this period might be seeing with some cases but it would be hopeful that it wont have negative impact foremost to infected and whole club.

This does show that players and general public needs to be staying precautious as virus danger is not over right now.

Rizespor signs 5 players.

 Coming back to transfer front, most active side which has been today in this area without doubt has been Rizespor who has transferred 4 players and loaned 1, as it aims to have strong season.

Rizespor as would be known, did been in the area of relegation zone during last seasons with saving themselves with few weeks until end of the week and with having some important transfers it would aim not to repeat that issue. It did transfer Nadir Ciftci, Engin Pekdemir, Yasin Pehlivan for 2-years and Kemal Ruzgar for 3-years  and loaned Akhmat Grozny player Konrad Michalak for 1 season hence getting players who has good experience and could play crucial role with strengtening side for upcoming season. Stating that it should be expected that side would be continuing at transfer window without forgetting its economical issue and spending limit amount.

Still, this is being crucial date for Rizespor which could make raise of level of performance next seasons.
