What happened in Turkish football today? 26/08/2020

 


Besiktas provided poor performance against PAOK.

Besiktas been relegated from Champions League as it has lost to Greek runners-up PAOK during 2nd qualifier with conceding 3 goals in duration of 30 minutes and did show view that its not ready for new season, both with performance and squad.

It needs to be noted that it was true that Besiktas didnt come out to game as favourites but chances has been seen pretty equal, but when game has started it did become clear that PAOK has been more ready, focussed and prepared for this game with starting game with good tempo and finding goal on 7th minute with 18-year old player Tzalos. Stating that, Besiktas did provide very poor performance in defence wise leaving huge gaps which allowed PAOK forward to have freedom of movement and due of this has led them to find 3 goals. Especially, worrying image been presented by newly-signed players but it could be harsh to provide too much criticism as it been 1st game but it is dissapointing that it had happened in such important game for club.

Besiktas even through did find one goal didnt provide strong performance and makes clear that many works needs to be done for upcoming game especially for Europa League qualifier. 

Another player got positive result from Covid19.

Following announcement from Erzurumspor, regarding of Covid19 positive test of its player Arturo Mina on 25th August, Erzurumspor has announced that another of its player has got positive test result.

It needs to be noted here that Mina test has been taken into his homeground Ecuador, and hence it does look like this player who got positive result has been infected from this virus on seperate occassions but it could be one of the newly-signed players since mainly its being them who get this virus coming from vacation and other countries. As been noted on previous posts, we are seeing slow rise of cases in Super League and even through its not being at panic level especially with starting of the season, we are being reported of cases 1-2 days per day. Taking account rise of cases both in Turkey and rest of world continues, it could provide some worry and players need to be extra careful if their dont want to get virus. 

As always our blog wishes fast recovery to unnamed player from Erzurumspor from Covid and urges everyone to be careful.

Fenerbahce signs Mauricio Lemos for 3-years

Fenerbahce has transferred Las Palmas player Mauricisio Lemos for 3-years as it possible did solve its defence issues which seems to be one of the problematic areas for the side as player is capable to fill this weaknesses in this club for sure.

Even through it could be mentioned that Lemos still didnt prove himself as high level player, he is still on level of Uruguyian National Team and does provide signs that he has potential to develop into decent defender with also arleady being in level of starting 11 in club such as Fenerbahce. In fact, he did provide some good performance at Las Palmas during his stay and focussing into that performance is getting into level of Fenerbahce. As always, effectiveness of this transfer would become clear when games will be played, but he does show some good potential in this club for sure.

It does look like Fenerbahce did solve its defence issue partly but it is reported that their focus ot even strength this area with more transfers.
