What happened in Turkish football today? 10/11/2020


 

Turkey would play high-level friendly against Croatia.

Turkish National Team is going to start its November games with friendly game against Croatia, two sides which did meet with each in recent years which includes some memorable games as national team would be entering to final stage of Nations League. 

Remembering that Croatia has been finalists of World Cup 2018 and without doubt is seen as one of the leading nations right now would provide strong test for Turkey as Germany game on October had same effect and would be able to test player prior to crucial Russia and Hungary games but most important for Euro 2020. Without doubt, during October games one of the main criticised notes been its poor performance which it showed during 1st halves and then comeback on 2nd half. Therefore, it would be interesting to see if Turkey would be able to spread its strong performance in this 3 games for 90 minutes. With this game also being friendly would certainly mean opportunity to check some players against such strong opponent. One of the interesting views would be towards Caner Erkin and Altay Bayindir possibility to play in this friendly with viewing how they would perform.

Therefore,without doubt this game would provide good tests to players and also possibly provide motivation for upcoming games without doubt.

Trabzonspor appoints Abdullah Avci as club head coach for 2.5 years  

As been discussed for several days right now, Trabzonspor has appointed Abdullah Avci for 2.5 years as he is seen one of the best coaches right now in Turkey even through he still doesnt experience title at any club.

Trabzonspor as been known did show interest towards Avci since summer but couldnt come into agreement which been without doubt main reason for Eddie Newton contract to be signed which sadly for him did go as planned at all. Even through Avci did have very poor period with Besiktas, mainly due of his style of play, he is still seen one of the best coach in country with especially results he did get with Basaksehirspor, keeping them always as title contenders. It is likely Avci would be focussing with improving performance of defenders in Trabzonspor which didnt show very good performance in this season aiming more into points rather then performance at least until midseason. Therefore, Trabzonspor supporters would need to show patience and known how impatient there are playing without supporters would go into his hand.

Therefore, it does look Abdullah Avci could bring some results for his side in beginning but would not show specifically positive performance.

Galatasaray CEO election will be taking place on 19-26th December.

Following stong call from different parts and due of medical condition of current CEO Mustafa Cengiz health condition, administration has announced election to be taking place on 19-26th December.

Due of ongoing misunderstanding between club head coach Fatih Terim and administrative regarding of especially transfer matters did play here very important role for this decision to be made as Cengiz popularity among supporters and whole club has been damaged even through it is known that he would be running for CEO election possibly seeing him as sign of renewing trust from his club. Another name which is expected to be coming out as candidate will be Burak Elmas who didnt run as CEO candidate in previous elections and hence would be seeing himself to have strong opportunity to be winning due of Cengiz getting so much critcism from whole club.

Therefore, it would be interesting election and some more would be expected to give their names as it does look Mustafa Cengiz for re-election are being pretty low.
