What happened in Turkish football today? 13/11/2020


 

Forfeiting "Covid" games is harsh decision, but there is no other alternative.

It became clear that TFF are considering to forfeit Super League games, in similar manner as Turkish Cup, if number of positive Covid19 cases would be in number of available players at team to be less to 14, due of active schedule following New Year.

With TFF raising number of clubs in this Covid-season, has led for number of games naturally rise with mid-week games to be played mostly in 2021 however with number of games to be postponed due of Covid19 being possibly to be happening as number of cases across clubs rising and 2 games arleady been postponed, rises questions for games not be able to schedule. Therefore, one of the option is to provide pretty harsh decision to forfeit game with 3:0 scoreline for side which didnt come to game due of virus. Without doubt, this decision is being pretty harsh and as writer I am being against it despite of it been practicised in some leagues across Europe as it is punishing for something which clubs didnt do wrong( only due of them not being careful, but against as flu it could be spread even when precautions taken). This issue would be discussed within clubs, and likely to be against but problem here is that it would have problem to find alternative in such circumstances.

TFF made mistake in beginning for rising number of clubs 18-21 believing that virus would be more in control, but we seeing that more clubs are being effected for them compare to spring.

Total of 8 players got Covid 19 at Besiktas. 

Besiktas continues to be club which looks to be highly affected in this period of Covid19, with 5 more players getting positive tests with making totally number as 8, hence only having in dispose 16 players right now.

With arleady having 5 cases earlier this week, it became clear that 3 more players within team, 1 being out of squad has got positive test results with adding to this 2 players who are at national duty, with one of them being Domadoj Vida. In fact, this development does show that possibility of Vida joining Croatian team with arleady been infected but so to speak virus not being active from Besiktas. Even through there is still week until Trabzonspor game, this game is also being in danger if existent players, or part of them will not recover and 3 other players, hopefully not, will get positive results do. This does show importance of Besiktas to focus and try to do everything to prevent spread of virus within team.

As always our blog hopes for fast recovery for all players from virus in such difficult period which we leaving at.

Kasimpasa has appointed Irfan Buz as club's head coach.

Kasimpasa has appointed Irfan Buz as club's head coach after unexpected termination with Mehmet Buyukeksi as club is openning new chapter during this season.

As it is known, Buyukeksi has been fired not for his performance but due of misunderstanding which took place inside the club, which means Buz would be joining side which actually does show good performance for its capacity. Therefore, Buz would be judged in beginning if he would be able to show similar performance at least. Even through it doesnt seem to be issue as players would continue in similar manner, if things will not go as planned with drop of performance Buz could be felt some pressure within club. So rather then fixing things, he would need to focus into how to improve some areas which were missing. Still, Buz does have some good experience in this level and could get some good results with his club.

Therefore, Irfan Buz doesnt take side which is broken with performance and would need to focus to improve even more which he has potential.
