What happened in Turkish football today? 14/11/2020

 


Turkey would aim for great game for 90 minutes.

Turkish National Team is going to resume its Nations League as it would be coming out to its last 2 games, starting with Russia against who it would be aiming to provide high level performance for 90 minutes with obviously aiming for win.

During last month game Turkey did quite pretty poor game during 1st half and strong game in 2nd half while Russia on they part did quite opposite and for now both sides would be aiming to spread this performance to 2 halves. One of the main issues for Turkey since post-lockdown period has been for conceding goals in each single game, showing quite opposite of what it been doing well during Euro2020 qualifier so therefore it would be one of the aims not to concede even through it needs to be remembered that Russia does provide good attacking game but with Dzyuba not being in squad there is opportunty for clean sheet. Therefore, it would be crucial for Turkey to focus into game and provide good tempo for 90 minutes.

Turkey does have small opportunity to end group stage at 1st spot but it would need to win game without doubt prior to Hungary game.

Clubs and players need to take Covid precautins even more now.

With Covid19 patients and hence more likely number of cases, which are not announced, surely rising rapidly we are seeing high number of positive cases among Turkish clubs having most amount of positive test results at any time in Super League with 34 cases.

Most affected team is being Besiktas with 8 players which does show that players are not taking enough seriousness in its prevention factors both in facilities and more probably in private life which could be due for players either not being too precautious or being too much relaxed. This  blog did state that clubs need to be taking extra precautions in this period if their dont want to have some issues in future, especially when talks of games to be forfeited being discussed. Logic anyone would get sick one day from Covid and we should live normal life, without getting too much into medical and health circumstances, this stance certainly would have negative impact for players, clubs and whole season. Therefore, football clubs as whole need to focus into reducing possibility of getting virus into minumum for sure.

Therefore, its crucial here to act accordingly in such period with Covid19 being in pretty active period for sure.

Christian Luyindama became injured at national duty.

Galatasaray player Christian Luyindama has become injured during his national duty with Congo and even through his condition is not being known, it is bad enough for him not to play African Cup of Nations.

With Luyindama being for sure key player at defence and possibility strongest player on that area, it would be affected a lot if it would be serious injury as his previous one has been also from national duty which led him to be injured for half year. Most dissapointed would been for injury to come from training session which possibly could be done for most pressure to his body, which could raise questions of how Galatasaray does training sessions. 

Time would show if his injury is serious or not but it would be reasonable for Galatasaray head coach to focus into how his possible absence could be filled for upcoming games.
