What happened in Turkish football today? 15/11/2020





 Red card of Russia has direct impact for whole game.

Turkish National Team has won its 1st game during 2020 and also against Russia since opponnets got indepedence on 1991 following USSR breakup with providing strong performance following red card of opponent on 24th minute.

Without doubt, red card of Semenov did been turning point as Russia been side which had better start with controlling ball much stronger and finding goal during that period with Turkey did have issue to enter to the game both physically and mentally. However, following red card of Semenov things did change directly with providing much more agressive and tempo game which led for them with to find 2 goals back-to-back with controlling ball. It needs to be stated that during that period and most of 2nd half side did provide pretty strong game but it needs to be reminded that opponent been played with one less men and it still unclear how it would be performing with 11-to-11 as during that period Russia been better side. Another point, is that Turkey did again get into defensive game towards end of the game when scoreline with 3:2 which tends to be psychological issue which needs to be solved and should be focussed by coach Senol Gunes.

Without doubt, red card which been got by Russia did affect negatively and also conceding 2 goals after it lost high concentration and even through it did try to get back after 3:2 scoreline, it didnt have strength to do so with one less player.

Turkey got its 1st win with good game even through it did come from red card of opponent but the way it ended game does show that it needs to work to improve its game with ending game much more confidence.

Genclerbirligi has appointed Mustafa Kaplan.

Genclerbirligi has appointed Mustafa Kaplan as club's head coach after spending his years of his coaching career with Ankara as he replaces Mert Nobre who been sacked earlier this week.

As been noted, Mustafa Kaplan has spend his recent years with either Genclebrirligi and Ankaragucu getting mixed results with most of the time did have issues with getting good results with limited players in his hand. However, Kaplan does have advantage of knowing footballing culture in Ankara, as community there even through is dissapointed for being only European nation where team from capital city didnt get domestic title, does have aims to end season  at high note. It could be noted that Genclerbirligi does have good squad and hence is able to provide good performance and be higher in the standings but having inexperienced coach did provide some unwanted result so Kaplan could feel that gap from Nobre.

Therefore, Kaplan does have all reasons to get good results with this side if he gets some patience and support from administrators also.

Gaziantep Covid19 cases been raised to 3 among players.

Gaziantep has announced that 2 players and 2 personnel has got positive test results following Covid19 tests hence raising total tally of players to 3 in the club.

With Covid19 both actively spreading in rest of the world, Turkey and at football clubs in most active manner, Gaziantep is being also affected from it with its cases been raised to 3 with players not also returning from national duty which could also raise number of cases. It would be hoping to see for those players and personnel hopefully would have fast recovery without any negative circumstances.

Once again its crucial to remind into importance of football clubs to play specific attention to this rise of cases we experiencing finding ways to prevent it
