What happened in Turkish football today? 17/11/2020



Turkey still has possibility to get to League A.

Turkish National Team are going to play its Nations League 2nd league 3rd group game against Hungary with possibility of getting promotion to highest league if it manages to beat opponent and Serbia helps them.

With 4 sides being on the group, all 3 have opportunity to end group stage in the top of the league and get promoted to elite league, with Turkey being underdog among those 3 sides as Russia has 9 points, Hungary 8 and Turkey 6 points with having advantage with Russia from head-to-head, thanks to 3:1 win against them on 15th November. With winner of this fixture making step closer, it would be also important for Serbia to lose game. However, Serbs do come out to game with 3 points and is fighting to stay in the league. Therefore, with Turkey winning game would reduce motivation of Serbia while playing against highly motivated Russia. Therefore, opportunity for Turkey to end group at top are low but still exist and it would be crucial for them to play with belief they would get top spot for 90 minutes.

This game would at least decide team which would end group at 2nd even at least and this would provide motivation to both sides for sure.

3 more players at Galatasaray got positive test results.

Spreading of Covid19 is still taking place in high speed, as it also does in whole Turkey, as 3 more positive test resutls has come from Galatasaray making totally tally to 5.

One of the players who has announced himself, has been Arda Turan which from his actions and behaviour did show that he is highly aware of this virus and tries to take precautions but even this being case it is clear it could not be enogh. Our blog states that this virus can hit anyone, but its on hands on people to reduce possibility of getting some. With having 5 players with virus for Galatasaray also will not be good news for them as there were aiming to provide good performance following national team break and some of this players are reported to be regulars.

Our blog as always wishes fast recovery to all players and whole community who got this unwanted virus.

Internal ministry not expected to allow Galatasaray CEO election

With number of cases rising up and new limitations been announced today for fight against Covid19 in community, it does look like Galatasaray CEO election would be cancelled with such circumstances.

In fact, number of Galatasaray administrative members and football pundits believe that Galatasaray that Mustafa Cengiz did announce this CEO election on purpose being aware that it would not be taking place giving image that he tries to show that he does provide some action of high level criticism. In fact, even through 3 CEO candidates to work on like there would be taking place, high amount of members, rightfully, expecting for election not to be allowed not providing any action. Therefore, it would be interesting to see how this story would be developing and what would be action of Cengiz if election would be cancelled.

With current condition in country with number of cases and deaths it is unlikely Internal Ministry would allow CEO election to take place.
