Turkey been relegated due of not taking tournament seriously.
Turkish National Team has been relegated to League C at Nations League after what could be seen in overall poor performance at group stage but especially during last week game against Hungary where win could promote to elite league.
Following very good performance during Euro 2020 qualifiers where it didnt lose to France, there was high expectations from this site but it didnt provide strong performance at all without dominating game for 90 minutes but did so in some games during 2nd half, most notably against Russia in away game. One of the main reason which been mentioned several times has been taken this tournament not to serious while all its opponent did do that which includes Russia for sure even through it didnt end tournament in way it wanted. Playing against site which focus is much more serious without doubt did affect its performance. Meanwhile, in tragic manner it needs to reminded that Turkey also relegated to lower league in previous tournament but due some changes in tournament been kept in this league. Sadly, it does look like Turkey is currently being on level of League C.
Not taking this tournament serious let them to be eliminated, and even through some might thing this is not importanit it did damage to side prestige and morale.
Besiktas player Utku Yuvakuran has become injured
Besiktas player Utku Yuvakuran has become injured during training session hence providing issue with goalkeeper as Ersin Destanoglu got 2-game ban from previous game.
With all fairness with arleady having serious issues with goalkeepers during this season, it has become even more serious with both of main alternative has become injured which would likely mean for goalkeeping position to be taken with academy player who doesnt have much experience in this level while playing title holders Basaksehirspor who are great form right now and with many players having Covid19 does provide serious issue for Sergen Yalcin to come up with perfect starting 11 at all. Therefore, injuries and Covid19 cases is being serious issue with infected number could possibly rise prior to matchday test results which would provide much issue to make perfect squad and strong substition.
Besiktas are being among highly affected from Covid19 and with some injuries it would be pretty far from ideal squad against Basaksehirspor.
It still would be fault of clubs and players into deciding season outcome, not Covid19
Even through Covid19 does have negative impact to the club, losing or winning title would not be determined not by this virus but more how club and players would be acting in this period in their social life and facilities.
Foremost, its important to note that noone is save from this virus with some people who been at home for 24/7 since February are reported to be infected from Covid19 cases, so here any player does have risk with certainly every club in Super League would be affected from this. However, there is some actions which could be taken to reduce possibility for infection both indoor and more importantly when being outdoors, hence reason why we seeing 8 cases from Istanbul club while none in other club from same city. Therefore, high number at 1 club in specific time or generally does provide lack of players to take needed actions. Behaviour of players in social life obviously is hard to control, but clubs could provide needed information into how their could protect themselves from virus to minumum and how they should act. Lack of this would naturally raise number of cases in club among carelessness from club.
Hence, it does look that Covid19 would not decide winner of this season but how clubs and players are acting to prevent getting it.
