What happened in Turkish football today? 09/12/2020



 Basaksehirspor looked to be affected from events which took place on day before.

PSG has got confident win against Basaksehirspor during last week of the Champions League 6th week game which been dominated from racist comments from 4th referee on yesterday, which possibly did affect into focus of the Basaksehirspor when game been restarted.

Basaksehirspor who did come out to the game, compare to PSG, in sense of formality as it was clear that it would end this campaign at last place did come out as underdogs and with events which took place its been curious how both side would be performing, with PSG been more concentrated. It needs to be noted however that when game did restarted Gulbrandsen did get very good 2 opponents which does kind of show that team been motivated and wanted to show strong reaction following events which took place on day before but when Neymar did score his 1st goal which been carried on with 3 more goals in short period of time, Basaksehirspor started losing belief and concentration with as been noted its didnt have any role. Still, it would be pleasant to be seen for side to be slighly calmer, especially Enzo Crivelli, but still togetherness did been felt during game for sure.

PSG on their return managed to be more concentrated to the game as win would help them to end group stage at the top of the group and with high concentration helped them to get win, even through more importantly they would been remembered with their stance taken on previous night.

Basaksehirspor and PSG did need to be coming out to this game not for ending group stage at the tournament, but show strong stance against racism and their just did that with strong right attitude.

Basaksehirspor and PSG stance towards Sebastian Cortescu been right one.

Romanian referee Sebastian Cortescu usage of "n" word towards Basaksehirspor assistant coach Pierre Webo has overshadowed whole Champions League with both clubs showing protest towards Romanian referees actions, with getting strong support from PSG players.

Regardless why such statement been said and defence from Cortescu that he meant black player in Romanian without doubt doesnt provide him defence to provide such statement and without doubt been full shock at competition run by UEFA which always been strongly against racism action at any way. However, it is important to state that UEFA could not foresee such events, as noone could, so it doesnt deserve any blame and if does found Cortescu being quilty of racism would provide right action which could lead to lifetime ban without doubt. Now referring to philosopher Slavoj Zizek view that "silence/inaction" could be strongest form of violence, decision for Basaksehairspor to boycot referee for this game with support of PSG did provide right action and did send strong message without lots of protest,which by the way been treated by UEFA with full understanding.

This could be seen without doubt as turning point event in history of football and does send strong message.

Sivasspor would come out to most important game in its history.

Sivasspor without doubt would be coming out to most important in its history as it would be fighting for knockout spot in the game against Maccabi Tel-Aviv where it would need to win game to achieve this aim.

However, if in normal circumstances Sivasspor could be seen slightly favourites for this aim, with having its head coach Riza Calimbay and many players with positive test results, with 3 more been added today, it would be having some difficult moments without have much capacity to show its strong game in normal circumstances. However, it would be important for players to give highest focus towards game with aiming to show strong attacking game without forgetting defence. It needs to be noted that Maccabi Tel Aviv to who draw would be enough is aware that Sivasspor issues and would certainly aim to use this to its own advantages, which means Sivasspor needs to aim for best game.

It would be tough game for Sivasspor but their would need to give right reaction with high focus to this game and self-confidence.
