What happened in Turkish football today? 11/03/2021

 

Basaksehirspor is expected to be extra motivated for Besiktas game.

Besiktas will be entering to 3 very important games which could be turning point for them at its title race and its going to be starting this period against Basaksehirspor in the Super League where it would be favourite but still expected to be tough game.

Basaksehirspor on their perspective are having pretty poor condition being close to relegation zone but their did gain motivation from previous week game against Hatayspor getting good win in sense of morale which would help them to be higher motivated for Besiktas among being game against big club. Besiktas on their part, even through could be argued show still best game, does show some decline in level of game with focussing more into scoreline then good game as it did lose almost 2 points last week. One of the key aspects for Basaksehirspor is possibly focus into what they do best for rest years which would be showing strong organised defence as Besiktas does have this issue when scoreline is 0:0.

Besiktas are favourites for game but it would be expected for them to be difficult  game with Basaksehirspor expects to be coming with high focus into it.

Caner Erkin been forgiven by club.

Fenerbahce has forgiven its player Caner Erkin following his reactions when being substituted during 27th week game against Goztepe among on-going criticism towards head coach Erol Bulut.

With Fenerbahce showing strong reaction to behaviour of Caner Erkin which could be seen as disrespectful to Erol Bulut and his assistants, with getting him out of squad which led for Erkin to go through for his action and provide forgiveness to whole team with getting message that such behaviour will not be tolerated both to him and rest of the side. This development is also been very good development as side enters to last 12 weeks in the season and would be having to be in use with his great crosses which during this seasons brought some important points which currently keeps side at title race. 

Fenerbahce led for player to go through his actions in this period which led him to do right thing with apologizing and would lead him to be more careful in upcoming period.

Merih Demiral has become injured for 20 days. 

Unwanted news has been come from Italy, as Juventus player Merih Demiral has become injured and will not be able to play for 20 days which includes World Cup qualifiers against Holland and Norway.

Without dount Merih Demiral is being currently one of the best players in Turkey and being also key player at Juventus with his defensive performance so this news would be dissapointing will not be bad for national side to Juventus, which doesnt have ideal season losing dominance both domestically and at Europe. Right now as always player would need to focus into fast recovery from injury and make sure he would be returning at very good condition after injury while Turkey does have some good alternatives in his position for national games even through his level of game could be missing. 

We would wish him fast recovery and would follow development of this injury in our accounts.
