What happened in Turkish football today? 25/03/2021




 

Turkish National Team has got great win against Holland with great game.

Turkish National Team got historical win against Dutch National Team during World Cup 2022 Group G 1st week with 4:2 scoreline at the game where Burak Yilmaz did become star with scoring hat-trick against one of the group favourites.

Even through Turkey did score 4 goals, it needs to be noted as would be expected that key of this result has been strong compact defensive game without letting Holland to get into much freedom during whole game. Turkish National Team in addition with its unusual performance provided patient and organised game which is been unusual for side which historically to know to play much into feeling. Without doubt main reason of this has been for  players to be playing in Europe top leagues hence getting to adapted to organised level game. Only issue which could be stated is of lack of concentration in 74-76th minute as game turned into 3:2 with putting win into risk but in overall this performance did provide high hopes for upcoming games without doubt.

This performance is being very impressive and certainly would provide to game against Norway which promises to be also pretty tough game and crucial for top spot in the group.

Hatayspor and Fenerbahce friendly been cancelled due of Covid19.

Friendly international game between Hatayspor and Fenerbahce, which has  been also wafocussed as even for Hatayspor openning its own stadium, has been cancelled due of 5 Covid19 cases at Fenerbahce.

Our blog in recent periods didnt discuss much about Covid19, thankfully, as it didnt affect much to clubs but it needs to be noted that we are seeing big rise in recent period which has started 3rd wave, and Fenerbahce is being great example. Fenerbahce sports director Emre Belozoglu did mention that players are free to do what their want after training session which included going to restaurant, due of its being free and private time. Even through this statement is being correct, this blog as readers from last year especially during strict lockdown did mention that this stance is not right one and could have circumstances. Quite possibly, even through it is unclear, those spread did happen during one of this restaurant going. Players and clubs need to be careful as we entering to crucial stage of season.

Current rise of Covid19 cases and Fenerbahce rise of cases should be reality check to all clubs for sure.

Juventus are interested to transfer Milan player Hakan Calhanoglu.

With summer transfer window first transfer rumours start coming out both in Turkey and rest of the world, without doubt one of the most interesting rumour has been Juventus interest with Milan player Hakan Calhanoglu.

With Milan and Hakan Calhanoglu not looking to be extending contract in the end of the season, Calhanoglu interest around Europe is expected to be pretty as he is showing great season with his side and with Juventus not having great season, it is reported that side does show interest with player. There are strong rumours regarding with Galatasaray move, especially him being that club supporter. However, even through if he ever comes to Turkey he would be going to Galatasaray, right now he is being at top form with getting good offers from European clubs, especially from giants like Juventus, he would be going to them and that would be right decision.

It does look like this transfer rumour would be discussed even more with summer approaching and even if it would not, Calhanoglu next club rumours could be one of the most discussed issues in summer transfer window.
