What happened in Turkish football today? 26/03/2021



Turkey would come out against Norway with strong confidence.

Following confident win against Holland, Turkey would be meeting with Norway at World Cup qualifier during 2nd week and taking account of recent performance of Norway game promises to be even more tougher then Holland for Turkey.

This doesnt mean of course that Turkey will not be able to get win against Norway as if it does provide similar performance which it did against Holland, it would be at worst draw. It still needs to mention however that Norway is having its best period in its footballing history having starts like Haaland, Odegaard and regardless of not great form at RB Leipzig Sorloth, which is known name in Turkey and also Sorloth knows Turkey pretty well. Still, it would be key for Turkey to show highly organised game which it showed it could manage in previous game with importance of defence would play crucial role against strong opponents. Even through draw would be seen as good result, win during game will provide high hopes to fight for top spot with both getting needed motivation and confidence plus getting 6 points from its main opponents.

Its hard to call favourites for this game, but Turkey does have advantage which it got from Holland game without doubt.

Fenerbahce terminates contract with Erol Bulut.

Fenerbahce has terminated contract with its head coach Erol Bulut which even through been expected movement, it did come in pretty unexpected time as club has appointed sports director Emre Belozoglu until end of the season as caretaker coach.

Even through it is true that Fenerbahce didnt get good results with Erol Bulut with having such risk squad as side didnt show continious strong performance winning away but losing at home, statistics which showed reverse of classical form (in fact its case for all clubs). But it needs to be reminded that Fenerbahce did change in total of 3 coaches in 3 years (not counting caretaker coaches) without ending season with any of them. This does raise if Ali Koc management of this issue is being done well as such frequent changes is not expectable. With Fenerbahce mathematically still having league title chances appointing Emre Belozoglu, who is legendary name for club, but without any coaching experience could be very risky move and even put this season into more difficulty at top spots. Still, maybe Belozoglu would be able to solve issues.

It is true that Erol Bulut didnt get great result especially having such great players at disposal, but club needs to go through why it changes coaches so frequently.

Besiktas has set transfer fee of Cyle Larin as 10 million euro.

Besiktas does consider to sell its player Cyle Larin during summer transfer window, but with player showing great performance in side and in addition scoring hat-trick with Canada on previous day leads side to do so with good economical gain.

With looking at performance of player side has decided to set 10 million euro. In normal, circumstances, Besiktas would be focussing into keeping player with such great performance with likely becoming one of key player for potential title, but Besiktas did decide to sell him and currently administrative see him more on economical cases. This could be some extend due of poor performance in previous reason which does worry for player to show decline once again. Stating that if player would continue showing good performance he could be easily sold to top club in summer.

Cyle Larin does have potential to provide big economical gain to Besiktas during upcoming summer period with this performance.
