What happened in Turkish football today? 27/03/2021


 

Turkey has got confident win against Norway with strong strategic game.

Turkish National Team has showed perfect start for its World Cup 2022 qualifiers with getting 6 points from its main rivals with beating this time Norway with 3:0 scoreline providing high level game not providing too much opportunities to opponents.

In fact, it needs to be noted that this game has been expected to be much more difficult compare to Holland game but with continuing its concentrated game with strong defensive game has led for side to get with such confidence. Even through, in positive aspect, Turkey did provide very similar tactical and strategical game, it did even make mistake during whole game which led for not conceding scoreline. Meanwhile, if Burak Yilmaz did become star player of the game, without doubt Ozan Tufan is being star tonight who did score an early goal which raised confidence to side while 3rd goal did end game for both sides. Tactically Turkey did allow Norway to control ball which been right decision, which it did perfectly with showing top-level game both when Turkey did control game and when it was with opponent. Without doubt, Turkey is showing its best game both physically and tactically with what being most importantly it did led them to become habit which would be big bonus both for rest of qualifiers and Euro2020 this summer.

Norway even through did have some possession, it didnt manage to provide strong pressure, only getting into some possible good opportunities in some moments but didnt provide too much high level which been expected from them. This result would led team to go through some thinking of such performance.

Turkish National Team got 2 out of 2 against its 2 main opponents for top position to get direct entry to World Cup 2022 and would come out to Latvia with high confidence and motivation on 31st March.

Aaron Boupendza has got positive Covid19  test result while being at national team. 

Hatayspor player Aaron Boupendza prior to World Cup 2022 qualifier between his side Gabon and Angola did get positive Covid19 test result and will not be playing during this qualifier, but more importantly to our page is will he be ready for Galatasaray.

Hatayspor did announce that there found out about Boupedendza from Turkish internet sites which does show that player very likely did get either Covid during last days in Turkey or when he had joined his national side. In addition, club has added that condition of player would become more clear when he would be joining side where it would be going through test likely as soon as he is back. Therefore, it is unclear his condition but without doubt did once again remind uncertain condition with virus as there is risk for Turkish and rest of world football clubs likely to be affected from this international break after players returns as due of travelling risk of Covid19 positive tests is being higher once again.

We provide fast recovery to Aaron Boupendza and hope players which would be infected from virus during this break will be kept minumum and will not affect clubs.

It is not know how ready Emre Belozoglu to be Fenerbahce coach.

After terminating contract with Erol Bulut following unsuccessful results and getting 5 points behind league leaders Besiktas which has game in hand with 11 weeks left in season, more focus has been given to readiness of Emre Belozoglu.

Within 1 years, Emre Belozoglu has been player, who has turned into sports director in summer and who in fact did play crucial role with appointing Erol Bulut and now would be taking caretaker role until end of the season at such crucial time for club which always brings some serious. Without doubt, Emre Belozoglu does have big potential as he had been great player and did play to some extend player-coach role towards end of the season but its not same when being coach with full focus. Lack of having training and education for such role and going with such club straight away might bring some unwanted outcomes both with results and also coaching career which tends to be expectation sadly in such condition. However, with being legend of side and respect in the club and still having some experience with being 2nd hand to Tahir Karapinar in last season does provide some hope on his perspective.

It is quesitonable how he would perform in the club for rest of the season, but if he does succeed he could be staying as coach for next season.
