What happened in Turkish football today? 24/05/2021



 Nihat Ozdemir states 20-team league is being too much while defending its last summer.

TFF CEO Nihat Ozdemir continues with providing contracting statements and decisions as he stated that Super League would be returned to 18-teams in few years time while prior to start of last season he was supporting 20-team side.

Nihat Ozdemir during interview to league broadcaster has stated that 20-team league would be tough one and is not suitable for Turkish football while he was saying opposite prior to last season while defending it as we had 21-team league. Even more importantly if such project is tough one and old system does work why it went through changes which even through does provide goodwill to sides which been relegated, it did provide difficult period for all clubs where each side did struggle including champions. Sadly, TFF CEO Nihat Ozdemir either does have issues with foreseeing situation which was clear with some decision during pandemic period or makes decisions spontaneously. Such management surely is not good thing for Turkish football development.

Sadly, we are having unstable administration which in few days time could  change once again to 20-team league.

Burak Yilmaz became star of Lille's Ligue  1 title.

Lille has become Ligue 1 champions due of big thanks to Turkish stars in the side Burak Yilmaz, Yusuf Yazaci and Umut Meras writing history both in Turkish and French football.

Without doubt, main focus should be given to Burak Yilmaz who in age of 35 has moved to European club, which could be seen to be pretty late and played one of the most important role for side to be getting French title and getting big love from side supporters and French sports media. Such great results without doubt did rises questions why Yilmaz has waited for so long to move to Europe as this blog in previous years did criticise Yilmaz for not going to Europe when he got chances. Still, he did show great performance and would be going to Euro 2020 as most-known and biggest start which certainly would affect how side would be performing at the tournament.

Burak Yilmaz has written history both to Lille and Ligue 1 and only dissapointment was him to join side to late.

Kasimpasa has extended contract with Senol Can for 1-year

Kasimpasa has extended contract with its head coach Senol Can for 1-year as he joined side in the end of the season and did get some good and impressive results in the end of the season.

Senol Can whose aim was to secure club into Super League in several weeks before end of the league which he did do got reward from club with signing 1-year contract as he did show strong confident game with his side with showing strong competitive game.Therefore, such record should be rewarded by Kasimpasa as he would be now likely to be focussing with his side to become stronger for next season and possibly keep side further from relegation during whole season fighting even possible for European spot as both current squad and his capacity could achieve that.

Surely, Kasimpasa would have strong focussed summer transfer period and we would keep on eye as with all 20 clubs.
