What happened in Turkish footall today? 29/06/2021

 Supporters could start coming back to games since 1st July.

Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca during today's briefing of Covid 19 has announced that there is no issue for sports supporters to be attending to events which includes football events which does provide optimistic view.

With Covid19 situations more or less being normalised in Turkey despite of some danger of delta variant and almost all regulations been lifted on 1st July, there has been without doubt positive view for bring supporters back after 15 months since first case of Covid19 been introduced in Turkey. Once again it needs to be noted that this situation could be changing but with vaccination in Turkey is going very fast, there are without doubt positive trend which could make return of supporters to field into safety. Stating that expecting for supporters to be back for 100% capacity still likely be premature due of condition and would need to be made step-by-step which is likely to be decided by TFF for its own guidelines.

Sadly, delta variant of virus still provides some worries which been seen by some countries but there is some light in the end of the tunnel and things does seem to be getting back to normal slowly.

Cuneyt Cakir has refereed 9th Euro game in his career.

Turkish referee has become most referee from country to referee at European Championship as he refereed his 9th game during historical Euro 2020 last 16 game between Spain and Croatia ended being 8-goal thriller with historical performance of both sides.

Without doubt this game has been among best games of whole tournament and possibly at top games of whole Euro history and Cuneyt Cakir with his positive attitude towards both players without doubt did affect to this exciting game as we have seen more or less this positive performance from referees without affecting too much into outcome of the game. Cuneyt Cakir in all fairness has always showed very good and top performance during major tournaments which includes Euro 2020, and possibly he would get one more crucial game in this tournament even through hoping for final could be too optimistic, but there is strong possibility for one of the semi-final.

Cuneyt Cakir did good job during yesterday game and in overall and does deserve to referee one more game in this tournament.

Trabzonspor signed Marek Hamsik for 2-years.

Trabzonspor has signed Marek Hamsik for 2-years at press conference as player did come more or less straightaway after his side has been relegated at Euro 2020 as he looks to be one of the main big transfers both for Trabzonspor and whole Super League sides during this summer transfer window.

It is true that Hamsik is not providing same level of performance due of his age but he still being highly quality player which is expected to be providing needed strength for his side which does focus to provide much more stronger side for upcoming season with focus into getting into title race without doubt. With Trabzonspor providing effective and direct transfer negotiations with Hamsik led him to get this deal without much doubt and without doubt fact that Hamsik wants to play at European club at regular pace has made those transfer negotiations much easier. Only worrying issue that for many years some players which made their names didnt provide top performance seeing Turkey as last stop of their career so Trabzonspor would be hoping this will not be case and player would show high level performance.

Marek Hamsik for sure has been very successful transfer deal for side and its not turn for player to show top level game.

 Trabzonspor has signed Fode Koita for 3-years.

Trabzonspor has transferred Fode Koita for 3-years as player did provide very good performance in previous season at Kasimpasa as club would be expecting for him to continue such performance on side.

During press conference of signing, Trabzonspor CEO Ahmet Agaoglu did state that there is expectation for every player to be showing high level performance and there is no fortunate for players to get time to get used to this side. By stating that without doubt Ahaoglu did send message of high pressure which he would be using to Koita and also expectation from him to provide high level performance from start. It is known that when players come from medicore side they are struggling to show top level performance from beginning and hence Agaoglu states that player should be ready for top level performance from beginning. Stating that, club will not sign player if it didnt believe that he could be providing this level performance from beginning.

Fode Koita does have strong potential to show good game in his new side when watching how performed at Kasimpasa and is familiar to league is surely advantage.

Rizespor did extend contract with Bulent Uygun for 3-years.

Rizespor has extended contract with its head coach Bulent Uygun as he did show pretty good performance during previous season when taking account into expectations which did have and hence its been expected decision to extend contract with Uygun.

Stating that, quite naturally there would be expectation for side to provide stronger performance with club aims to be ending at mediocre position in the league at least and possibly even fighting for European spots as it does have potential to do so to some extend. With Bulent Uygun have strong experience at the Super League as coach he would be expected to provide strong and confident performance without doubt. Stating that, side does need to get some transfers as it been quite during this summer transfer window so far as in all fairness its squad is not strong enough to focus into top half of league.

Still, Bulent Uygun is being coach with strong experience and could lead for side to have some confident strong performance at Rizespor for sure.

Ozgur Ekmekcioglu has been reelected as Altay CEO.

Altay CEO Ozgur Ekmekcioglu has been reelected as club's CEO which been expected since he did raise his side to Super League from previous season but he needs to be aware that upcoming season would be tough one and needs to focus into building side accordingly.

Altay difficult task for Ekmekcioglu would be to build side and transfer players which would be into level of Super League but same time not spending too much cash which could be tough period as many sides does have some serious financial side. Stating that, there is advantage of having pretty good players in its hand from previous season which could provide good performance in the Super League so it could need to focus into some weak areas and not getting too much players as it did until now during this summer transfer window.One of the options to make stronger side also without spending too much cash is to loan some potential players from strong clubs in the league.

Therefore, Altay CEO Ozgur Ekmekcioglu task now would to focus to make strong competitive side for Super League without doubt.

 Rizespor players Mykola Moroziuk and Abdullah Durak has ended contract with side.

Rizespor has ended contracts with its players Mykola Moroziuk and Abdullah Durak after some successful performance in recent seasons but has decided not to continue with both players in upcoming seasons.

Both players even through didnt become key players and stars of the side during their stay in the league did play regular and important role in some of the successes or failures at the club and when looking at how both sides did perform it would be expected that both players would be transferred to mediocre Super League side during this summer even through there is possibility for Moroziuk to be going back in Ukraine or some other ex-USSR nation where he could be showing some good performance. Rizespor with this decision does show it doesnt have much plans with both players and hence likely looking for or being close to transfer some players in their place.

As always, our blog would follow new developments both to club and players during this summer transfer window.

Beijing Guoan didnt allow Slaven Bilic to leave to Fenerbahce.

Beijing Guoan are reported not allowing Slaven Bilic to be leaving head coach position during this summer transfer window, which hence led for Bilic to decline Fenerbahce offer despite of fact that there is been provisional agreement.

According to rumours, Slaven Bilic was looking warm to be joining Fenerbahce in short period of time with hints that coach which would been announced on 28th June would be Slaven Bilic, even through it might some different name to be announced within 24 hours. Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc did hint that there is difficulty with making specific deals with coaches around Europe due of uncertainty both in league and club but in same there is determination quite understandably to announce coach. With it looking not to be Slaven Bilic unless some development will take place, it is being unknown question who would be new coach.

There is possibility for new coach to be announced on 28th June and we would follow story on our blog with all significant developments.

Galatasaray close to sign Paulinho

One of the 1st transfer aims of newly elected Galatasaray CEO Burak Elmas seems to be Paulinho, as it is reported that Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim also wants for player to be joining side this summer.

It does look like now that main priority for Galatasaray is being Paulinho as club focusses into transferring player to be joining side prior to PSV Eindhoven Champions League qualifier and even make sure he would be ready to be playing and be physically and mentally ready. There is seems to be talks right now regarding salary which player would be recieving as deal is getting closer with high possibility that player would arrive to Istanbul in duration of next week to have direct negotiations with club.

With Paulinho getting close to join Galatasaray we would follow this story with all details.

 Cuneyt Cakir will referee Croatia and Spain game

.As would been expected, Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir continues his work at Euro 2020 as he has been appointed to tough and important game of last 16 between Croatia and Spain and this being game which is expected to be played at high tempo with both sides focussing into win.

As it been case at Euro 2016, Cuneyt Cakir without doubt did provide much better performance compare to national team side without making too much mistakes in previous two games and since noone talked about him only proves how successful he did perform during this tournament and could be continuing getting some games in upcoming games. It needs to be noted that even through both Croatia and Spain, both sides didnt provide specifically very good performance at group stage and hence both sides would be focussing into getting to next stage in such game which would affect to character of the game and hence Cuneyt Cakir would be needed to focus as both sides would provide strong fighting spirit. Stating that Cuneyt Cakir does have strong experience and hence he would be able to show good game.

It would be tough game for Cuneyt Cakir and he would needed to provide full focus for 90 minutes or even more as it would game with both sides giving their best but he would be able to show nice performance.

TFF likely to stay as head coach of national team side.

It became clear that TFF has intentions to be working with Senol Gunes as Turkish National Team head coach and would give him strong support for World Cup qualifiers as federation did have two options.

It needs to be noted that Senol Gunes despite of poor performance at Euro 2020 without doubt, has been name which did bring side into this tournament and also very good start of World Cup 2022 qualifiers so sacking him would be tough and unfair decision but this tournament did show that everyone who has been involved needs to return from mistakes which been made during this competition with Senol Gunes. Therefore, if TFF would decide to keep him for World Cup which it looks to be doing, Gunes and TFF also would need to go through why it had such poor results both on the field and also outside of the field as why players didnt provide strong performance which includes pre-Euro 2020 preparation so it could have much better outcome at World Cup 2022 if it manages to get through.

It does look like Senol Gunes would stay as coach but he needs to recognise and find solution for issues at Euro2020 poor game.

Ali Koc has been reelected as Fenerbahce CEO.

Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc has been reelected at CEO election where he did run as single candidate and hence in overall club seems to be continuing giving him support but as he would start new reign, he needs to get results.

Fenerbahce did provide so far very dissapointing performance in the league without getting any titles, and even through it could be argued that there were some improvement signs by each season it still not been enough to get even close for expectation even during previous season. Therefore, Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc when starting his new reign in the club does need to aware of mistakes he made in previous season which includes direct connection with his team which includes  finally finding strong and long-term coach and also making right transfers in similar manner which it did get with likes like Atilla Szalai similarly. There is still high majority support given to Ali Koc but he would lose it if he makes similar mistakes in upcoming years.

Ali Koc is staying at the club for upcoming 3-years but he would need to respond to mistakes which he made in previous 3 years.

Sivasspor has signed Koray Altinay for 2-years.

Sivasspor has transferred Koray Altinay who did provide strong performance during previous season at Fatih Karagumruk and now to all respect to opponents would be playing for side which does have bit higher aims for upcoming season. 

Even through 2-year contract could be seen as short period signing from Sivasspor, it could be noted that this deal could be more or less due of age of player and also possible different changes at the team with Riza Calimbay possibly leaving side after 2 seasons which does show this signature did come from Calimbay demands. As been noted, Altinay did provide pretty good performance at Fatih Karagumruk both when side did been promoted on one season earlier and also strong performance during 1st season of side at Super League ending league at top 10 position. It would be highly expected for him to show strong confident performance in upcoming season.

This transfer hence has been good one for side and could lead for side to have some high aims in upcoming season for Sivasspor. 

Antalyaspor has transferred Dogukan Nilik and Ersin Zehir for 5 years.

Antalyaspor has made two transfers with providing focus into future both of players and club as it signed Dogukan Nilik and Ersin Zehir for 5-years making it clear that it has full trust to both players.

So far, this transfer window been mainly dominated with mediocre sides transferring young players who could develop into strong players hence providing potential gain both for Turkish football and future finances of the club if they would be sold. Without doubt both Dogukan Nilik and Ersin Zehir could be strong potential for future stars which been also shown by fact that both players been transferred for 5-years. With getting adapted to team with training session in upcoming month, it would be adapted to team and could be expected to show strong confident performance when season would be starting on August as both players could show strong game. 

Antalyaspor so far does continue with focussing into potential stars and this transfer politics is being good one and could lead for team to become competitive side.

Giresunspor has made loan deal for Galatasaray player Okan Kocuk. 

It is reported that Giresunspor has made loan deal with Galatasaray player Okan Kocuk which could be good news for all parties without doubt.

With Fernando Muslera being at Galatasaray, the chances for other goalkeepers to get playing time is getting almost none unless he gets injured as was case. Hence, being at club side for goalkeeping would prevent to develop especially taking account that Okan Kocuk would love to get some playing time. Hence, moving to this side would be good opportunity for him to get some playing time especially taking account that he is being good goalkeeper he would provide help for side in oppening season. With Okan Kocuk getting some crucial playing time and Galatasaray seeing for their player who it might be using in future more regular to get some playing time without doubt would make this loan into win situation for all parties.

This loan deal officially expected to be announced in short period and we would be following this story without doubt.

 Hatayspor has transferred Kamil Ahmet Corekci for 3-years.

Hatayspor has transferred Trabzonspor ex-player Kamil Ahmet Corekci as side continues to most active at transfer front with arguably making most eye-catching transfer on this day as Corekci even through wasnt regular in his old team did provide good performance.

Hatayspor during this summer transfer window as been noted beforehand in our blog does provide high focus both into young players and also being Turkish players which without doubt would be seen as important help to general Turkish football as it focuses into developing in same time competitive side for next season so it would be good experience both to players  and also club as players would be focussing to be providing strong confident performance as when their would be starting and providing confident strong performance. Without doubt Kamil Ahmet Corekci would be among them with focussing into providing strong performance which he showed at Trabzonspor in his new club.

Therefore, this has been without doubt a very good transfer for all parties as Corekci would get opportunity to develop as player and provide good game to side.

Alanyaspor has transferred Oguz Aydin for 5-years.

Alanyaspor has transferred young potential player from Bursaspor 1922 Oguz Aydin for 5-years hence providing strong trust to the player with developing into future.

Despite of getting far from title race as entering to last games in past 2 seasons, it needs to be noted that Alanyaspor is being among sides which does provide strong performance and does help players to be developing so without doubt move from Oycan Aydin would big win for player as it would help to develop and possibly open door to big clubs in country as it tends to do so while such contract shows how much potential does club see with this youngster. To some extend, this transfer is also been replacement of Salih Ucan who is expected to be joining Besiktas in very short time.

Hence this transfer without doubt would be strong investment for future for Alanyaspor as Oguz Aydin does have potential.

Yeni Malatyaspor has made transfer deal with Mete Meric Altintas.

Yeni Malatyaspor which would be focussed to have calmer season compare to previous one has made transfer deal with defender of Hekimoglu Trabzon player Mert Meric Altintas.

As other players in today's blog, Altintas is being young player who does have some strong expectations for future which without doubt has been main focus during this transfer as it would be expecting that he would be able to provide some confident performance and also develop into better player which player would also take account when moving to side among experience Super League. Therefore, this could be also very good investment for upcoming season to Yeni Malatyaspor even through it does need to focus into making even more transfers in this summer if it wants to have successful season without shocks which it had previous 2 seasons.

This transfer is good one for club but it needs to continue with its transfers in upcoming period without doubt and we would how it would to do so in our blog.

 Fatih Karagumruk has transferred injured player Raniya Baniya.

Fatih Karagumruk player Raniya Baniya had an operation after being transferred on previous day with being expected to be starting training session which is been unsual decision from club to transfer player which been injured before hand.

It needs to be noted that Fatih Karagumruk is showing with such transfer strong trust towards player who is being half Italian and half Turkish and hence continuing to transferring player which did compete in Italy as he did play in 2nd division side. Even through not much known from player, such action from side does provide view that he has high level potential for club which would be aiming to carry on at least strong performance in previous season possibly fighting for Conference League spots as long as it will not experience 2nd season syndrome. While big clubs tend to keep away from problematic players in sense of injuries, Fatih Karagumruk did provide trust and hence player would like to respond accordingly after being recovered.

As been noted, it does look like Fatih Karagumruk is showing trust to players and time would show if he would be providing response accordingly later.

Basaksehirspor has transferred Anderlecht player Peter Zulj.

Basaksehirspor which without doubt would have an aim not repeat disastrous previous season and fighting for top place did transfer Anderlecht player Peter Zulj who did show some good performance at Goztepe during previous season where he been loaned.

Showing strong and confident performance at Goztepe previous season, such transfer would also mean that it would not have issue with getting used to Super League as been noted he did show good confident strong performance, scoring number of goals for Goztepe. Club to get into competitive level would need to get even more transfers without doubt, but this move would provide big help for at least to have better performance compare to previous season. Therefore, there would be high number of expectations from him which he would have capacity to fulfill without doubt as it clear that Zulj did enjoy his time in Turkey as he moved to Basaksehirspor.

As been noted Basaksehirspor to improve from past season needs to get very good transfers and Zulj is being right one to achieve this aim.

Blaming loss to Italy in openner for other 2 poor performance is wrong perspective and psychology.

Going back to unsuccessful performance of Turkey at Euro 2020 which been surprising for all Turkish and international followers,its been noted that everyone involved with team blames to poor game against Italy but this view is very wrong if it wants to compete in major tournaments.

It is true that Italy provided very strong performance against Turkey with more preventing opponent to play its own game, providing strong game which proved them to be main favourite for title, however not responding to such loss should be questioned. Following Switzealand during press conference, one of the Turkish journalists did ask that main focus is been given to Italy game due of poor performance, but Switzealand also lost to Italy in similar manner but provided good game against Turkey. Reason for this has been that Switzealand has led Italy game to be stayed behind and getting lessons from that loss provided its strong game in next game while Turkey has failed to do so. Main reason, is emotionality of team which it couldnt overpass and been main reason both for good and bad results. Turkey needs to find ways how to bounce back and solution without doubt is being with head coach. Hence, Senol Gunes stating he is taking all blame for bad result is entirely true in this manner.

You lose and you win in football, and you could lose badly or with showing strong game but here it is important to respond from such outcomes. Germany did just that after very poor game against France during Portugal game, Denmark did that when entering to Russia game with 0 points. Turkey needs to learn this without doubt.

Cakir did good job during Austria-Ukraine game.

As been case with Euro 2016, it does look like Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir did got one step further then Natonal Team side as he did provide pretty good and confident performance during Group C last week game between Austria-Ukraine and likely to get at least one more game at knockout stage.

Cuneyt Cakir did provide pretty strong and confident refereeing which without doubt did come from lack of pressure which Turkish referees does feel especially it has been one of the most crucial game in last week games as winner would get direct entry to knockout while loser could not get top 4 spot of 3rd spots sides. But as been noted he did show strong confident performance making some strong decisions and providing good posture, but in same time didnt affect into final outcome of the game. Without doubt UEFA would been satisfied with such performance from Cuneyt Cakir and would hence recieve some more games during knockout stage of the tournament.

Hence, Cuneyt Cakir once again did get further in major tournaments compare to national team side and is expected to continue such form.

Sergen Yalcin feels that new contract doesnt fulfill his achievements.

Uncertainty regarding of future of Besiktas head coach Sergen Yalcin is being uncertain as deal is not made between sides even through of on-going negotiations as it rumoured that Yalcin considers to leave side.

It is reported that Sergen Yalcin is being unhappy for such low offer has been to him from club, even through club's CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi did state that it couldnt spend much cash in his salary due of his financial issue but quite rightly Yalcin believes that he deserves much more salary when he got double from previous season. Slow movement from Besiktas administration without providing solution to this issue does provide also worry for Sergen Yalcin and whole community as it is reported that Yalcin is seriously considering to leave team if club continues this stance in this negotiations as he believes he been cheated with not recieving enough salary even if he states its not high priority. Besiktas does seem to have this issue due of financial issues and now it needs to find way how to solve it with making all parties happy.

It is expected for final decision between sides to be made at short period and it would be announced as soon as it happens in our blog.
