What happened in Turkish football today? 20/07/2021


 

Galatasaray would need to give extra effort against PSV Eindhoven.

Galatasaray will become 1st side to be openning 2021-22 season as it would be playing against PSV Eindhoven at Champions League 2nd qualifying round as it would be meeting with side which does have strong and successful history at European tournaments.

It is true that PSV Eindhoven are not going through its best period in its history at recent years but it is hard to note that Galatasaray are coming out at very good form with missing some of its crucial key players and are having some important absences at midfielding so it is hard to see Galatasaray opponent. In fact, it could be noted that chances in this tie are being 50/50 and in which case Galatasaray would need to provide extra effort as it always needs to do at Champions League. Therefore, side needs to be focussing into this game entirely and provide its best game as their opponent would certainly do that during game.

Therefore, Galatasaray needs to focus into this game with high concentration if it wants to get good outcome.

Fenerbahce has cancelled Slovenian training camp.

Fenerbahce has cancelled its Slovenian pre-season training camp due of uncertainty of Covid19 both in Turkey and around Europe with Turkish clubs looks to be staying in Turkey for pre-season training camp.

With Turkey having so much strong football facilities there is not much loss for Turkish clubs for cancelling its European visit apart of potentially playing with some good clubs friendly game which are also based them.With upcoming season could be still pretty tough one it is crucial to start season well and hence without doubt clubs are focussed not to risk with travelling outside country and have some risks of getting Covid19 with season getting closer. It does look like Turkish clubs would be staying in Turkey unless its needed to visit such as UEFA competitions qualifiers.

Hence, main focus of this summer pre-season training camp is being focussed into training at home with playing friendlies with its counterparts.

Besiktas needs to focus more into negotiations if it wants to keep Rachid Ghezzal

Battle for Rachid Ghezzal between Besiktas and Galatasaray continues with it looking like Besiktas more busy with criticising opponent action in this period while Galatasaray continues with negotiations.

Fighting for one player even if he played at one of the clubs beforehand as loan player, does happen all the time as clubs and players in professional world, like it or not, choose team which provides better conditions especially with financially. Besiktas reaction even through emotionally understandbly, Galatasaray is not technically doing anything wrong. In fact,if Besiktas did have control of situation it would not show such reaction frequently right now. It is hence reported that Galatasaray with 4 million euro does provide much better offer and much closer to make deal between sides.

Galatasaray are closer to make transfer with Rachid Ghezzal and Besiktas needs to give good offer to Leicester City if it wants to keep player for next season.
