What happened in Turkish football today? 16/11/2021



Turkey gets win against Montenegro and got runners-up spot at the group.

Turkish National Team gets win against Montenegro with 2:1 scoreline and gets into play-off round of the World Cup qualifiers while in parallel game Holland have won Norway with 2:1 scoreline.

It needs to be noted that game did start with pretty performance from Turkey as it conceded goal from Bergaj on 4th minute and did have issues to get into the game until 25th minute Kerem Akturkoglu at the game where Turkey didnt have any option apart of winning it. Even through Turkey didnt provide very good dominant game during 1st half, with Montenegro managed to get upper hand in some moments, Turkey did look to be more focussed and motivated during 2nd half possibly to of 0:0 scoreline at Holland game at that moment. It needs to be mentioned that both Kerem Akturkoglu and Okrun Kokcu been great and well-fought goals, with Kokcu been done from distance and couldnt been prevented much from goalkeeper. In overall, it needs to be stated that head coach Stefan Kuntz did come at difficult time but giving all his effort for team success did very important achievement for helping side ending at 2nd spot as 4-games there were not much hopes.

It needs to be stated that even through Montenegro did come for formality game its been highly concentrated and did provide strong concentrated game focussing to get win and prevent Turkey and did their opponents get fought win.

Stefan Kuntz did have impressive achievement and now side would be waiting for semi-final opponent at World Cup 2022 knockout qualifying stage which would become clear on 26th November as there difficult opponents.

Olimpiu Morutan has become injured

Galatasaray player Olimpiu Morutan has become injured during international team duty and didnt attend to today's training session which does provide some worries prior to Fenerbahce derby game but seriousness of injury is not being clear right now.

Without doubt such development would make Galatasaray technical staff and supporters to become worried but until derby game there is still long time and from what it is reported, injury is not being very serious but without doubt did affect for not attending to training session. Olimpiu Morutan did provide in recent weeks pretty strong performance playing important role for some wins which side got in both domestic and Europe and hence would be important loss if injury would be serious. It would be expected for Fatih Terim very likely currently to go through alternative players who could be playing at derby game.

Therefore, time would show if player would be ready or not but everyone who involved in club would hope Morutan will be able to play against Fenerbahce.

Wolverhampton Wanderers interested to sign Enner Valencia

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reported to be interested to transfer Fenerbahce player Enner Valencia during mid-season transfer window.

Enner Valencia without doubt does have very successul season right now and therefore it shouldnt be surprise that number of clubs would be interested to sign him. He did provide important role in some of the games where side did get crucial points due of his contribution in the attacks both with scoring goals and creating opportunities. It would be hence interesting to see if Wolverhampton Wanderers rumour is being true and what kind offer would be given.

It could be expected for Valencia to recieve some number of offers during winter and we would follow this story.
