What happened in Turkish football today? 02/11/2021



Besiktas would need to win Sporting Lisbon for seeing European football after New Year.

Besiktas would be returning to Champions League campaign seeking to get its 1st win in the competition against Sporting Lisbon as it would be aim to rise its chance to continue European journey in February.

Even through some people tend to see Besiktas performance to be not very poorly at the tournament, one thing is certain is that it didnt win single game and did lose some with some unexpected results which would be dissapointing when looking at the fact that its summer transfer window been focussed to build competitive side for the tournament. Besiktas is still have some injuries which would not be available for this game but it cant really state that it comes out with poor squad. Besiktas meanwhile did get some mistakes when coming to defence and this should be most important area where it should be focussing on as it did some unexpected mistakes on previous game as loss would mean end of its European journey very highly.

Besiktas would need to show much better game which it shown on previous 3 games in tournament if it wants to continue at Europe in 2022.

Club's Union doesnt want 7+3 foreign players limit next season.

Club's Union Ahmet Agaoglu has made some important statements following union meeting, and even through he did state similar lines regarding referee he also renew request to delay foreign player limit.

As it is known,foreign player limit would be reduced from 8+3 to  7+4 during next season which would lead for sides to revise its transfer focus during mid-season  and next summer and being heavily equipped with foreign players many clubs are not willing to do those changes which could be understood why Club's Union is having such request from TFF but federation has shown its detirmination. Stating that, this matter been discussed heavily but one thing is certain Turkish football when looking at performance is in decline and it would need to find solution and one of them is to find right systme according developing local players.

Until now, TFF except following Covid19 season didnt provide changes to foreign players limit and it would be interesting to see how it would respond for this request 

Fenerbahce could consider to sell Ozil during winter.

There has been interesting rumour going around which is Fenerbahce might be considering to sell its player Mesut Ozil during mid-season transfer window.

It is known, even through declined several times by media, that there seems to be issues between Mesut Ozil and Vitor Pereira which does provide some damage to the whole team, with rumours that issues also pleasant with different players. With Fenerbahce administration going through decision if Pereira should stay or not, if it decides to keep him for long-run which interestingly could be right decision, it could be considered to sell Ozil to reduce tension in the club as star player misunderstanding could only provide damage.

For now, this only being rumour but we would follow if any developments would happen in this matter
