Fenerbahce needs to show strong game to get advantage against Slavia Prague.
Fenerbahce is going to return to European football with Conference League 2nd round game against Slavia Prague as this would be its last opportunity to end season at positive note and possibly even get title.
It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce as side is having pretty poor season and regardless of losing some players, Slavia Prague is still having pretty strong season in its domestic league and could provide some issues to Istanbul giant. Only positive note which could be seen from Fenerbahce is for getting good result against Giresunspor in the league with coming from 2:1 result but again Fenerbahce has been known during this season showing good performance occassionally but later continuing decline with its performance for few weeks, so Fenerbahce would need to show above average performance of this season in this game if it wants to get advantage score in this 1st leg. Therefore, Fenerbahce needs to show confident and attacking game in this game.
Fenerbahce sadly doesnt provide full hope for this game but in same time if it does show one of its best performance it can get win.
TFF and Besiktas are not happy with Murat Sancak accusation of referees to be FETO members.
TFF and its CEO Nihat Ozdemir have shown strong reaction among Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi towards Adana Demirspor CEO Murat Sancak after his criticism towards referees and calling some to be members of Fethullah Gulen group FETO.
It needs to be reminded that FETO is being currently number 1 enemy of Turkey due of possibly organisation of failed coup in Turkey and hence referring to any organisation or person to be involved to this organisation is being insult. Hence, such statements from Ahmet Nur Cebi has been seen as strong ones and even went for TFF to open case against him as both federation and Besiktas has called for Sancak to give specific names or otherwise his words would be seen meaningless. In addition, he has been referred to PFDK where there is expectation for him to get high amount of fine and ban which he did state himself is being expected to recieve.
This issue is expected to be continued with groups in this matter being directly involved and it would be interesting to see where it would develop to.
Double standard comments to referee does harm to whole Turkish football.
Even through performance of referees at the Turkish Super League and Turkish Cup without doubt is being very questionable and not very effective, old habit of clubs to throw blame towards referees has been risen against due of Adana Demirspor CEO Murat Sancak.
Sadly, this habit of being quiet when clubs are winning games is being more understandable towards referee is not seen when points not given. More importantly even through some clubs claim that they focus is not themselves but whole Turkish football and clubs, when they penalty is not given to opponent or to them when they win is being stated as referees can make mistakes, when they lose and its towards them suddenly that referee is being worst referee and should not be given to them for rest of the season even through position is exactly same. In fact, Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi did call Sancak to give double standards when commenting about referees due of issues mentioned above, but it is known that he has been doing same too while being CEO.
Criticising referees especially when things are not going well for you is not providing any good development to referee performance and quite opposite provides more pressure in upcoming games which lead to unwanted mistakes.
