What happened in Turkish football today? 16/03/2022



Galatasaray would be coming out to Barcelona game with strong self-belief.

Galatasaray would be coming out to 2nd leg game against Barcelona at its home for Europa League 2nd leg game at home ground with high optimism as it showed good performance against Besiktas and also ended 1st leg with 0:0 scoreline.

Its been known for long time at Turkish football, that due of strong supporters its been advantegous for Turkish clubs to play 2nd leg at home ground as long as it gets good scoreline from 1st leg and this been case in this game without doubt. Galatasaray is showing strong improvement in recent weeks especially at defence which it would need to provide at high level without doubt as Barcelona would be expected to show strong attacking game in similar manner which it did during previous round against Napoli. Galatasaray would need to provide hence strong defensive game which been case against them during 1st leg game and possibly use opportunity attacking opportunity if its gets one.

Galatasaray would be coming out with strong self belief hence against Barcelona but it needs to be respectful to giant opponent to get good result.

Yeni Malatyaspor CEO Adil Gevrek calls for this season not to be registered.

With 12 referees been taking away from list for last weeks in the Super League, Yeni Malatyaspor CEO Adil Gevrek has stated that this ongoing season should not be registered as those referees affected to final standings.

It still been unclear and unexpected by many decision to not accept 12 referees and quite understandable provides ongoing reactions from various sources, with Adil Gevrek stating that side has lost many points and its been affected to all clubs including Trabzonspor with standings would be different right now. Stating that with due respect of Trabzonspor and this statement has nothing to do with them, it would be unfair to register this season as this decision has affects entirely to final standings.

It would be interesting to see how TFF would respond as there possibility he would recieve some fine as did Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc for similar statements.

Burak Elmas considers to leave Clubs Union due of misunderstandings.

Galatasaray CEO Burak Elmas has stated that he could be leaving Clubs Union as there is lots of misunderstandings been club and Clubs Union and it does look to be being case in the future.

Burak Elmas statement is related to the issues with referees, broadcasting rights issues and other matters and states that club doesnt take same stance with union and hence it would not be useful for them to stay there. Without doubt its not clear if Elmas is really considering for such action or is being strong message to Clubs Union but if such decision would be made if would provide harm both to Union and to the club without doubt as it aims to part to provide interests of clubs to TFF with providing some pressure to them.

It would be interesting how this statement would develop into relationship between parties which we would be following.
