What happened in Turkish football today? 29/03/2022



Turkey has lost to Italy with 3:2 scoreline at friendly game.

Turkish National Team has lost friendly game against Italy with 3:2 scoreline at home ground and despite of scoring goal on 4th minute, it needs to be stated that Turkey didnt provide good performance with making mistakes at the defence.

When looking at the scoreline, it could be seen that Turkey did provide performance in similar level as did Italy but when taking account that Italy did come to the game into much more demoralised manner and also opponent not coming with some of its key players, it could be stated that its been dissapointing result to Italy as it did lose opportunity possible to get its 1st win in its history. It needs to be mentioned that Turkey did continue making mistakes at the defence as it especially clear from conceded goals as they managed to provide too much prevention into opponent attackers to prevent getting opposition atackers to get some pressure. Therefore it does seem like Turkey defensive game is not being very confident and suitable to this side and it does look like Kuntz would need to go through. Positive aspect has been to find 2 goals even if it was friendly game.

Italy on their part did come out in difficult mental condition as it did lose to Northern Macedonia at semi-final game at this Final Four and this did affect with their performance even if did find 3 goals during game. To some extend factor of being differences between quality of side did has direct affect to scoreline.

Turkey did have good start to the game with Cengiz Under goal on 4th minute but as game developed Italy did get upper hand as it shown to be more quality side compare to Turkey. 

Ahmetcan Kaplan has become injured.

Trabzonspor player Ahmetcan Kaplan has become injured during youth national team duty as he did become injured during game against Israel and might not be able to play for around 1 month.

Ahmetcan Kaplan has been seen as one of the potential stars of the team in the future and did recieve some playing time in recent weeks at the Super League where it needs to be mentioned he did show some positive aspects, and hence this injury would be seen as dissapointing development from Trabzonspor without doubt as Abdullah Avci did have plans to provide lots of playing time in upcoming weeks with working into development of the player. Positive aspect is that there is expectation for Kaplan to recover before season is over and still could get some playing time in the side which is very likely would be arleady get its title in the end of the season.

Injury of Ahmetcan Kaplan surely would be seen as dissapointing news both for player and whole team but it would be important for him to have healthy and through recovery from this injury.

Galatasaray player Sofiane Feghouli has become injured.

Another player who has become injured during international national team duty has been Galatasaray player Sofiane Feghouli who has become injured prior to World Cup 2022 game between Algeria and Cameroon.

Sofiane Feghouli  is reported not to be attending to last training session of the national team side and is not taken into 18-team squad for game and is believed that reason for this has been that he did get injured during last training session which he did attend. This report has been given by Algerian National Team media and hence there is no actual report which states that he was injured but it does look like that. This would be unwanted news for Galatasaray which tries to end season at the highest spot it can during this season and Feghouli without doubt did show crucial improvement with his performance in recent weeks playing important with wins.

There is no official statement regarding of his injury so we would follow and provide information if there is any statements regarding this issue.
