What happened in Turkish football today? 08/03/2022

Besiktas continues losing points towards end of the game.

Besiktas continues showing controllable game with being ones which is creating opportunities but still continues losing crucial points for 2nd spot due of issues with converting those chances.

Besiktas does provide some positive game as it is being one which is creating opportunities as been case against Basaksehirspor which has ended with 2:2 scoreline, but it continues to be losing points both for not converting opportunities and despite of showing strong defensive game does look in some moments concentration which is being return with conceding goals. In addition, it continued showing slow tempo during end of the game as both sides didnt provide much attacking game during last 20 minues, and it does look like Besiktas would need to focus on this issues for last 10 week games as it could be losing opportunities for 2nd spot even when it comes. Hence, Besiktas main focus for Galatasaray game and rest of the season would be to show strong game towards last minutes of the game.

Besiktas are showing poor effective game in the end of the games and this continues to be main reason for side to lose crucial points.

Central Referee Committee has announced list of referees for last 10 weeks.

Central Referee Committee has made surprising move for announcing 10 referees which would be taking place for last 10 weeks of the Super League while naming 10 names which has ended this season.

Without doubt most surprising names has been on this list has been Cuneyt Cakir and Firat Aydinus who will not be taking place in last 10 weeks even through been accepted as one of the best referees in Turkey and been accepted to be so by European authorities too.Without doubt with this decision Central Referee Committee is providing direct criticism towards those referees calling them poor and this could easily provide mistrust between both in the future. This decision to announce in such manner especially with reports that referees found out from news websites of this decision is being unexpectable and could affectly badly to Turkish football.

Sadly, Turkish Football Federation does make interesting decisions and continues losing trust to themselves as time goes. 

Goztepe has made deal with Stjepan Tomas.

Goztepe has announced that it has appointed Stjepan Tomas as its new head coach after ending contract with Nestor El Maestro on previous days.

It needs to be mentioned that Nestor El Maestro did have mixture of performance in this side as he did have poor start with his new club but later did improve with getting good results with good game but in recent weeks started losing again which led for club decision to end contract with him. Appointing Stjepan Tomas meanwhile has been probably best option among available as Tomas both familiar with this league during his playing career and as being coach, with latter working mainly with clubs which are in similar conditions as Goztepe right now and getting some good results so he could be successful with keeping side in this league.

Getting name which is familiar with league is big advantage and best option as mentioned for Goztepe right now.
