Turkey continues Nations League with Lithuania game.

Turkish National Team is going to resume its aim to get back to the Nations League League B with game against Lithuania as it might have some difficulty into playing at unusual artificial field.

Even through Turkey did win Faroe Islands with 4:0 scoreline, there were some areas on the field which did rise some questions during 1st half and which would made some followers unhappy when they expecting to dominate in all of the game at this stage of Nations League. It is expectd without doubt for Turkey to get once again confident win against Lithuania, but could be bit more tough as opponent is stronger than Faroe Islands and does tend to be aiming to improve as football nation, so Turkey would need to be much more aggressive if it wants to give important message during game.

Turkey are coming out as favourites but if it wants to satisfy its supporters its need to show stronger game compare to Faroe Islands one.

Sivasspor extends contract with Riza Calimbay.

Sivasspor has made an extension deal with Riza Calimbay officially as we discussed about issue on our blog in our previous entry and this been without doubt a good news for both parties.

Riza Calimbay even through is being currently at side which doesnt put its main priority as title but are focussed into getting European spot at each season, is been coached by one of the most experienced Turkish coaches and results shows he is good one. Therefore, keeping him and providing some help adminsitratively would mean that team would be open to improve and become much more competitive domestically and at Europe during upcoming season. It is also been pleasant news for Riza Calimbay as he would be working in the side which he is familiar and happy at.

This been best decision for Sivasspor without doubt and would make both focussed and satisfied for upcoming season.

Basaksehirspor signs Alper Karaman for 4-years.

Basaksehirspor has signed 4-year contract with Alper Karaman, who has been previously at club's academy and now being an free agent before contract.

Even through Alper Karaman doesnt necesarrily has an experience as player, he has strong connection to the club as he has spend lots of years at academy and such connection to the team could lead him to provide much effort as it is expected for him to get lots of playing time. Still, such signing does show sign of expectation from him and he would need to show during training session.

This transfer could also see as also move from Basaksehirspor to youngsters which seems to be main focus once again during this summer transfer window.
