Turkey ended Nations League with humiliating loss

Turkey has got highly unexpected loss to Faroe Islands with 1:0 scoreline as it did come out to the game with securing 1st spot in the group as Turkey didnt show any focus and respect to the opponent.

Ít needs to be mentioned that despite of Turkey securing 1st spot of the group and hence getting back to the League B at the Nations League would have positive impact into side as it would be providing calm but same time agressive game with including as comeback from another unexpected result of Luxembourg with 3:3 scoreline. It needs to be mentioned that Turkey has shown full dominance during June games where more or less secured its promotion, and this has led for too much relaxation from Faroe Islands. What is more sad with this outcome that Faroe Islands has been better side during 90 minutes with looking for some opportunities and has been better side,while Turkey until end of the game has been providing some passive game. Therefore, Turkey has shown that if you dont provide full focus and respect to opponent whoever they are, you would lose game and thats what happened to Turkey.

Faroe Islands without doubt did come out with best result to be getting draw and thats how it looked to be, but as they became aware that this game has been possible to get win it has shown right reaction and in some moments of 2nd half has got into control of the game.

Turkey has ended group stage with 2 games without winning Luxembourg and Faroe Islands, and this has provided some serious worries to side aside of getting promotion to League B.

Goteborg are interested to transfer Anders Trondsen

Even through there is still 3 months until mid-season transfer window, there were some transfer rumours started coming out as it is reported that Goteborg might be interested to transfer Trabzonspor player Anders Trondsen.

Trondsen despite of getting transferred with high hopes during last season, didnt get much of the playing time during this season which does show that possibly technical staff of the team are unhappy with performance of the player. In such matter, it would be expected for player to be considering possibly to be leaving and Goteborg, which are likely aiming to reach into top level performance would be showing some interest towards player. 

With this possible transfer we would surely follow how this story could develop if it would in our accounts.
