Turkey didnt focus much to last 2 games of Nations League
It needs to be reminded that Turkey did come out to the last 2 games of the Nations League League C Group 1 games against Luxembourg and Faroe Islands needing only 1 point which it did recieve.
Therefore, there is possibility of Turkish National Team technical staff and players at showing some relaxation to those games. Turkey national team has always made successful result at chaos conditions and when it needed to be highly focussed and while playing at relaxed mode it tends to lose points, as hence surprising poor results against weaker side. Both Luxembourg and Faroe Islands has shown full concentration and using their chances of unconcentrated opponent to get point and win in consecutive order. Those games for sure has shown that without focus and respect to opponent you would lose points.
Turkish National Team took those 2 games too lightly hence and paid price for that without doubt.
Sending away Stefan Kuntz will not solve issues.
With getting only 1 point against Luxembourg and Faroe Islands, there rose active criticism towards head coach Stefan Kuntz and call for his resignation but we believe that this is beng.
It needs to be mentioned foremost that getting 1 point from such opponents for team like Turkey is not being acceptable but there needs to be looked some previous performances with Kuntz, as even through there were not big achievements still it wasnt as bad including taking team to World Cup 2022 play-off games where it lost to Portugal. Therefore, it needs to be identifying issues which are pushing Turkish football down as history shows that regardless how much you change referees poor results tend to be reappear. Therefore, sending Kuntz would not be solution to the problem for sure.
Stefan Kuntz should be changed unless someone like Jose Jesus would come who would change team entirely in few days.
Fenerbahce fans will not be allowed to Besiktas game
TFF has announced that Fenerbahce supporters will not be allowed to Super League 8th week game against Besiktas due of possibility of high tension between supporters which might lead to hooliganism outcomes.
Without doubt, Turkish derbies has been seen as high-risk games as been case in previous games as it has led to unwanted events and even people dying sadly so even through this image is not being present, it does sound like reasonable. In fact, this nostalgic view that stands were diveded into 50/50 is only being part of truth, as it was diveded like that but there were some serious hooliganistic behaviour due of this.
Sadly, this decision is being correct one as it would prevent unwanted events between fans.
