What happened in Turkish football today? 16/11/2022



Turkey has won an important friendly game against Scotland in sense of mentality

Turkish National Team has won its first of the two friendlies with 2:1 scoreline against Scotland as it has shown in general pretty good performance and looking confident however there were some serious decline towards end of the game.

Even through Turkey has reached its aim of being promoted at the Nations League, its last 2 games has been pretty dissapointing and has recieved lots of criticism and hence it did come to this game in such psychological condition which Stefan Kuntz has felt most. Stating that it did look like Turkey did provide confident and attacking game without letting Scotland to create any chances during this period and did come to the win. Despite of it being friendly game meanwhile, with such game has been also 1st game at the Diyarbakir city has affected as both sides did aim to show good performance for supporters who did come into stadium who has shown very good supporting role and did push Turkey forward without forgetting to show respect to Scotland. Only issue which could be seen into negative has been towards an end as Scotland did provide some good performance and did found a goal in this period while Turkey did look into tiredness and concentration as it leads with 2:0 scoreline at friendly game. 

Scotland didnt provide good start of the game even through to some extend it has been also good defensive game which did come with smart tactics from Turkey but as game progressed Scotland did provide some issues to the opponent which is being good aspect as Turkey defence needed to be tested without doubt.

Turkey did show some improvement from previous game and did show some improvement also in tactical game which could reduce some criticism but it needs to be remembered its been friendly.

Fenerbahce declined 8 million euro offer for Diego Rossi from Flamingo.

Fenerbahce has declined transfer offer from Flamengo for 8 million euro for Diego Rossi as it doesnt consider to sell player for less than 12-13 million euro. 

Even through performance of Diego Rossi could be argued regarding of the level of his performance despite of providing very good assists during game, there are some important signs that club is having trust and see him as long project as player without doubt is having lots of potential. This could be seen clearly from club decision to decline 8 million euro offer from Brasilian side as club doesnt consider to sell him during mid-season transfer window and also for less than 12 million euro. Meanwhile, it is reported that Flamengo still focussed towards player and could be sending new offer in upcoming days and it would be interesting to see what would be offer and what would be reaction of club and player.

Fenerbahce are seeing as been noted Diego Rossi as long-term project and hence has declined an offer and this is good decision both in sense of potential performance and financial gain.

Loyal Mertens has declined Vissel Kobe transfer offer.

Galatasaray player Dries Mertens has declined transfer offer from Vissel Kobe hence showing his strong connection to his current club.

Vissel Kobe were showing strong interest for long time towards Dries Mertens which has been raised as Mertens also start providing strong performance and becoming one of the key players in his current team among having very good experience. It is known from statements from Dries Mertens that he feels comfortable and happy at Galatasaray so this decline could be highly expected. It needs to be mentioned that future of Mertens at his current club is being uncertain as it is loan deal, but it is known that player would be very happy to stay in the club for long time and sign contract.

This without doubt is being good news for Galatasaray as it has dedicated player who could show top level performance and help side to go forward and fight for title.
