What happened in Turkish football today? 13/12/2022

Besiktas asking Saiss not to play against France is egoistic action.

According to reports, Besiktas has send request to Moroccan National Team and its player Romain Saiss do not play against France during World Cup 2022 semi-final game. 

Assuming that this news is being true, and sadly it can easily be,it has shown once again of egocentric actions which has been made by Turkish clubs. It would need to be mentioned that Romain Saiss would be coming out to most important game on his career so far, as every player in the world, including Messi and Ronaldo, would aim to come out for such level game and Besiktas due of worrying that injury might even become worser is asking player not to play. Meanwhile, it needs to be stated that Saiss injury has been serious than team medical team would not even allow him to play but it is reported that his injury wasnt as serious as it looked and Saiss would give his all to come out and show his best game as he should.

Sadly, we are seeing once again actions which being self-centred and aims to prevent for player to reach his dream as player and both team and player need to make decision without any outside matters.

Emre Mor has recovered from injury.

Fenerbahce player Emre Mor has recovered from his injury as he has attended whole training session with main team which without doubt is being seen as good development for side.

Even through Emre Mor is being unstable player with his performance, he does show very good performance and rise of seriousness both at Fatih Karagumruk on previous years and also continued to show imporvement with Jorge Jesus. Without doubt he is being very important player for the side and in some games even does get key role, so such development would certainly make Jorge Jesus happy for future games.

Emre Mor as been mentioned does show very good performance in recent period and hence this development is being positive one.

Bakasetas has won an award in his home country

Trabzonspor player Andreas Bakasetas has won an award in his country for being best Greek player to be playing outside Greece.

Without doubt, Bakasetas did provide great performance with Trabzonspor at the previous season playing an important role for title and also despite of whole team not being in good condition, he continues to show very good performance and possibly being best player at whole team right now and keeping chances for side to be on the race for top of the spot. Therefore, Bakasetas did deserve this award in his country and would also motivate him at Trabzonspor for rest of the season.

Bakasetas continues to be key player at the side and has potential to turn around many games and hence get important point in rest of the season.
