What happened in Turkish football today? 15/02/2023



Conference League will experience most emotional game in its history.

Trabzonspor would be restarting its Conference League as it going to meet with Swiss side Basel at 2nd round of the tournament as the game would be played in high emotional and difficult days for the country.

Normally, we should be stating that life continues, sentence which would be used in upcoming days around country, but we need to remember that this would not be case for many families who has experienced earthquake. Still, with UEFA regulations game needs to be played as Trabzonspor didnt have an opportunity to train a lot due of emotional pleasure and hence it could be also physically difficult game for Trabzonspor and not only morally. Stating that, Trabzonspor without doubt did also gain its achievement as stadium would be full with not only Trabzonspor but all supporters around Turkey as payments would be going to victims of the earthquake. Regardless of the result, stadium would become as one and unified towards all victims of the earthquake.

Trabzonspor players would be coming out to the game in emotional feeling and it would be hard for players to provide full concentration very likely.

Kasimpasa has changed on last minute at Hatay before earthquake.

As always in the tragedies, we are hearing some stories where due of luck or last minute changes we do here some stories of survival and one of them with is being without doubt Kasimpasa changing hotel in last moment as it visited Hatay.

In the beginning, hotel where Kasimpasa has been originally planned to stay has been totally destructed following 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes in southwest part of the country. It needs to be mentioned that team didnt change due of conditions of the building, but due of request from Selcuk Inan stating that hotel is being in the central part of the city and would have lots of noise and hence would affect concentration of the players and has chosen hotel which is closer to stadium, that hotel didnt recieve too much damage from earthquake. 

Hence, without doubt this has been miracle storyline for Kasimpasa as whole team could have much more tragic consquences of its visits. 

Trabzonspor has loaned Gaziantep player Lazar Markovic until end of the season

Trabzonspor has loaned Gaziantep player Lazar Markovic until end of the season, due of decision to allow sides which wont end this season to be loaned and transferred to other clubs.

Looking at the footballing sides, Markovic is being good player who is being one of the key players at Gaziantep during this season as he is being skillful and good control player and hence he would be able to provide good performance at midfielding position as he is being good player with starting attacks. He did perform also at Fenerbahce previously showing some good performance even through didnt entirely fulfill his expectations but is used to show top level performance at top club in country.

Hence, Trabzonspor did make a good signing and also would lead Markovic to stay in form for rest of the season.
