What happened in Turkish football today? 25/03/2023



Turkey got satisfied result with unsatisfied performance

Turkish National Team has started its Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with an away win against Armenia with 2:1 scoreline at the game where it has struggled during 1st 30 minutes of the game but afterwards has got more control of the game and got 2nd goal during 2nd half.

It is hard to note that Turkey did provide performance which has been expected from side were not met especially at the start of the game as it has allowed Armenia to get control of the game as it had possession and has provided performance at the Turkey goal with looking for goals. In fact, even if it was an own goal from Ozan Kabak, it needs to be mentioned that goal did come from Armenian pressure. It needs to be stated that goal which did come from Orkun Kokcu even through didnt affect into tempo of the game but did affect into morale of Armenia as it started showing much more defensive and slow tempo game possibly focussing into draw. In fact, Turkey did come with very effective counter-attack with goal of Kerem Akturkoglu at the style which goals which he tends to do successfully. Turkey did get an important win without doubt as its been crucial to start such campaign with a win but it needs to be stated that Turkey didnt provide very good performance and did look passive.

It needs to be stated that Armenia did have better performance during 30 minutes as it did found first goal possibly due of political rivarly which countries are having. Armenia doesnt look side which would fight for top 2 spots in such group, but could possibly provide some issues to other opponents.

Turkey did get good start of the campaign with winning against also its historical opponent Armenia but one thing is certain it needs to improve and show much more against Croatia if it wants even a point. 

Trabzonspor new CEO main focus is to reduce spendings of the club

Trabzonspor are getting ready for CEO election with one candidate of Erdogan Dogan who would focussing into solving financial issues at the club which has been for long time main priority in the club.

It needs to be mentioned that during previous 2 seasons, Trabzonspor did come out both to get title which it has achieved previous season and also have very good European journey and continuation of success, which didnt go as planned. Since Trabzonspor is very likely to end this season outside of European spots, it would need to seek for reducing its players salary totally amount more or less into double and focus more into working into academy and if this plan would be going in good manner it would be able to create both competitive side and future stars of Turkish football in few years. In addition, financial situation is been clear as 11 players are reported to open case agaisnt club as it didnt pay salaries to them.

Hence, main focus of Ertugrul Dogan which would be elected as new CEO would need to focus mainly into reducing payments at the club.

Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Ji Sung Eom

It does look one of the main focusses of Fenerbahce during summer transfer window to sign 20-year old Ji Sung Eom from South Korean club Gwangji.

With getting some good reaction from previous South Korean players at Fenerbahce who are also being young, it does look like Fenerbahce would be focussing into potential and upcoming players from that country which without doubt is being good investment as football in that country is developing and able to create future upcoming quality players. It also reported that Kim Min-Jae is also providing good reference to Sung Eom and hence would also raise willingness for player for wanting to join them. This transfer would be hence good investment for the future.

Hence, if Fenerbahce manages to make a deal in summer with player it would be good transfer for both club and also player as it would give him chance to develop into stronger player.
