What happened in Turkish football today? 26/03/2023



Turkey started campaign with a win against Armenia.

Turkish National Team has got an important win at away game against Armenia with 2:1 scoreline and with Croatia and Wales drawing on their own game has been leaders at the group but it needs to be mentioned that in performance wise there were higher expectation.

It needs to be mentioned that despite of Armenian fans booeing Turkish national anthem before kick-off, game has been going through into calm and not much tension as performance from both sides players did look to be professional. Stating that, Armenia players did show that they wanted to get win in this game more in duration of first 30 minutes as it created much more chances and with pressure has forced Ozan Kabak to score an own goal. After Turkey did score an equaliser with great shot from Ozan Kabak, Turkey did provide much more organised performance and did find winning goal thanks to the Kerem Akturkoglu but last minute of the game did provide some worries.

Turkey did manage to get win at 1st game in the qualifying campaign which is always important regardless who is opponent but needs to provide much more performance when playing against Croatia on 28th March.

Ertugrul Dogan is being elected as Trabzonspor new CEO

Ertugrul Dogan has been elected as Trabzonspor CEO during today's club's election where he did run as single candidate and right now as been mentioned in our blog for past 2 days would need to focus into economical aspects.

As to all clubs in Turkey and to some extend around world, economical issues tends to be most important aspect and without doubt main aim is to reduce salaries of the players. Hence, since Trabzonspor are focussing to reduce into double, main solution would be to sell its foreign players which take lion share of this salaries and focus into academy players. Rest of the season, as club chances for title race are being far is to focus into current players with new coach with figuring it out who needs to be sold in summer and possibly start including academy players into main squad to make them used for next season.

It is an advantage for Ertugrul Dogan to be from previous administration as he would know directly issues and solutions for factors he would meet.

Turkish National Team acted too precautiously regarding Bardakci headache.

An issue of Galatasaray player Abdulkerim Bardakci regarding him being taking away from Turkish National Team has been found that team has decided to take him from squad as Bardakci wanted to stay.

Bardakci headache at training camp has been taken for 3-days and quite possibly with some checking Turkish National Team has taken precaution issue as Galatasaray also has done similar actions when he joined team but when it found out that his condition is not being serious at all he has joined team back. Looking for bad will and Turkey showing some action is that national team has taken some precaution action and likely just analysed condition wrongly.

Abdulkerim Bardakci is having very good season and very likely would be selected at national team when it would meet again in June.
