What happened in Turkish football today? 09/05/2023



Galatasaray got crucial win for its road for title thanks to organised game from defenders.

Galatasaray has made an important step for title as it has beaten Basaksehirspor with penalty goal from Mauro Icardi at the end of the 1st half and has made 5 point advantage at the top with 4 games in the league.

It needs to be mentioned such win did come with very good and organised performance of defence players especially during 2nd half as after scoring goal Galatasaray did provide defensive performance. Even through it could be mentioned that providing performance of defence while winning only with 1:0 result against strong opponent, it could be mentioned that Galatasaray are being among sides which does show such good performance when it matters. There were times during game where Galatasaray did show some signs of being panic especially during 2nd half but again getting focussed once again from players and also good support from fans has helped side to get very crucial 3 points as side would be meeting with relatively beatable sides in next 3 weeks.

Hence, Galatasaray would need to win all games before derby game at Fenerbahce and regardless how latter side plays, it would come out to derby as champions.

Bozok goals has brought first win to Bjelica as Trabzonspor coach.

Trabzonspor has got its first win with its new coach Nemad Bjelica with 2:0 scoreline thanks to the 2 goals from Umut Bozok who without doubt has got confidence boost.

With Trabzonspor focussing for next season with Bjelica checking all of its players at the squad, it still was important to win such win at home ground to provide some strong message to its supporters and all Turkish football followers and possibly to Fenerbahce for next week game. It needs to be mentioned that help from Ankaragucu at early red card did play crucial role with how game developed and also highly motivated and in-form Umut Bozok did play an important role and he likely did set get into eye of Bjelica.

As been noted, Trabzonspor did get some confidence and motivation prior to Fenerbahce game as win at that game could bring some smile to its supporters in such poor season.

Barcelona interested to loan Arda Guler

Without doubt, most eye-catching transfer rumour which did come today is being rumour that Barcelona would be willing to loan Fenerbahce player Arda Guler with transfer option.

As it is known, there is being very strong interest from top clubs around top leagues towards Arda Guler and one of them is being Barcelona. With going through sime financial limitations, Barcelona is reported not being able to pay 20 million euro, amount which Fenerbahce requests, but still not being eager to lose such potential player it would provide loan offer with transfer option. It would be interesting to see how Fenerbahce would respond if it would recieve such offer from Spanish giant.

It does look like Arda Guler would be among most speaked players at transfer front during upcoming transfer window and our page would follow all the latest.
