What happened in Turkish football today? 28/07/2023

Besiktas got advantage over KF Tirana.

Besiktas did get as expected an advantegous scoreline against KF Tirana at Conference League as it did show game with full control of the game but did have possible downside of showing too much relaxation after 2:0 which did lead them to concede 1 goal but did get once again advantage of 2 goals.

Even through club did experience downside of not being entirely ready for competitive game both due of 1st games of the season and also of the hot summer evening, it did have an advantage of playing relatively weaker side and this has led for side to get good game without much issues at the front in the attacking game and hence did get an important win thanks to the opponent. It needs to be mentioned that KF Tirana did provide its best performance and it did seek to at least fight for good result which did lead them to find that single goal.

Task of getting through to 3rd qualifying round is not done, but as long as they stay calm and focussed task should be done in Tirana next week.

Adana Demirspor show good game in its European debut.

Adana Demirspor as been noted several times did play with most difficult opponent in this stage among Turkish clubs mainly due of CFR Cluj from opponent did have some good experience in Europe but Adana Demirspor has shown good game.

In fact, even through it did concede an early goal on 6th minute prior to that Adana Demirspor has been better side and did create some chances prior to that. What has been important for Adana Demirspor is that it did show good reaction and did stay focussed which led them to find some good opportunities and eventually did find an equaliser thanks to Stambouli as side would be looking for 2nd leg right now with high expectation and good mood.

Without doubt, Adana Demirspor getting draw in Romania has been good outcome as it would be expected more effective game in Adana next week.

Italy and Turkey has announced joined candidacy bid for Euro2032

Both Italy and Turkey, among UEFA themselves, has announced joined candidacy to host Euro2032 as without doubt Italy has been provided an important boost of tournament to be taking place in Turkish soil.

Without doubt, and despite of all advantegous which Turkey to host Euro's, this joint would provide big help towards Turkey as Italy without doubt could have gotten bid even with announcing as one country. With both sides been Meditterean area and having lots of similarties culturally would provide this bid as logical even through there is some difference between countries. Turkey in all fairness has all infrastucture to host tournament while Italy among that factor would be able to provide experience from previous tournaments.

Since this candidacy would raise chances to be selected for both sides into pretty high possibility as UEFA would go through all candidates in near future.
