What happened in Turkish football today? 26/08/2023



Rizespor showed strong organised performance against Trabzonspor

Rizespor has managed to get its 1st win of this season at the Black Sea derby as it got an away win against Trabzonspor with 3:2 scoreline as it was winning game with 2:0 and later 3:1 scoreline while Trabzonspor continues showing ineffective performance for 2nd week back-to-back.

Despite of beating Antalyaspor on the opening week, it could be noted that Trabzonspor start of upcoming season has been unsuccessful as it providing pretty ineffective performance in the last 2 weeks as during Rizespor game it only raised tempo in the end of the 2nd half with an aim to safe draw after 3:2 but it needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor has been side which did bring itself to its condition as it didnt show much creativity in the attack despite being side which did control game. It also has serious issues at defensive game where it didnt prevent Rizespor counter-attacks as it looked pretty slow and unready to Rizespor which did use its opportunities in effective manner. This has also been 1st loss at home with Nenad Bjelica which would be an area which he would work on during upcoming training sessions.

Rizespor meanwhile did show great focus with its performance as showed good organising game at defensive game and also used its opportunities in good manner in the attack scoring 3 goals. With Rizespor hence providing best performance of this season so far, this could be turning point for them for rest of the season.

Trabzonspor continues showing not very effective and it needs to find solutions as soon as possible to be more comfortable on field if it doesnt want to continue losing points.

Fenerbahce finally signs Dominik Livakovic.

Fenerbahce continues making eye-catching transfers as it signs Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic after showing transfer negotiations during whole summer and with both sides showing patience.

It needs to be mentioned that both sides has made transfer deal back in June and also Livakovic wanting to join team but Dinamo Zagreb did have an option for him to stay during Champions League qualifiers. It needs to be mentioned that with Livakovic wanting to join Fenerbahce and also Altay Bayindir joining Manchester United as there was lots of pressure towards him, both player and club did provide some pressure to Dinamo Zagreb to make transfer deal to happen as 6,650,000 euro+950,000 euro deal. With being World Cup 2022 star with Croatia, Livakovic meanwhile does show strong performance on the field and would provide important strength at goalkeeper both in league and Conference League.

Hence, Fenerbahce did make an important transfer for its goalkeeper position even if it did stop its tradition of playing domestic players.

Fatih Karagumruk loans Besiktas player Kerem Atigan Keskin

Fatih Karagumruk loans Besiktas player Kerem Atigan Keskin for 1-year as it would provide an important strength to moderate Istanbul side with player who would get much playing time in his own club.

As it is known, Kerem Atigan Keskin is being player with high potentiality and has been to be seen to be so when joining Besiktas but with signing lots of high-level players including at defence, Besiktas using of Keskin in upcoming games has been low and hence it would been advantegous for all parties for him to be send and Fatih Karagumruk has been a great option for him as he would be recieving much more playing time and become one of the key players and play an important role with achieving a role to end season at top half as Fatih Karagumruk without doubt is aiming to achieve.

Hence, this loan deal has been win-win deal for all parties as Keskin would be recieving some important playing for his development while Fatih Karagumruk would play quality player and Besiktas would hoping that player could come back next season with Keskin being much experienced.
