What happened in Turkish football today? 12/09/2023



Turkey provided very poor defensive game against Japan.

Turkish National Team has lost an international friendly game against Japan in Belgium with 4:2 scoreline as it provided pretty poor performance especially during 1st half and showed some serious issues at collective defensive game.

It needs to be stated that Turkey in fact didnt show anything during 1st half as game has been played in total control of the Japan as it did found 3 pretty easy goals as we saw some serious decline performance. It could be argued that Turkey didnt play with an ideal starting 11 during 1st half and things did change in 2nd half when with substitutes it became closer to ideal starting 11, but this also shows that Turkey substitutes are not being at high level. In same matter as during game against Armenia one of the few positive aspects from this game could be a goal which been come from Bertug Yildirim as he made 2 out of 2 but unlucky for him it did come at the game where side did lose games. Turkey hence needs to take lots of lessons from this games.

Japan did show once again that it is being strong and effective team as it looked much more confident and that taking account that it did come out very far from ideal starting 11 changing 10 players. It looked more organised and dangerous at front with using weaknesses of Turkish defence whole game.

Turkey did get very poor result hence against Japan and does provide some serious drop of performance which would mean that Kuntz would need to find solutions for next Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Trabzonspor signs Ognjek Bakic for 2+2 years.

Trabzonspor has signed Osijek player Ognijek Bakic for 2+2 years as it was transfer which been directly asked from Nenad Bjelica as Bakic is being an young player with lots of potential without doubt.

It would need to be mentioned that Bakic does have lots of potential as player and since coming from same country as Bjelica would mean without doubt that it would be given entirely into trust of coaches as it is clear he has been viewing him for some time. It needs to be mentioned that 1st two years would be given pretty modest salary to Bakic but as time would go it would raise if he would use +2 extension and prove himself to the team.

Not much is known about Bakic but it is clear that he is being player with full potential but he needs to show his quality both in training and games without doubt.

Basaksehirspor has extended contract with Berkay Ozcan for 4-years.

Basaksehirspor has extended contract with its player Berkan Ozcan for 4 years as he has been one of the key players in the team in recent years and hence club did show strong trust towards him.

It needs to be mentioned that Ozcan has been one of the players at the team who does recieve lots of playing times and has shown his quality and key role at the team so it should not be surprised that contract has been extended for pretty long time and team didnt have any plans to sell him during this summer transfer window. Berkay Ozcan has been player which did show stable performance in the team and for sure would be continuing such high level performance in upcoming 4 years.

Ozcan has made his name to be associated with Basaksehirspor and hence this extension should be seen as pretty expected development.
