What happened in Turkish football today? 15/09/2023



Galatasaray would restart season with resistant Samsunspor.

Turkish Super League would be resuming with Super League game between Samsunspor and Galatasaray as title holders would be coming as expected to be strong favourite but it needs to be mentioned that Black Sea side can be  tough opponent.

It also needs to be mentioned that games before and after Champions League tend to be going pretty difficult for clubs in Super League and it would be interesting to see how game in midweek would affect to Galatasaray mentality. It would be highly expected that at the game which Istanbul giant as been noted seen to be clear favourite would be expecting to raise tempo as soon as game starts and looking for an early goals but Samsunspor is capable of providing some good defence. Samsunspor naturally would be focussed to defensive game but would be looking for counter-attacks.

Galatasaray are expected to win game without doubt but it is not expected to be an easy win as some would be awaiting.

Kayserispor has lifted transfer ban on last day and made number of good transfers.

Kayserispor has managed to lift transfer ban on the deadline of summer transfer window and hence has as would been expected day with high number of transfers with signing 6 players which would strength its squad.

It needs to be stated that Kayserispor has been looking into lifting this transfer ban which did come from unpaying salaries to its ex-players during whole summer and hence eventually managed to lift it after long time in the morning of last day of the summer transfer window and had managed to transfer strong 6 players which would provide quality factor which has been lacking to some extend during  start of the season. Therefore, it could be stated without doubt that club did have good period of transfer deadline taking account conditions which it has happeend.

With most players also being used to Super League there would not be much issue of new players to get adapted to the league.

Mario Ballotelli returns to Adana Demirspor.

Adana Demirspor has managed to bring back Mario Balotelli after player has terminated contract with Sion as he did provide some good performance in 2 seasons not only in team but whole league.

With signing being for 1+1 years, Ballotelli is expected to provide similar performance as he does have some good connection with Adana Demirspor and even through there were some issues on his stay, it wasnt actually as scandalous or at least wasnt reported too much in Turkish media. It also known that Ballotelli did have good connection with Adana Demirspor CEO Murat Sancak and this for sure also has played a positive role for smoothness of this transfer deal.

Only thing which Adana Demirspor fans would be dissapointed is factor that he didnt join before Conference League game against Club Brugge but apart that fans would be very satisfied.
