What happened in Turkish football today? 19/09/2023



Galatasaray would be coming out as favourites thanks to strong support from home fans.

Galatasaray would be returning to Champions League with a game against Copenhagen at the opening week of Group A as it would be an important game for potential 3rd spot when looking into other opponents.

As been noted, it is important to be fair for ourselves as it needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray has found itself at the tough group with Bayern Munich and Manchester United and hence it would be reasonable to expect that its realistic aim would be to ending at 3rd spot and hence this game against Copenhagen is being very important. Also, it needs to be mentioned that this is being an opening week and its always important to have good start of the competition. Coming back to game it needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray would be coming as favourite not only due of quality factor but more crucial in this game due of strong supporting push at home ground. Still as always it needs to be difficult as Copenhagen been side which has been improving in recent years and has potential to surprise its opponents.

Galatasaray would be coming out as favourites but it wont be an easy task as it tends to be at Champions League and hence team would need to show its best performance for 90 minutes for sure.

Konyaspor signs Gokhan Tore for 1+1 years.

Konyaspor has signed officially Gokhan Tore who as it is known is coming to last years of his footballing career and player for sure would be aiming to provide that he is still able to provide top level game after some unwanted injuries in recent years.

Signing Gokhan Tore for 1+1 years is also being an important transfer for team in sense of providing an important push for experience to the team as it is unclear if he would be able to recieve lots of playing time even if player would like to do. Still, Konyaspor will be signing an important player who also has most amount of experience in the current squad at the Super League and would to help significantly both in the field but as been noted more likely outside of field also.

Hence, this would be an important signing for Konyaspor and Tore will becoming one of the leading players in this season to help side to end at top half of the standings.

Arda Guler would start training session on 25th September.

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has given a good news regarding of injury of Arda Guler stating that player would be returning on training session on 25th September as he did show pretty fast recovery from minuscule injury.

As it is known, Arda Guler did get pretty serious injury at the training session during pre-season training camp after joining team making it among most discussed transfers in this summer. After awaiting to be coming out on field on his 1st game is getting closer as Ancelotti states that player is being recovered and would start training session next week. Meanwhile, this also shows that team has been careful not to let him train with main squad to early and did provide patience for him to be entirely ready.

This without doubt has been good news and long-awaited first game for Real Madrid would be getting closer after this for him.
