What happened in Turkish football today? 08/09/2023



Turkish National Team has unexpectedly lost 2 points to Armenia

Turkish National Team has got unexpected draw against Armenia despite of providing strong and attacking game but it did have an issue with converting goal and it did concede goal right in the start of 2nd half which provided some panicking game for rest of the game.

When looking at the performance of Turkish National Team it needs to be stated that team did come into win and has aimed to provide an attacking and positive game as it did create lots of chances and has shown some willingness and therefore blaming Turkey not wanting to win game could be too harsh. In all fairness, opposition defence and goalkeeper did have good night with getting some important saves but stating that same goalkeeper did play anti-football as he did enter ball too late. One of the other positive aspect of the game is has been positive performance from Bertug Yildirim who has scored his debut goal and this goal on long run might be enough for side to go to the Euro 2024 as 1 point could be enough. Therefore in overall Turkey didnt provide necessarily poor performance but it could have shown much more organised performance.

Armenia on their part did aim to provide an organised performance especially at defence and has managed to do that as it provided good defence even if Turkey did create some good chances and has used its opportunity in the start of 2nd half and this draw has kept side chances for Euro 2024 alive.

Turkey did lose its opportunity to become into much more comfortable position at the group stage and did concede goal in bad timing. Still gaining 1 point could become possibly very important in future.

Trabzonspor signs Nicolas Pepe.

Trabzonspor signs Arsenal player Nicolas Pepe after intensive but in same time fast transfer negotiations and hence making another transfer from other club as Besiktas did lose uanother player to its rivals this summer.

With Besiktas having long time transfer negotiations with Pepe and being close in some moments to sign him, Trabzonspor did mention to sign him at short notice as reports that club is interested with him did come 2 days ago. Even through Besiktas did have some good transfers during this summer in overall it didnt do well with convincing most players and it would need to go through why this has taken place. Meanwhile, it needs to be Trabzonspor did got job as it did good player for Super League which would help to achieve targets which it has set.

Trabzonspor hence did sign a good player and did act more faster and actively compare to Besiktas if we see how this transfer negotiations developed.

Fatih Karagumruk signs Guven Yalcin

Fatih Karagumruk sings Genoa player Guven Yalcin who did leave several years ago to Italian side from Besiktas to recieve more playing time but it didnt turn around as he has planned and he has returned to home country.

It needs to be mentioned back when he did travel to Italy there were talks that it could been too early move and as even through we would praise his actions for trying into new area, it does look all this talks  has been right and now he would return to Fatih Karagumruk where at first he would be aiming to get into  his top level he showed at Besiktas and when he does he could easily become good transfer to Fatih Karagumruk and hence could become key player in the team.

Hence, Fatih Karagumruk did sign an important player who would be able to take leading role in upcoming season.
