Turkish National Team has got its ticket to Euro 2024 with win against Latvia.
Turkish National Team has got its ticket to the Euro 2024 with 2 weeks to be played in this qualifying round, as it has managed to win game with confident scoreline of 4:0 but it does need to be mentioned that it wasnt an easy win entirely.
Turkey did come to this 2 game period in October, to get results which would make sure that they would be participating at Euro 2024 in Germany but it has been difficult journey in all fairness both during whole group campaign and also in this game specifically as Latvia did provide lots of pressure towards Turkey goal but goals which did come after 83rd minutes as Latvia did lose concentration which made things much easier for Turkey. When coming to the game, Turkey it needs to be stated did have controllable game to the game in the 1st half and has created some chances but did lack tempo of the game. Still, it has raised tempo during 1st half as it provided much more pressure and has scored a goal from Yunus Akgun. Only negative aspect from Turkey has been that after 1st goal, it did give ball and possession to Latvia which did create number of good chances and has got into posts. Hence, it needs to be stated that 2nd goal which been scored from Cenk Tosun did come in perfect time as it stopped effective game from Latvia and also broke their motivation which led for 3 more goals from Turkey.
Latvia on their part did remind all Turkish players and supporters, despite of the scoreline, that it is being pretty problematic side to them and has provided lots of problematic issues until scoreline has been 2:0 and did in fact show some good game with good fighting spirit.
Turkey hence got into Euro 2024 with a style by beating Croatia in away game and also getting confident scoreline against Latvia tonight and hence would be waiting for tournament at high confidence and motivation.
Alexandru Djiku has resumed training sessions.
Fenerbahce player Alexandru Djiku has been recovered from injured which would be without doubt a positive news for head coach Ismail Kartal as he got back one of the key players at defence for the team.
One of main reasons for Fenerbahce winning run during this season has been without doubt strong performance of defensive players as team has only conceded 3 goals at the Super League after 8 weeks and Alexandru Djiku confident performance has been one of the main reason for this outcome and hence news that he has started training with main squad with 1 week to go before league resumes would been a positive development without doubt.
Therefore, this development would provide an important strength to arleady strong defence as team has no intention to lose points when league would resume after this national team break.
Besiktas are interested to appoint Igor Tudor as club's head coach.
There is on-going rumours that Besiktas current administration if it manages to win upcoming CEO election are showing strong interest with appointing Igor Tudor as club's head coach.
It needs to be reminded that Igor Tudor has been working with Galatasaray on previous years where he didnt necessarily get very good results and has been send away but after that he has worked with Roma and Olympique Marseille where he did show some good performance and did show lots of improvement as coach so he would be coming to Besiktas if appointment would happen in much more experienced manner and does have some experience at Super League as he did also coach Karabukspor on previous years.
This are only being rumours for now and it is being pretty unclear but we would follow all developments in this matter for sure.
