What happened in Turkish football today? 26/03/2024



Turkey has got unexpected humiliating loss to Austria.

Turkish National Team without doubt has got unexpected humiliating loss against Austria with 6:1 scoreline without providing much upper hand against fellow Euro 2024 side with only positive factor that this is being friendly game and gives opportunity to identify weaksides of the team.

It needs to be mentioned that Turkey did come out to the team with lots of changes at starting 11 and did play some players who dont get lots of playing time and hence this has provided for Vincenzo Montella to check alternative squad and sadly for Turkey it needs to be mentioned that this starting 11 didnt provide much hope and it does look like this would be main focus for Montella at finding solution to this until Euro 2024 starts. It needs to be mentioned as scoreline suggests Austria did provide an effective attacking game on the field to which Turkey did have some serious aspect to be showing reaction towards do and hence did provide weakest defensive game since Vincenzo Montella has joined team. To some extend also conceding goal on early minutes did also has negative effect even if Hakan Calhanoglu did find penalty goal on 24th minute to equaliser scoreline.

Austria meanwhile very likely did get easier win than it is expected but compare to Turkey they did show much more focus to game and hence got confident scoreline of 6:1 and showed lots of optimism for Euro 2024.

As been mentioned, Turkey needs to be remembered that this is being friendly game and hence it did get an opportunity to get all its weaknesses in hard way and now would need to look how to solve those issues with Montella taking leadership.

Fenerbahce sends request to postpone Super League game against Fatih Karagumruk.

Fenerbahce considers to send request to TFF for postponing 32nd week Super League game against Fatih Karagumruk due of it being between Conference League game tie against Olympiakos.

Fenerbahce as it is known are having both aims to win Conference League and Super League and hence such action has been based upon that and hence this request if it would be able to get is being understandable and could without doubt provide time in that weekend to prepare for 2nd leg game. It would be interesting to see how TFF would respond to this request without doubt as it is been noted Fenerbahce would come out to very important games both in Super League and Conference League. It also needs to be reminded that Fenerbahce did attempt to postpone Turkish Super Cup which would be taking place in 7th April but has been declined.

Fenerbahce hence would be hoping that this request would be requested as it takes both tournament very importantly.

Galatasaray interested to loan Marcao from Sevilla.

One of the most interesting transfer rumours on today's Turkish football media has been rumours that Galatasaray would consider to loan its ex-player Marcao from Sevilla.

Being sold to Sevilla few years ago, Brazilan player is not recieving high amount of playing time and is been seen on sales list on upcoming summer transfer window and Galatasaray would see this as good opportunity to loan him for upcoming season as he did show pretty good and strong performance in Istanbul giants and in fact been main reason for joining Sevilla. This could be also good opportunity to get some playing time and show himself at the market so it would be expected that Marcao would be interested to join if negotiations between clubs will take place.

This rumour does get attention and could be good option for Marcao for next season without doubt.
