Turkey gets 3 points against Georgia thanks to great goal from Arda Guler
Turkish National Team starts Euro 2024 tournament with an expected win against Georgia as it has managed to win with 3:1 scoreline but what was unexpected that it has ended up being much more difficult than it was awaited.
During pre-tournament friendly games it was visible that team doesnt have much issues with an attacking game but seems to be having serious issues at defensive game and this has been case during this game. Game has been started meanwhile in mediocre speed with Turkey trying to get control of the game as it slowly has managed to do so great shot from Mert Muldur has led side to go ahead and also found 2nd goal but has been disallowed rightly due of offside. Afterwards, it has conceded goal and has lost control of the game as game has progressed and has been switched off with showing slow game. 2nd half Turkey did once again raise tempo and provided fighting spirit with Arda Guler incredible show from distance has brought winning goal. With Georgia looking for an equaliser, it did provide lots of issues to Turkey goal but due of lack and also good performance of Mert Gundur it did start competition with win.
Georgia it needs to be mentioned has provided pretty brave game from 2nd part of 1st half and did show that it didnt to prove themselves and show top level performance and did provide lots of stressful moments and hence prevented Turkey to get an easy win with some people expected in country.
Turkey has got an important win and did get important 3 points for knockout stage chances but it does need to improve at defense if it wants to carry on getting good results.
Halil Umut Meler showed confident performance in Belgium and Slovakia game.
Euro 2024 game between Belgium and Slovakia has been one of the most discussed games so far during whole tournament mainly for decisions of 2 disallowed goals of Lukaku which did come from leading Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler.
Foremost, it needs to be stated that both decisions has been rightfully as in 1st position Lukaku has been clearly at offside and also handball of Belgium player has been right decision as it did control ball and provided advantage. It needs to be stated that including this decision even through it did come from VAR referee, Halil Umut Meler did provide strong cooperation with all referees and also generally he did look to be confident with his decision and didnt let game to go out of control especially taking account that Belgium has been frustrated both due of this 2 decisions and also generally being behind so he managed to keep Belgian player at control which included yellow card to technical staff member.
Hence, Halil Umut Meler did show strong character during game and could be appointed for few more games as tournament progresses in Germany.
Trabzonspor has made deal with Denis Dragus.
There were reports that Trabzonspor has made transfer deal with Standard Liege player Denis Dragus who has scored last goal against Ukraine after confident win of Romania at opening game for them.
With being loaned to Gaziantep on previous season and being one of the most successful players at the team he did show his potentiality for Turkish Super League and hence it shouldnt be see as big surprise of interest which has been shown from Trabzonspor. According to reports, deal has been made for 4+1 years and it is matter of time even through following game Denis Dragus didnt state that deal has been made with reminding that summer transfer window hasnt been open yet.
If Trabzonspor did make deal with player he would be able to provide an important strength to team as he is being good player with even more potential for future.
