What happened in Turkish football today? 26/06/2024



Turkey showed strong character as it got to knockout stages with stressful win against Czechs

Turkey has managed to get crucial win against Czech Republic as all calculations for loss due of Georgia winning Portugal has been taken away from calculations has raised tension and excitement of the game.

It needs to be mentioned foremost that regardless of game between Portugal and Georgia and Turkish media keep talking about 3rd place scenario, it was visible that Turkey did come out for win as it did provided an attacking game and has controlled game while all of the talks of Czech Republic attack being not very strong especially without Patrick Schick has been visible at game with goal from Czech Republic did come from chance and bit loss of concentration from Turkish players. It needs to be mentioned however after 1:1 Turkey did lose calm which has been present at has been dissapeared after Soucek has equalised and Turkey did look to be in panic mood which was unneeded and one of the issues has been for team to look too  much into attacking game and even if Cenk Tosun did find that winning goal it was too risky game as it could concede from Czechs. Still, this has been a very important win and team has provided lots of strong and attacking game and generally has been side to control game apart end of it.

Czech Republic without doubt did come for a win but red card which was recieved on early minutes and also having some weaknesses at attacking game has affected to game realising their chances into converting some chances. Luckily for Turkey,Czechs also didnt convert in the end of 2nd half and generally it needs to be admitted with all 3 games it didnt much deserve to get to knockout stages.

Turkey still managed to get into knockout stages with providing strong character and also did provide organising game before 1:1 but after that it did look to lose control but still its been important for Cenk Tosun has converted historical goal in the end of the game.

Halil Umut Meler looks more confident at Euro2024 than domestically.

With group stages being over at the Euro 2024, another representative from Turkey has been leading referee of country Halil Umut Meler who does provide pretty good performance following mentally difficult season.

As been noted on previous blogs, UEFA has once again has appointed to an important tournament Turkish referee regardless of high criticism which that name recieves domestically and without doubt Halil Umut Meler has been one. With refereeing at 2 games and being appointed as 4th referee, it needs to be mentioned that he did show some confident performance with his decision and did get authority on the field. He also did look to  be more confident when making decisions at the games compare to Super League games which again does show of pleasure and atmosphere differences. With such good performance and confident stance, it would be expected for him to be appointed at knockout stages at least for 1 game.

Halil Umut Meler did join Euro 2024 as one of leading referees in Europe and it needs to be mentioned that he did fulfill this task.

Trabzonspor has started summer transfer window very actively

Trabzonspor without doubt has been most active side at transfer front in the start of the transfer window with an aim to make strong competitive side for next season as it signed Rangers players Borna Barisic and John Lundstram and Standard Liege player Denis Dragus.

Trabzonspor without doubt has made strong competitive side with this transfers and did get players who are capable to  show strong level performance and raise level of performance with Denis Dragus has an important advantage of playing at Gaziantep and showing leading performance and hence will not have any issues with adaptation. Trabzonspor also aims to continue its active transfer window with being close to Cihan Canak. Therefore, Trabzonspor is making an important changes at its squad with an aim to complete almost all signings prior to its pre-season training camp.

Trabzonspor has made very important addition to the squad and it does look to be among one of most discussed teams during this summer transfer window in upcoming days.
