What happened in Turkish football today? 04/06/2024



Turkish defenders play did provide some positive signs in the game against Italy.

Turkish National Team game against European Championship title holders Italy has ended with goalless draw and did show pretty good performance from 1st out of 2 pre-Euro2024 friendlies as game has been played in pretty low tempo by both sides.

Tasks which has been set for this game has been to see how team would be responding to tactical performance of Italian side, check condition of uncertain players and hence make an important step with announced final 25 squad for Euro 2024 expected to be announced on 7 June. It could be mentioned that team did manage to pass that test especially at defence as attackers didnt provide very effective performance which has been mostly due of general low tempo of the game. One of the reasons of such low tempo and lack of excitement also could be set for technical staff and players aiming not to have any injuries prior ot final tournament. Stating that there was unwanted developent as Ozan Kabak did become injured and has been taken into hospital and hence his spot at Turkish National Team squad would be in question. As been noted its hard to analyse much attackers even through it did had some chances but defenders did show good performance especially on start of 2nd half when Italy has been more effective on field.

Even through it could be mentioned that this friendly game has been played at equal conditions for most part, it still could be mentioned that Italy has been slightly better side especially during start of 2nd half. It could be also mentioned that Italy didnt play its best game but it did have some issues still with overpassing Turkish defence.

Hence, Turkey did pass an important test prior to Euro 2024 as it did look confident especially at defence and hence did have some positive aspects and now we would be awaiting for final squad to be announced on 7th June and later with more ideal starting 11 squad would be expected to play 2nd friendly game against Poland. 

Erden Timur has resigned from his post due of high slander. 

Galatasaray administrator Erden Timur has announced that he has resigned from his post due of recieving high number of slander towards himself within from club in duration of whole season.

In fact, Erden Timur did state that decision of resignation has been decided prior to CEO election and club CEO Dursun Ozbek has been informed but he has decided to wait until end of the season to make an announcement for not affected team motivation and concentration at its title road. Despite of club stating for long time that there is unity in the team, such action didnt show its been strong one as Timur also stated that there is bad environment inside club and coming from inside club all this slander has made it even worser as if all this came from opponent teams it could be bearable and ignored. 

There seems to be hence some negative action towards Erden Timur during this period and has provided lots of pressure towards him in this period.

Aslan states that he was included at Aziz Yildirim administrative list without his knowledge

Kemal Fatih Aslan has made shocking statement that he has been included at Fenerbahce CEO candidate Aziz Yildirim administrative list without from his knowledge at the statement from social media.

Being written in pretty calm manner stating that he is being honoured to be included in the list and gives all best luck to both candidates, this action would been unacceptable from Aziz Yildirim and it is interesting to see how his name has been added without his knowledge as statement from Yildirim in this matter is being awaited especially when Aslan states clearly he would be supporting Ali Koc. 

This development would not be good news for Aziz Yildirim campaign as election will be taking place on 8th May.
