What happened in Turkish football today? 03/08/2024



Besiktas has got humiliating win against Galatasaray.

Besiktas has got a confident and surprisingly an easy win against Galatasaray at Turkish Super Cup with 5:0 scoreline as it started new season with a title and has shown full dominance of the game.

Our blog has stated on preview of the game that there has been questions how would Besiktas perform as Galatasaray didnt have much changes to its title winning squad while Besiktas which did aim to show much more competitive and stronger performance with changes of squad did create much more curiousity to Turkish football followers and Besiktas has overpassed those expectations. Without doubt an early goal from Ciro Immobile at 1st minute from simple mistake from Victor Nelsson did have an impact for rest of the game as Besiktas has shown much more organised game. It needs to be mentioned that in all fairness Besiktas didnt show its best game and are being far from its ideal game but it did look to be much more ready for game compare to Galatasaray.

Galatasaray on their part has shown surprisingly weak game as it didnt look to be concentrated, motivated and have any clear plans at attack with its performance and add to that poor performance and simple mistakes at defence has led for such outcome of the game. There were expectations that Galatasaray which more or less did come out with same squad to which it won title in last season, it has been very far away from performance which would be expected from them. It needs to be mentioned that despite of winning title for 2 years back-to-back in same seasons it didnt provide very good performance but even taking that account, Galatasaray has shown very uneffective game and doesnt look to be ready for upcoming season as it would be playing next week against Hatayspor.

Besiktas has wanted to win this Turkish Super Cup much more than Galatasaray and does provide view that its being ready for upcoming season while Galatasaray does provide crucial worrying sign prior to start of new Super League season.

Galatasaray has made deal with Norwich City player Gabriel Sara.

Norwich City player Gabriel Sara has arrived to Istanbul for one-on-one transfer negotiations with Galatasaray as club has made deal both with club and player and does look like it solved midfielding issue.

Galatasaray transfer politics during this summer transfer window has been to keep its title squad of last season but did see its weakest position is being an attacking midfielder and it does look it has solved this issue with signing Gabriel Sara. Even through Sara would not be seen among main star players at the squad with looking to names, he did show some good performance in previous season at Norwich and does have an advantage of providing good performance at different positions on the field and hence would be seen as an important addition to the squad.

Therefore,Galatasaray did make an important addition to its squad and has strengthened arleady its strong squad for upcoming season.

Al Khalood provided good offer to Besiktas for Jackson Muleka

Saudi Arabic clubs Al Khalood has offered 500,000 euro loan offer to Besiktas for Jackson Muleka with transfer option of 2.5 million euro fee which has been treated as good development for Turkish giant as it considers to sell player.

Jackson Muleka is being among players at the list which Besiktas does consider to sell during this summer transfer window as it didnt have plans to use player during this season and also seeked to reduce its foreign players list. With Saudi Arabic offering good amounts, it would not hard financially to convince Muleka and also team would be getting positive response. Besiktas still didnt respond for an offer but it is expected for team to get good positive response to such offer.

Needless to say, we would provide news at our accounts regarding response of Besiktas to this offer in upcoming days.
