Süper Lig - Turkey

[Eco]

Just now, Stan said:

True. Just think the relegation battle is much more interesting  

No doubt, but it's crazy to think you have BY FAR the three biggest clubs in Turkey, all fighting just for a European spot. 

[Stan]

Well this isn't dodgy, at all. In no way.

Basaksehir are state-run and top of the league. For them to win the league today, they needed to win and hope Trabzonspor didn't.

Basaksehir win 1-0.

Trabzonspor were 3-1 up until the 81st minute. Then relegation-threatened Konyaspor score 3 goals and win 4-3

Change some of the team names and you have the Russian Premier League

Turkey is really underachieving as a football nation

Hello Dear Stan, I'm glad to be here..

Söyüncü and Ünder have been friends since childhood. Since Bucaspor and Altınordu Football Club - youth team (Two football club is the team of Turkey's İzmir city.). I hope Söyüncü and Ünder will make a great contribution to Leicester City. In addition, Ünder and Söyüncü will hopefully contribute to the Turkish National Team. Fenerbahçe's coach changed. Fenerbahçe's Coach is Erol Bulut now. Former Fenerbahçe football player.. Many new transfers have been made. It was  first match of the Super League: Rizespor 1-2 Fenerbahçe last week. Most of the new transfers have not played and are still ongoing. I can say that the league will be very tough for now.

Welcome to the forum, @fearfull! Any news of what's happening with the legal battle between Kruse and Fenerbahce? I read that Kruse sued the club for allegedly unpaid wages, and then Fenerbahce sued him for 18 million due to him canceling his contract and signing with Union Berlin.

Thank you..

It was unethical for Kruse to leave the team due to the pandemic. Sports lawyer Horst Kletke said, "Kruse goes to another club, but if the contract termination is deemed invalid, there will be a huge problem. In this case, the two clubs will be the contracted footballer. In this case, Kruse may have to pay Fenerbahçe compensation."

What are your thoughts on this derby?

Edited September 27, 2020 by fearfull

[Stan]

Gutted I'm missing this. BT Sport used to air some Turkish games but I think that's only because of lockdown and other football wasn't being played.

No doubt it'll be a feisty one.

Was looking at this game as a potential for the next one in the First Goal competition. Am I right in thinking Fenerbahce don't have a particularly good record in away at Gala...

Galatasaray started the first 2 matches in SüperLig, organized and ready. Fenerbahçe management has made many transfers and there are still deficiencies in the team. Galatasaray's coach Terim is much more experienced than Fenerbahçe's coach Bulut and knows the derby atmosphere very well.
