"DO OR DIE" FOR TURKISH TEAMS IN THE UEFA

Trabzonspor, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce on the verge of saying goodbye to European competitions....

Besiktas is the only team who has one foot in the Euro League groups out of four...


Trabzonspor, Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor should have a perfect win if they want to move to group stages,,,,

The most important match in Turkey will take pace in Trabzon..

Trabzonspor will take on world famous Liverpool at Avni Aker Stadium...

Trabzonspor is of the best teams in Turkey and sits on top of the SPOR TOTO Super League!


Trabzonspor will have the 12th man in the stands...

That will be huge factor in this match....

Under- pressure Liverpool, is missing captain Steven Gerrard and striker Fernando Torres...

Trabzonspor defense and the young skipper Onur Kivrak, has to have a perfect match.

Fnerbahce lost their league match to Trabzonspor in Trabzon on Monday...

And They are still having issues on defense and in the goal..

Against Trabzonspor, third string keeper Mert was in the goal for Fnerbahce...

Although he saved a penalty kick in Trabzon match he is inexperience young keeeper,,,

If Volkan does not play that could spell danger for Aykut Kocaman's Fenerbahce!

Like Trabzonspor, Fnerbace should beat PAOK with perfect score...

WHY ROBINHO SNUB TURKISH TEAMS?

So,Robinho has rejected a move to Turkey!


First Besiktas than Fenerbahce offered him pretty good money...

26-year-old said Robinho said : 'With all due respect to Turkish football, I'm not going to play there right now.



I wonder , over the weekend, talking to his friend , had anything to do with his decision?


Lately, Brazilian players are under a lot of pressure playing in Turkey!


Another factor, Robinho still young and only 26 years old...


His friend Elano, probably gave him pretty good idea about Turkey and Turkish football that is why he said, 'With all due respect to Turkish football, I'm not going to play there right now. "

With this comment, he left a open door for him to play in Turkey, in the later years of his football career!

So, this was clear snubbing job by Robinho to Turkish Teams!

TRABZONSPOR BEAT FENERBAHCE 3-2!

TRABZONSPOR BEAT FENERBAHCE 3-2!

WORST START EVER FOR GALATASARAY!

Frank Rijkaard with Ahmet B Turgut-2003




Turkish Spor Toto Super League begin only two weeks a go and Turkish Giants Galatasaray , hit rock bottom!

They are in the second from bottom of the Turkish Spor Toto Super League at the end of second week!


This is the worst start for Frank Rijkkard's Galatasaray.......


Galatasaray lost their second match in a row, suffering a 0-2 home defeat by Bursaspor.

The Turkish press after this disaster start wants Frank Rijkaard's head!

They want him to be sacked and Fatih Terim to come back to coach the team...

How absurd and stupid is that.....'

With this in the defending champs Bursaspor is back at on top of the Turkish Spor Toto Super League.

Besiktas crash at home................


Besiktas suffered their first defeat of the season on Saturday.

New German Besiktaş coach Bernd Schuster, not knowing the Turkish Super Leagu teams just yet mad a huge mistake and went all out with attacking minded team..
