A must win match for Turkey:Turkey vs Romania

On Friday, Turkish National team and Abdullah Avci must  win  Romania match in Rustu Saracoglu stadium, if they want to capture the second place in the group D.

Holland will play against week side Andorra while Turkey and Romania will clash in Istanbul and Estonia will take on Hungary .

Estonia  has not win a match in the group yet....

Estonia beating Hungary , will be good for Turkish National team.....

After Friday's match Turkey will travel to Hungary to face Hungary national team on Oct,16th.2012

In Group D , Romania and Holland both have six points while Turkey and Hungary with three points.

With a win Turkey could  catch Romania and might even capture the second place in the group....

That is why this match is very important before Hungary match!

 Turkish National team  coach Abdullah Avci   said " In two matches played so far in the group, there have been no surprise results."Romania are the group leaders and, like us, have gathered a young team. A tough game awaits us."

He also said, they are waiting for big support from Turkish fans on Friday.....


So far, Romania won their both matches and Turkey won one and loss one....

Turkey's young defense has to be very good against Romanian  experience offence...

In the middle, Arda Turhan, Emre Belozoglu  and Nuri Sahin or Mehmet Topal should have very good full match

On top ,names like Burak Yilamz and Hamit Altintop  should score and take a lot of shot on goal..

Of course in goal, Volkan Demirel should have a flawless match also..

So, if Abdullah Avci does not want any October surprises, he should win this match against Romania on Friday and win Hungary match on next Tuesday too!

Lastly, Not picking goal keeper Onur Kivrak from Trabzonspor was huge mistake for Abdullah Avci!

That's the way  I see it......

First Derby of the Season, Fenerbahce vs Besiktas






Perhaps, the match of the week, in the seventh week will take place in Sukru Saracoglu stadium , between Fenerbahce and Besiktas....

Fenerbahce coming out strong from their Europa match and wining big in Germany....


But, Alex De Souza and Aykut Kocaman saga hurt Fenerbahce  in the league.....


Alex De Souza is no longer with Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce terminated his contract in a ugly way.....


He should never left the team, the way he is leaving!


Alex De Souza, on Monday , will hold a press conference and will say good bye to Turkish fans and Fenerbahce fans....


8 years of hard work, dedication and courage and his gentleman style,will never be forgotten by Fenerbahce and Turkish Football fans...


As one who followed this saga and feud between Alex and Aykut Kocaman, last three years ,



I want to say this......


Aykut Kocaman, was thinking a team without Alex De Souza, when he took over from Daum!


But, he has tried that ever since that time ,but just could not do it......


In between, Aykut Kocaman gave his three resignation, because of Alex De Souza , but he end up making u -turn!


That was three times....


The recent one was after loss to Kasimpasa in the week sixth,,,,,,,'


What ever the case , Alex De Sousa will be loved by first, Fenerbahce fans and Turkish football fans...


He will be missed!


Now, about derby match....


Fenerbahce playing at home, but only in front of women and children fans.....


Because of suspension by TFF, male fans will not be allowed to watch this match!


Dick Kuyt ,Raul Meireles, could be the go to guys, for Fenerbahce against Besiktas.


On the other hand, Besiktas's  Fernandes could be  brain master for Besiktas if he play good on Sunday.


Both teams coaches are Turkish.....


Besiktas will be coached by their former player Samet Aybaba and Fenerbahce will be coached by their former player Aykut Kocaman...


Samet Aybaba is much older then Kocaman,,,, Aybaba is 57 years old.......


Aybaba, has never coached big Istanbul clubs until this season....


On the other hand, Kocaman got his first shut as coaching big club , three years ago after  sports directors job at Fenerbahce.


According to some  pundits in the Turkish media, He was the reason why German coach Daum lost his job......


Anyway, This first derby match in Turkey , this football season will be fun to watch....


At least , I hope so !


After Galatasaray losing points on Saturday aginst Eskisehir at the last minutes, bot of the teams would want to close the gap on top.........


Fenerbahce  with 9 and Besiktas with 8 points before this match....


A win for Fenerbahce will make them with 12 points and they will join four other teams who are with 12 points on top , just under the league's top team Galatasaray with 13 points....



If Besiktas wins, they will surpass Fenerbahce and move up with 11 points...


So,a draw will not benefit both of the teams.....


Both of the teams, will go for kill, I think!


This is why this match will be fun to watch....


That is why ,this match is "the match of the week " !


Former Besiktas defender Egemen Korkmaz will play for the first time against his former team and Ugur Boral former Fenerbahce defender will play against Fenerbahce, for the first time, too....



I could sure you, there will be chants for great Alex De Souza , in the stands ......
