Elimination of Trabzonspor

Elimination of Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor, of Turkey has been eliminated from UEFA Europa Cup League by Juventus of Italy.  

          Trabzonspor Coach Hami Mandirali

              Juventus Coach Antonio Conte

I wrote a blog previously about Tranzonspor's 14 game unbeaten streak in Europe titled:

'14 in a row for Trabzonspor',

Tranzonspor's 14 game unbeaten streak ended with a record in 'European Competition' this season of:

9 wins,

5 ties; &

2 losses. 

Tranzonspor's goal of trying to surpass the record held by Galatasaray of Istanbul, Turkey; has ended.  The record was '15 games unbeaten streak' in Europe.  

I would like to send out my 'congratulation' to Trabzonspor; hopefully next season will be even better then this year. 

Sincerely.  

Last 32, including Trabzonspor

Last 32, including Trabzonspor

Last 32 teams to make it this far in the 'UEFA Europa League Cup' has been decided.  

The matchup, which I will look forward to watching is the one between Juventus of Turin, Italy and Trabzonspor of Trabzon, Turkey. 

The final of the 'UEFA Cup' will be played on May 14, 2014 in Juventus Stadium, therefore Juventus will be very motivated to make it to the finals, and eliminate the Turkish side.  

Trabzonspor, on the other hand, will be 'focused' since the team just replaced their head coach of Mustafa R Akcay with assistant coach Hami Mandirali, who will want to prove himself to management, for a longterm contract.  

This will be a very good head-to-head matchup, to be played on the following dates of:

February 20, 2014 &

February 27, 2014. 

The winner of this match-up, will face the winner of: 

Esbjerg of Denmark versus Fiorentina of Italy for the 'Round of 16'.  

I am hoping for an exciting game and may the better team make it to the last 16 of this difficult competition. 

Thank you.
