What happened in Turkish football today? 19.05.2016

Galatasaray has dominated game against Kayserispor but didnt get Europa League spot.

Galatasaray was coming to the last game at the Super League against Kayserispor hoping that
Osmanlispor will not win its game against Akhisar Belediyespor for the them to get 5th place spot at the Super League and hence get 3rd Europa League spot from Turkey and get through 1 year of the ban. The plan was working up to 58th minute until Osmanlispor has managed to score to Akhisar Belediyespor.

Galatasaray has done its job during the game finding 4 goals until Akhisar Belediyespor has scored and has played very attacking football against team which just has been saved itself from drop-zone last week and did not provide any attacking football and has allowed Galatasaray to control the game. The fans of Galatasaray meanwhile has come to the stadium to support their team hoping to celebrate entrance to the Europa League. Even through Galatasaray did not get its 5th place spot it managed to provide great football for its supporters in otherwise very dissapointing season for them. The star of the game was Sinan Gumus who has done hat-trick during the game and general great performance among one of the potential and future stars of the Turkey.

Galatasaray has ended season with 6:0 scoreline what was otherwise very dissapointing season for them. Galatasaray still has chance to get to Europa League spot if it wins Turkish Cup final against Fenerbahce on 26th May and after that game it will start planning next season.
Kayserispor has managed to save itself from drop-zone what was otherwise very hard season for them. It needs to do a lot in summer to make itself stronger squad for next season.

Sivasspor mood was dominated with Genclerbirligi game.

Fenerbahce and Sivasspor character and mood of the game was dominated by the development of the game between Genclerbirligi and Antalyaspor as the result of the game would identify which teams would be eliminated from Super League.

Since Genclerbirligi and Antalyaspor was going with draw, and Antalyaspor needing to win its opponent, Sivasspor has managed to score two goals and with support of the fans during the game has provided great performance in 1st half. However, as goal news has arrived from Gaziantepspor the supporters became quiet and players of Sivasspor  lost hope to get result and has degreased the way it has performed during the game. This factor has made Fenerbahce to score 2 goals and finish the game at draw. Coming to the Fenerbahce its hard to analyse team as in similar as last week it has lost concentration since it lost chance for league title.

Fenerbahce as Galatasaray now needs to focus to the Turkish Cup final  and try to end this season with the cup if its possible and start planning for next season.

Sivasspor has tried to stay at the league but with previous mistakes it has been eliminated from league and now it needs to plan to return to league after 1 season at 1st league.

Kasimpasa tried to make miracle for Europa League with scoring 6 goals against Trabzonspor 

Kasimpasa was going out for the game against Trabzonspor believing that it can hope for draws by Akhisar Belediyespor- Osmanlispor game and loss of Galatasaray which by itself was difficult task. In similar manner, as Galatasaray at its game it has found 6 goals but it wasnt enough for them to get Europa League spot.

Trabzonspor meanwhile has conceded 7 goals last week has in total conceded 14 goals in last two games which once again shows that new head coach Ersun Yanal has lots of task to do with the team. Kasimpasa in fact did have good results during whole season managing not to lose Besiktas but it did lose lots of games which were important for them.

Trabzonspor will have new beginning from next season and will have great revision led by CEO Muharrem Usta and head coach Ersun Yanal and will try to do everything to make title contenders once next season.

Kasimpasa as said above had great season but it does need some improvements to be made to become Europa League contenders next season.

Besiktas has lost its final game against Konyaspor

Champions of the Turkish Super 2015-16 season Besiktas has lost its last game against Konyaspor with 2:1 scoreline which was awaiting scoreline as players and CEO Fikret Orman had spend whole last 3 days to the interviews, celebrations of the league title and partying.

The goals of the game has come in between 19th to 23rd minute where in fact Besiktas has got into lead with great goal by Jose Sosa but it had conceded two goals from Traore and Samuel Holmen in next 4 minutes. The game was infact as it was expected to be without any actions and as Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes has said after the game it was played worser than friendly game would been without both teams having any targets and motivation. Both players were just passing ball around and played for a game to end as it was prestige game between two sides.

Besiktas has got very important title at the end of the season and now needs to improve side a lot during summer transfer window if it wants to succeed at the Champions League next season.

Meanwhile, Konyaspor has made historical success and will perform next season at the Europa League. If the team works for improvement of squad it can fight for league title next season.

Galatasaray still has chance to get Europa League spot.

Galatasaray will come out at the last game of this Super League season with aims to win Kayserispor and hope that other results will go into their way so it can get Europa League last spot from the league route.

Kayserispor is right now 4 point ahead of relegation zone and hence doesnt have much scare at the last game of the week, and hence would play and to some extend with players being calm as their will be in Super League next season. Galatasaray is only aim to find goals at the game and hence it would provide more attacking football and hope that Kasimpasa, Akhisar Belediyespor and Osmanlispor (latter two playing against each other) results will go into their own advantage. If Galatasaray does manage to get Europa League spot at the last game it would surely will go Turkish Cup final against Fenerbahce in more calmer way.

Galatasaray chances to get that spot are not certain due of external factors but it is still possible for them and their would play believing into success.

Sivasspor would be more focussed into game against Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce is going to play its last game at the Super League of this season against Sivasspor, the game which is most certainly is more crucial for Sivasspor as it needs to win the game if it wants to stay at the league next season and hope that Gaziantepspor will at least draw.

In perspective of Fenerbahce, it will finish the league at 2nd place regardless how the game ends so therefore it has no motivation and target so it does make Sivasspor much strong favourite and in fact is good chance to make money from betting. However, this game could be important for Fenerbahce in sense to keep focussed prior to Turkish Cup final against Galatasaray but again there is one week until that game so motivation could be regained back faster within the week. Sivasspor would be one who would play risky football to find goals and very likely Fenerbahce would allow Sivasspor to create chances.

Despite of last spot at the Europa League is also will be decided in last week, the relegation area in sense of games is more exciting and hence this game might not be important for Fenerbahce still has by itself a huge signifacance for the league.

Besiktas just going to play last game at the league for formality.

Besiktas will play its last game of the Super League 2015-16 season in the Konya against Konyaspor at the game which is for both teams would be fully for formalities after very successful season. The result of the game would be open to any outcome.

Besiktas players and technical staff is surely were not busy at preparing themselves  to the game quite rightly as their were busy at celebrating their 14th league title after 6 years and giving interviews to various sports channels. When players will come out at the field, players would just play along possible with creating chances but would give even less 50% of effort to the game. Konyaspor in fact are more focussed to the game, even through for them league is also over, their still didnt celebrate and did some trainings. Meanwhile, Konyaspor administration has decided to raise prices of game twice from original price due of reaction to the Turkish Football Federation to play game on 18th May rather than 17th May.

The game will very likely to look like some boys kicking around ball at the field of your street but we might see some goals if lucky.

Trabzonspor has appointed Ersun Yanal for 2 years.

Trabzonspor has appointed its new head coach as Ersun Yanal who has a good history with the club and had one and half season at the team. Yanal did have good results during his first season but didnt provide same results in upcoming season.

Trabzonspor also needed to find head coach who would not cost much, have good winning record and would preferably be from Turkey and assuming into past record of the Ersun Yanal he was great option as it is known that Trabzonspor would aim to make once again a team which will fight for league title in next season. The last memorable moment of Ersun Yanal when he managed to make Fenerbahce champions 2 years ago with one month to go until end of the season. He was thrown out from Fenerbahce in scandalous manner and have joined to the team which he only recently had issues with recieving his past salaries. Yanal can make team stronger for next season as he has capability but is it enough to make them title contenders is questionable.

Ersun Yanal has a good experience with working also average players and make them develop and that also would be crucial for Trabzonspor success.

Volkan Demirel and Volkan Sen will have operation tomorrow.

Fenerbahce players Volkan Demirel and Volkan Sen would have an operation tomorrow and would miss an upcoming game against Galatasaray at the Turkish Cup final on 26th May. Even through this timing is not perfect this should be done as recovery process especially for Demirel will be taking long time.

Volkan Demirel recovery will take 2 months which is fine as his chances to be called to Turkish National Team for Euro 2016 were low and he would be recovered as the team will gather for the pre-season camp. Volkan Sen recovery is expected to take place before Euro 2016 but he would miss some friendly games and Turkish Cup final. Fenerbahce alternative players should be able to fill the role but it will not be easy without them as Galatasaray surely would provide one if its best performances of whole season at that final.

But as it was stated earlier those operation were needed to be done for them not develop into something more serious.

Besiktas has deserved league title from start of the campaign

With the win against Osmanlispor during 33rd week Super League game, Besiktas has got its 14th title after 6 year break. Besiktas during whole season and also with its performance yesterday has got deserved championship taking account what as the club it had experienced in sense of difficulties.

The team had some economical issues, no stadium which it had played without for past 3 years and including this season except of 3 games. From begining of the season it was visible that main aim of the team was to get league title this year and with the help of players, head coach Senol Gunes and CEO Fikret Orman it has reached to that set target despite of all this difficulties. The team head coach Senol Gunes has also experienced his first title in his coaching career, so did CEO Fikret Orman during his administration role. Besiktas fans and team have celebrated at most this title and now would just go for fun against Konyaspor on Wednesday and will also have celebrations for next few days, including big on 19th May.

Besiktas now needs to make even better team if it wants to carry on success next season and add to resume good performance at Champions League, but team is capable of achieving this.

Galatasaray has chance to get to Europa League spot.

Galatasaray are among few teams, and only one among big 4 teams, who have target during last week of this season as it still aims to get Europa League spot at game against Kayserispor and hope that Osmanlispor wins Akhisar Belediyespor.

Galatasaray was playing an important game yesterday against Akhisar Belediyespor and with a 2:1 win against them has opened another option for last week games as it aims to get Europa League spot via league route. Galatasaray was in fact lucky with a result as Akhisar Belediyespor had played better football and some of the penalty decisions were questionable. In fact, Akhisar Belediyespor head coach Cihat Arslan did criticise referees of the game stating that win for them was stolen from them. This is very rare comments by Cihat Arslan who tends to be fair and neutral with comments after games regardless against who their play. Galatasaray needs to consider itself lucky yesterday, but we would see if it will get same luck during last weeks results.

Galatasaray will surely aim to end this season at high note despite of poor performance with Super League last game against Kayserispor and Turkish Cup final against Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce has mentally ended this season.

Even through physically players were present at the game against Genclerbirligi, mentally their had ended this season after last week results. It did manage to win the game but as stated yesterday it was allowed to aimless Genclerbirligi.

It is very hard to play games when it became clear that it will not become champions as was visible with many leagues around world all the time. It still had provided not bad performance with good last touches by Robin van Persie but the players did look like their wanted for the game to be ended as soon as possible. In fact, surely if it was asked for players not to play game without any circumstances their agree to that offer. Right now the focus is more into future of some players including Bruno Alves and Michael Kadlec being two who would surely leave team.

Next game will be against Sivasspor who needs to win to stay at the league and therefore it might not be that straightforward win for Fenerbahce and in fact Sivasspor can consider themselves lucky and timely to play against them in such crucial time for them.

Besiktas become champions of the Super League

Besıktas has become champions of the Super League season of the 2015-16 with a style as it provided high-tempo attacking performance today which became one of the important factors to get the title during whole season. The team as always has dominated game and providing an image that players were focussed to the league title which was awaiting them at the end of the game.

Besiktas was coming out to the game where draw was enough against the opponents which needed also to win today, but it had managed to win the game with a comfortable scoreline with 3:1 and providing performance which is suitable for the champions. With help of the loyal supporters for the 90 minutes at the Vodafone Arena it has also achieved what Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman has set an eye to which is to get its first league title at the newly-built stadium. One of the interesting factors which was observed during the game is performance of the defenders. Marcelo has scored 2 goals and Sosa has provided a great performance with number of attacks. Also one of the best players of the whole season Mario Gomez has also scored a 3rd goal during the game which made it certain that Besiktas to get title.

Besiktas has won the title in deserved way during which from beginning it had set an eye to get a title and had played in that manner, and right now players has got a great reward and especially head coach of the Senol Gunes. Right now Besiktas is setting an eye to the next season and Champions League.

Osmanlispor currently did make its case for 5th spot a bit hard but it was always hard for them to win game which has dominated with Besiktas aims to get league title.

Fenerbahce has won against Genclerbirligi despite of low morale.

Fenerbahce set-mind of head coach Vitor Pereira, players and especially fans who didnt come to the game being aware that its chances to getting league title at the end of the season are incredible low. Even through it still has won the game this was also due of fact that Genclerbirligi focus was also low or otherwise game was played at friendly game manner.

It is hard to analyse this game as during mental situation of both teams where clubs just were playing for formalities and having low motivation. The fans also meanwhile were awaiting of the Euroleague final at the Berlin between basketball team of the Fenerbahce and CSKA Moscow, and low importance of the game has led stadium to be empty. With realising that the aims of this season is over, Fenerbahce still controlled and looked good physically but with behaviour it was obvious that their didnt try hard to get into attack. Fenerbahce did win game without giving a lot of effort.

Fenerbahce are now waiting for 34th and last game week against Sivasspor which is more crucial to their opponents as it will decide for them to stay at the league or not. After that Fenerbahce will have Turkish Cup final against Galatasaray which  promises to be great game for viewers.

Genclerbirligi has finished the league as was seen by the mediocre performance and right now are arleady making plans for next season.

Selcuk Inan penalty goals has made Galatasaray to win game against Akhisar Belediyespor.

Galatasaray meanwhile was playing an important game against Akhisar Belediyespor which was important for them to get to 5th place at the Super League and hence get Europa League spot through league route. Its still didnt reach to that aim, but it get into last week of the Super League with possibility to receive that position with lots of luck.

Akhisar Belediyespor has in fact provided better start to the game compare to Galatasaray but didnt manage to convert number of the chances during the game however the two penalties converted by Galatasaray player Selcuk Inan has given an important win against Akhisar Belediyespor with 2:1 result. As been stated with Besiktas going for league title all of the focus were given to them and hence both teams didnt manage to provide a very attacking football.

Galatasaray will certainly now aim to get 2 out of 2 wins against Super League last game against Kayserispor and also Turkish Cup final against Fenerbahce on 26th May. It will try to end the league at high note which was otherwise very poor season for them.

Akhisar Belediyespor now need to aim to win its last game to get last spot of Europa League which it would play against their direct opponents Osmanlispor.

Besiktas are planning to get long-awaited league title in the 33rd week Super League game against Osmanlispor as only one point is enough for them to get to their set target. For Osmanlispor however the game is also very important as with this win it would carry on chances to finish league title at 5th place and possible Europa League spot.

Besiktas and Turkish media are seeing themselves game against Osmanlispor as the game which would make them get league title as everyone seems to be certain that their will not lose at their own field, as it made 2 out of 2 at the Vodafone Arena so far. However, their opponents are tough one and are capable at making surprise against leaders of the league. Osmanlispor are having very good record at the away games which includes winning Galatasaray and drawing against Fenerbahce so therefore Osmanlispor wouldnt just allow to get title to Besiktas without any effort. Besiktas players need to be aware that their would need to fight to get at least one point.

The fans which would come to the game would expect Besiktas to become champion and hence celebrate the league title and if Besiktas does lose it would be huge dissapointment to supporters which would lead to shock.

Fenerbahce performance will depend on development at Besiktas game.

Fenerbahce task is a bit easier compare to Besiktas in the sense of the opponent, as Genclerbirligi dont have any aims at the league and therefore does make Fenerbahce chances of winning better. But being dependant to the Besiktas game for having small chance to take title race to last week would provide lots of psychological pressure to a team.

For Fenerbahce to become champion it needs to win all 2 games and hope that Besiktas will lose its 2 games, even through mathematically are possibly logically chances for this to happen are very low. This factor would therefore affect negatively to the Fenerbahce side both to players and technical staff. With the possibility for low number fans also coming to the game, the character of the game is very likely to be dominated by how Besiktas game against Osmanlispor will develop. More likely the viewers would see Fenerbahce which will play with very low motivation and might even give some chances to its goal to the Gaziantepspor.

Only thing which Fenerbahce can do with those scenario is to win tomorrow and hope for good news from Osmanlispor and then hope for last week results.

Galatasaray and Akhisar Belediyespor are fighting for 5th and possible Europa League spot.

Galatasaray game is also among very important ones as it would play against team which it fights for possible 5th position at the table and hence getting Europa League spot but with how league develops the chances of this are very low.

There is still competition taking place for very important 5th place at the league for the Europa League spot and with Galatasaray being at 7th place and Akhisar being at 6th place and also with result from Besiktas and Osmanlispor, both sides would hope that Besiktas will become champion at the night. In other words, all those 3 games results have direct affect to each side. The game will be likely to be tactical with both sides being aware that losing is more dangerous to the game as point difference between two teams is 3 points with Akhisar with having upper hand for this fight for as it is 3 points behind Osmanlispor.

The game will be one of the interesting ones but due of championship race taken place between two teams will probably not recieve lots of attention on the night.

What happened in Turkish football today? 13.05.2016

Trabzonspor recieves biggest loss from Antalyaspor in its history.

After humilating Rizespor with 6:0 scoreline during last week game, Trabzonspor has lost even much worser to the Antalyaspor with 7:0 scoreline during 33rd week game. Today's game went into statistics as biggest win for Antalyaspor in its history while for Trabzonspor it was worst ever loss.

The following game was played with weaker sides by both sides but as we can see from scoreline Antalyaspor players took this prestige game more seriously and has dominated game with scoring non-stop to Trabzonspor and making this night for them like a nightmare. The star of the player was certainly Omer Sismanoglu who managed to score 3 goals and assists 2 goals which made his name in involvement of total 5 goals and probably statistically has provided his best performance in his career. Trabzonspor has provided a nice scoreline last week and has provided an image that it could end this season at high note but to some extend this game has underlined whole season of the Trabzonspor, with low motivation and focus during the game. Trabzonspor administration with this result and whole season has decided to sack its head coach Hami Mandirali.

Trabzonspor will play its last game of the season against Gaziantepspor which might go out to the game which it must need to win and there will be no surprise if it manages to do that and stay at the league. Trabzonspor players mind are switched off and has ended this season mentally.

Antalyaspor meanwhile can be happy as it provided historical win today and has continued great results against big 4 teams during 2nd half of the season. Another plus note that this historical win has been recieved without Samuel Eto'o at the squad.

League title will be given to Besiktas next week regardless how Osmanlispor game ends.

With lots of the conversation going around if Super League title will be send to Vodafone Arena on 15th May for 33rd week game between Besiktas and Osmanlispor it was decided by both sides that title will be given at the last game against Konyaspor.

Besiktas just needs one point to clinch title which it aims to achieve on game against Osmanlispor however both Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman and TFF CEO Yilmaz Demiroren stating that the Besiktas are not yet champions and it will be wrong to bring title to Vodafone Arena this Sunday. Fikret Orman state that if Besiktas will become champions this week than it will celebrate at the stadium next week but there will be still be celebration by supporters and players as should be expected after the game. The decision is correct one as in case if Besiktas loses game it will rise more nervous situation at the stadium.

Besiktas is surely are aiming for league title this weekend but Osmanlispor are capable of bringing surprise to Besiktas players and supporters so title could be not be solved this weekend.

Bursaspor doesnt consider to sell its player Serdar Aziz.

Bursaspor has announced that club's player Serdar Aziz rumours of him leaving the team for more paid team are not true and is disrespectful to the club and Serdar Aziz himself. It underlines that Serdar Aziz doesnt raise much issue for salary and doesnt mind to be paid later.

One of the hot players of this summer transfer window, at least by media, looks to be Serdar Aziz as there are arleady rumours surrounding that big 3 teams are willing to purchase him and so are some European sides. Serdar Aziz has been in Bursaspor for long time including when it won title on 2009-2010 season. It is very unlikely that team will sell him for cheaper price and it is known that Aziz, currently injured, is very happy at the club. Saying that it doesnt mean that he will not leave the team but chances are very low.

Serdar Aziz is great player regularly being called to Turkish National Team so its not surprising that  many teams want to transfer him but Bursaspor needs also strong team and hence reduces chances of team selling him this summer.
