What happened in Turkish football today? 25.10


Fenerbahce has proven again to Galatasaray that it is hard to beat them at their own field

The latest biggest derby game has ended with 1:1 draw with some positive performance by both teams whose aim was to get three points after very crucial derby game for both teams. As it is known position of two teams made the result of the game more important.

As it is been mentioned at our blog and social accounts Galatasaray really believed that it could beat Fenerbahce after either losing or drawing for past 16 years. However, the performance of Fenerbahce from beginning of the game has shown to its opponent that it doesnt have any intention of letting stop this series, at least tonight.

Fenerbahce as club has shown one of the best defence performances since season started which let Galatasaray having troubles at creating dangerous attacks. In fact during whole game Galatasaray has only a goal and shot by Snejder which flew into hands of Volkan Demirel.

Only problem which could be noted by Fenerbahce is staying defensively after 60th minute of the game which provided confidence to Galatasaray in attacking way and which led to goal scored by Olcan Adin.

In overall, it was a positive game without any polemics and fights among   player and most notably no red cards. It is rarity in Turkey for derbies. After game everyone will talk about game and no controversiers. Also its need to put as feednote that this result is best for Besiktas, if it wins Antalyaspor tomorrow which would bring point difference to 5 against its main opponents.

Okan Buruk is similar to Yalcin but  new name should bring more morale to team

Following termination of contract with Sergen Yalcin yesterday night, as soon as this morning Sivasspor has appointed Okan Buruk as new head coach of the team. This fast appointment shows that club was interested and ready to sign Okan Buruk prior to resignation by Yalcin.

Talks at the Sivasspor regarding of Yalcin looks to be going at least for a week and Okan Buruk was put into the wait, as it is clear that there was negotiations with Buruk behind the scenes taking place.
Being from same era of Turkish players from 1990's-early 2000's in similar manner as Sergen Yalcin, Okan Buruk has also his coaching experience through mediocre teams at the Super League.

Undoubetdly its unexpected to expect Buruk to head coach champion style team, but his performance could be qualified as satisfactorily and he should be able to lift performance and morale of the Sivasspor. Plus the effect of new coach and new blood at team should become positive for a team in upcoming weeks and gain points.

Sivasspor  game allows new restart for Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor has got very important win in game against Sivasspor yesterday as it allowed to recieve a morale which was lacking at the team in past weeks. Another aspect is that following win has also motivated head coach Shota Arveladze who showed his unhappiness at situation at the club.

With Trabzonspor not becoming champion for long time, it can be forgotten that club is always aiming to the title at the start of campaign. However, bad results in each year has always risen tension among supporters and administators. Problem was the tension has always brought  more problems rather than solutions to team.

With following win, it is important for Shota Arveladze, players, administrators and supporters to have calmer period forget about external issues, and try to win games or otherwise it would have another unsuccessful season. Yesterday win against Sivasspor could be great start for restart of the season with high targets.
