What happened in Turkish football today? 09.04.2016


Konyaspor carries on undefeated record against Fenerbahce.

By winning Fenerbahce with 2:1 scoreline and providing compact football at the game, Konyaspor has proven to everyone why it didnt lose any games during calendar year of the 2016. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce didnt win last two games and are showing some warning signs as the league is reaching into point where both Fenerbahce and Besiktas cant afford to make mistakes.

It might be too harsh to state that Fenerbahce didnt provide attacking football and signs that it wanted to win today's game however it is certain that today's performance is not enough to win such a difficult opponent and in form Konyaspor. It is however important to underline and follower's of the Super League will know that Konyaspor high performance was during whole season. Another important issue is that Konyaspor has scored right into critical minutes of the football games: 2nd minute by Rangelov and 85th minute goal by Ali Camdamli. Fenerbahce players Fernandao, Nani and Souza did try to find positions however due of compact game by Konyaspor most of those shots has been happened at the rush situation and hence lacked quality.

With how league progresses in last weeks its hard to state that Fenerbahce has lost league title as Besiktas can lose games with difficult opponents coming up to them also. However, with both teams having only 7 games with Besiktas having 3 points more now, Besiktas has more control of the league.

Konyaspor meanwhile carries on its impressive undefeated period of 2016, and has shown that this is not accident by performance against Fenerbahce. It is for sure now that Konyaspor has set an eye to Europa League spot.

Galatasaray still performs weak  at the league games.

Galatasaray carries on losing points which are crucial for taking 4th spot which would allow team to recieve Europa League spot and able to go through its 1-year ban next season. In the similar manner as in the past weeks, Galatasaray was lacking motivation and fighting spirit to win today's game and instead has ended game with 1:1 scoreline against Rizespor.

The only player at the Galatasaray who provided any chance of the fighting spirit at the game today was Emre Colak, possibly as he sees this is a chance to make the club to extend contract with him more certain. Apart of Colak all of the players at the team were showing lack of creating chances during the game and has once again showing the game which is not suitable for big team at the league. To some extend the game was suitable for Rizespor as the point was enough for them. Emre Colak goal at 88th minute probably made everyone at the stadium calm down as team was very closer to find its first win for last 2 months, but Rizespor Tuzcynski goal at last minute has once again made Galatasaray lose points.

Even through the motivation towards the postponed game against Fenerbahce on 13th April would be different, in the sense of form it could be stated that team is not ready for the game. It is certain that Fenerbahce would be coming out for game in more motivational and stronger way.

Rizespor meanwhile got an important point for itself and makes it closer to make its stay for Super League next season for certain, few more points in next few weeks and it will not have stress of last week.

Trabzonspor has much more difficult task compare to previous two games.

Trabzonspor will be playing very important game against Basaksehirspor if it wants to get to its new target of Europa League at the end of the season as it would play against team who is currently is at 4th place of the league. Trabzonspor has stated this week that it would aim to make 7 out of 7 until end of the season, and it will be more clear if it is capable to achieve that from tomorrow game.

Until now, Trabzonspor has provided pretty poor performance with only winning teams which are located at the relegation zone and this game will be much tougher for them. Only possible side for Trabzonspor that it will be playing at home while winning last 2 games and in motivation wise might at the highest position during this calendar year. However, Trabzonspor need to be aware that Basaksehir wont allow Trabzonspor to win easily and hence should improve its game play if it wants to get 3 points at the game tomorrow. Even when Trabzonspor did manage to get a win it was observed that it was playing slow football without much motivation and focus.

Basaksehirspor in performance wise is better this season compare to its opponents and if players would play its best football it can upset Trabzonspor tomorrow but one thing is certain Trabzonspor would be fully focussed to a game.
