What happened in Turkish football today? 08.04.2016


Both Fenerbahce and Konyaspor would aim not to lose game.

Fenerbahce will be playing against strong opponent at the away game tomorrow which also been coached by ex-player and coach of the Fenerbahce Aykut Kocaman. Fenerbahce and Konyaspor among being crucial game for two teams could be also easily referred as game of the week.

Fenerbahce would be coming to the Konyaspor with knowing that it needs to make 8 out of 8 from rest of the season, while Konyaspor is only team at the Super League who are unbeaten for calendar year of 2016. Both teams have very strong aims and targets and more likely would provide its best football for the next 90 minutes. Since defence wise Fenerbahce is being very strong it needs to improve its attack at the game tomorrow without Robin van Persie being at the squad. Konyaspor knowing that Fenerbahce needs to score would very likely provide strong defence in similar manner as Osmanlispor did in last week against Fenerbahce. It does need to remember that for Konyaspor draw is good enough as it would keep them chances to finish league at 3rd place while Fenerbahce losing points would make them lose control of its destiny for the league title.

This game will be also 4 days before Galatasaray postponed game and hence with playing against another strong opponent would help to identify club's situation prior to derby game. This could also be chance to analyse itself prior to Turkish Cup semi-final game against same opponent later in the month.

Galatasaray and Rizespor has chance to analyse itself prior to Turkish Cup tie.

In fact, this week is an interesting one as it allows to meet two Turkish Cup games at the Super League on the same day as Galatasaray would play against team which it will meet at the 2nd tournamant in the country.

Taking account circumstances, such as playing against cup opponent and last game prior to derby against Fenerbahce, Fenerbahce-Konyaspor and this game are very similar. But tactically this games are different as their have different aims. It does look like Galatasaray have forgotten about the league while Rizespor even through 7 points ahead of relegation zone would see this as chance to make it placement safer with at least getting a point from a game. It will be  hard task to beat Galatasaray but Rizespor does have great chance. It does seem that Galatasaray main focus right now is towards postponed Fenerbahce game and hence this factor could also provide extra bonus to the Rizespor.

Still, the game could be interesting as both teams would even more aim to analyse itself prior to Turkish Cup semi-final games as both teams are known to be aiming for the final game understandably.

Senol Gunes moving to Trabzonspor rumour is just absurd.

One of the interesting rumours at today's media was that Trabzonspor does see Besiktas head coach
Senol Gunes as one of the options as head coach for next season if it doesnt agree with foreign ones. Trabzonspor CEO Muharrem Usta has declined following rumour but even if its true its pretty absurd.

It does not seem that Besiktas will be ending contract with its head coach Senol Gunes even if team doesnt become champions as he did good job at the team and has lots of support and trust from the club. It is understandable why Trabzonspor would like him as he has good past with a team as he almost made them champions at the "match-fixing" season and is liked by supporters and also being himself from Trabzon. But as stated Gunes is himself happy at the Besiktas also and he would like to return to Trabzonspor but certainly not now.

There seems to be lots of rumours to be going around Turkish media until and during summer transfer window. We would report them but it does need to be remembered that specific answers will be given by signed papers by person in question and club.
