What happened in Turkish football today? 24.10.2016


Fenerbahce has won an important game against Konyaspor.

Fenerbahce has won very important away game against Konyaspor during Super League 8th week despite of playing very poorly in attacking and to some extend being lucky during game, but it has provided very good defensive game against its opponents.

The game in fact wasnt played at very high excitement with lack of the attacks due of strong defence by the Fenerbahce as Konyaspor has dominated and controlled game even more successfully. To some extend Fenerbahce did play game which was similar to the last year Vitor Pereira style of play as it found single goal and later has focussed into defensive, even through this is not very attacking and exciting game which is suitable for a team like Fenerbahce it still got a result which it was seeking for especially now as it was going tough times. Dick Advocaat in fact has stated after game that he was unhappy with this style of game but it was needed for this game especially. Meanwhile, Robin van Persie didnt manage to score at 3 chances back to back with hitting post at first position and later with two headers, which was dissapointing taking account his level of game.

Konyaspor meanwhile has performed a good game but has lacked of creativity at the front which led only one shot into target despite of controlling game in posession. It has also complaint about a lot of Martin Skrtel position at the penalty area but it was too some extend arguable possession as it could been hitted him in natural way.

Fenerbahce has very important game in a similar way as did Trabzonspor agaisnt Galatasaray on Saturday which to some extend has put this two place still at the race of league title even through still having tough times. Now its important for Fenerbahce (and Trabzonspor) to carry on getting points in next weeks.

Besiktas carries on impressive performance at the Super League.

Besiktas has provided confident win against Antalyaspor during Super League 8th week game with 3:0 scoreline and has shown that it recieved high motivation from 3:2 win against Napoli at the midweek during Champions League.

Besiktas did provide very impressive game despite of having some trouble times with top performance by the Antalyaspor who has showed their character during game even after their player Diego has recieved red card due of intense arguments given to the referee decision to give goal of Vincent Aboubakar, arguing that the goal was illegitimate due of foul in start of attack. It needs to be stated that very likely Besiktas would still won game as been stated yesterday in blog but it would be as simple as it was yesterday. In fact Besiktas had tough time around until 75th minute but after that it became visible that Antalyaspor has become tired which allowed them to get easy win with following scoreline. Only bad news from yesterday game was injury of Caner Erkin whose injury is reported to take place at least for 6 months due of seriousness but team is determined to recover him as soon as possible. Otherwise, it was good night for them.

Besiktas is now sharing first spot with Basaksehirspor who carries on its impressive record and Istanbul side making it clear that it has no intention to slow down now.

Galatasaray will start its defence of Turkish Cup againt Dersimspor.

Galatasaray will start its campaign for defending its last Turkish Cup title at the 3rd round of the competition against 3rd league team Dersimspor at the game which is expected to get an easy and confident win.

This game could be a great chance to regain its motivation at the home ground with the support of the fans even through their not expected to be full house as it was against Trabzonspor and also Galatasaray will not play with its main squad and is likely to provide more substitute chance and provide chance for the youngsters. Galatasaray as it is known has high aims for this season Turkish Cup as  it does and would surely only aim for a win even through the question if it would give enough high effort as another question. Dersimspor is bottom at the 3rd league and hence the gap between its too big for Dersimspor to provide suprise even through anything can happen in football.

This is also last game prior of group stage at the Turkish Cup and hence its good game to get prepared for that much more tough stage and also get motivation for Super League.
