What happened in Turkish football today? 28.10.2016


Besiktas has got 1 point from Genclerbirligi without providing great game.

Super League opening 9th week game between Besiktas and Genclerbirligi has been ended with 1:1 draw where the game could be analysed as game of two halves where Genclerbirligi has controlled game while Besiktas 2nd half performance was more closer to their usual performance.

In overall, the game was played at slow tempo which is been unusual for Besiktas especially with 1st half where it didnt seem to get into the game, possibly mentally being at the Champions League 4th week game against Napoli  which would be played on 1st November. In fact, the turning point of the game has been entrance of Vincent Aboubakar in start of the 2nd half, which has speeded up game for Besiktas. One of the memorable moments was misunderstanding between Besiktas goalkeeper Fabiano and Luis Rhodolfo which allowed for Genclerbirligi to score into the empty goal by Sinan Gurler. Genclerbirligi has surely carried on good performance but Besiktas has shown its usual performance with finding goal by the Talisca in 51st minute. Apart of scoring that goal Besiktas has carried on good performance with trying to find a goal during the game including chances by Aboubakar.

Genclerbirligi has provided a very good game during 1st half with better football and it could have find even more goals but with lacking of quality has affected to this possibility. Still it needs to be stated that Genclerbirligi has provided a good game and this performance could give important points against mediocre teams in upcoming weeks.

Besiktas didnt provide its best game and could even lost the game so it did save one point to some extend even through it did lose good chances towards the end of the game. It did recieve however good motivation and same time recognise some issues prior to important game against Napoli at Champions League on 1st November.

Galatasaray are not expected to have big issues against Adanaspor.

Following a comfortable win against Dersimspor at the Turkish Cup 3rd round game, Galatasaray would return to the Super League with a game against Adanaspor at which it is expected also to get a good result.

Galatasaray despite of loss to the Trabzonspor still experiences a good season and surely would very likely to show its superiority from this season newcomers Adanaspor as it would play against them at the Super League after 12 years. Adanaspor head coach Krunoslav Jurcic has stated himself prior to game that their main aim will be to focus on defence as it is too risky to go forward against such a team. As it is known Galatasaray players Wesley Sneijder and Hakan Balta will not be able to play at the game due of precaution reasons since their had injuries recently. The team would probably provide an attacking football where Lukas Podolski will aim to build-on hat-trick he got at the midweek and also Eren Derdiyok will aim to end his stoppage of finding goals and try to score during the game.

As been mentioned, Galatasaray is coming out as strong favourite against Adanaspor and would surely look for motivation and confidence prior to very crucial game next week against Basaksehirspor.

Sunderland wants to keep Jeremain Lens after he returns from Fenerbahce loan.

It became clear that Sunderland are not expected to sell its player Jeremain Lens in low price following his successful loan experience this season at Istanbul club.

According to Turkish media, Fenerbahce has contacted to Sunderland about purchase of Lens to which Sunderland stated that he is performing better this season and his cost is raised to 11 million pound. Taking this into account, Sunderland states that it would only sell him to the Fenerbahce with this amount cash without any reduction. Even through Turkish media has stated that this is unexpected response from English club, it is actually normal reaction as the team is happy with his performance and have no intention to lose player who is back at his top performance. As it was case with Mario Gomez at Besiktas last season, and taking account loan deals around the world, his high performance at the team does mainly damage to the team rather than advantage.

If Fenerbahce wants to keep him for next season it needs to find ways to find this cash without affecting its FFP agreement or it would have issues when his loan period ends at the Fenerbahce.
