What happened in Turkish football today? 11.03.2017


Galatasaray has managed to win two games back to back even through it wasnt easy at all.

Super League 24th week game between Galatasaray and Genclerbirligi  has ended up being an exciting game with 5 goals with both sides giving their best and even through tempo has been fallen in some occassions, both sides gave their fighting spirit to get 3 points as game ended with 3:2 win for Galatasaray.

Galatasaray has got another win during pretty tough game and had some trouble especially taking account that team has been consisted of high number of injured players due of last week game against Antalyaspor and also during this week training sessions. Despite of having very hard game it needs to be stated that even through conceding goal straight away at the game it has been able to respond straight away with Selcuk Inan penalty at 5th minute. As the game has developed Galatasaray has managed to control game which meanwhile has contained 3 penalties with two of them being converted by both sides. In fact, Genclerbirligi penalties has been called back to back with Serdar Gurler not able to convert penalty kick, 2nd penalty which as 1st one has been called for handball this time was converted by Selcuk Sahin. Galatasaray has shown some good fighting spirit which it has been showing with Igor Tudor even through it still is not able to play its best football yet. Selcuk Inan with two goals has been undoubetly been seen as player of the game.

Genclerbirligi meanwhile has managed to provide good reaction after it has conceding goal and has shown also fighting spirit which was visible also by the goal during 34th second of the game. This mood and performance with Genclerbirligi would certainly lead them to get good results in upcoming 10 games.

Galatasaray has managed to win 2 games back to back, and is now focussed for runners-up spot at the table while waiting for Basaksehirspor to lose points which are currently 4 points behind them with one game more.

Fenerbahce has recieved huge motivation with coming back from 2:0 scoreline.

Despite of starting game very poorly against Alanyaspor during Super League 24th week game, Fenerbahce has managed to show great comeback from 2:0 scoreline during last 60 minutes of the game.

Fenerbahce has started game very poorly against Alanyaspor conceding two goals and with Alanyaspor getting even more positions during 1st 25 minutes of the games which provided thought that team might recieve devastiting score. However, with the leadership of the Jeremain Lens and Mehmet Topal and to some extend with help of the Kenneth Omereu own goal has provided huge motivation to the Istanbul side. With Fenerbahce being difficulty usually to win games while getting behind during this season, it has able to turn 2:0 scoreline and has provided to some extend a memorable comeback, even through its not as memorable as it was with Barcelona. Even through it is still report that crises at the team is not fully solved and still has some things to solve, the performance of last 3 games, including Turkish Cup game against Kayserispor, has provided huge motivation and confidence for the upcoming games at the league.

As been mentioned, turning 2:0 deficit into 3:2 win with taking account that it was playing poor performance at the beginning of the game has certainly provide huge motivation and confidence boost for upcoming games and provided big hope for the fight for 2nd place at the league.

Besiktas game against Kayserispor will not be as easy as it looks. 

As been stated several times at this blog, the leagues most form team in the country right now Besiktas would come back to its fight for league title with Super League 24th week game against Kayserispor.

It needs to be stated that Besiktas looks to be favourite at the game tomorrow in the paper, it wont be that simple as Kayserispor with leadership of the Sergen Yalcin right now has provided a great performance with its fight to stay at the league as most times are showing improved and good performance at the bottom of the table. It needs to be stated that following Olympiakos game, Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes has stated that the game would be very difficult against Kayserispor. Of course for Besiktas to play such a tough game between Europa League 2 legs game against Olympiakos would be tough both physically and mentally, and even through most players would state it will not affect them its not true. But as long as club wins this could be turned into advantage.

Taking account that Besiktas didnt secure quarter-final ticket at the Europa League and to stay at right motivation and confidence for game against Olympiakos on 16th March, it needs to win the game against Kayserispor.
