What happened in Turkish football today? 07.05.2017


Marcelo last minute own goal has brought an excitement to Turkish Super League. 

As Besiktas was ending derby game against Fenerbahce with 1:0 win, it has conceded a goal at the last minute due of simple misunderstanding and mistakes at the back between Fabri and Marcelo and has lost its 4 point advantage over Basaksehirspor. What makes it even more tragic is that Fenerbahce has played with 9 players when equaliser has come.

Besiktas was much more prepared to the Super League 30th week game against Fenerbahce as it was playing with controlling and more positive football. Its been stated for long time both by the media and inside team that if it manages to play its own football it would be able to get a win. One of the mistakes of the Besiktas especially during 2nd half has been too confident that it has won game and didnt do much to get 2nd goal to make scoreline even more confident. Stating that compare to other games in general this season, Besiktas didnt show its best performance which could be seen of lack of the dangerous chances during the game. Despite of general good performance by Besiktas, it did lose 4 points in last week and has lost its advantage for league title. It now has 2 point advantage with 4 weeks but it needs to be careful if it wants to get league title.

Coming to Fenerbahce, it didnt provide recently bad performance but has not been fast enough compare to Besiktas which has mainly affected to their performance even through it manage to be kept Besiktas at defence as it has only conceded one goal. As game looked like Fenerbahce has lost, with big luck and mistakes with Besiktas players it has managed to find goal with help of the Marcelo. Its hard to state that Fenerbahce has deserved draw but even when it was with 9 players it has fought until end and tried to find chance which was converted into goal with luck. Fenerbahce chances for getting league title are low, but with this result it has provided an excitiment of last 4 games at the league and has turned into great excitement to the game. Still, Fenerbahce does show signs it could end season in successfull manner for last 4 games.

The game has been characterised by lucky goal from Fenerbahce, as Besiktas has scored an own goal due of misunderstandings with goalkeeper Fabri. At the end of the day, following result has provided an exciting title race for last of the 4 weeks at the Super League.

Galatasaray has lots of the issues at all aspects of the club.

Following Super League 30th week game against Kasimpasa which has ended with 3:1 scoreline, it became clear that Galatasaray is under big crises inside the team which has been affected with administrative board, technical staff and players, which might not be solved soon.

Following game the most talked aspect has been 1-hour meeting between club CEO Dursun Ozbek with head coach Igor Tudor and players as soon as the game has ended where according to head coach Dursun Ozbek has criticised heavily everyone who was at the changing room. There is also rumours that the future of Igor Tudor has been discussed but official statements deny that this took place. Another aspect has been of substitution of Bruma on 18th minute without any particular reasons. According to this, Igor Tudor following the game has been stated that Bruma has been disrespectful towards him and everyone has their role at the team. The misunderstandings between Igor Tudor and Bruma has been taken place meanwhile since he has joined the team. All of those aspects show that the team is in big mess which also is affecting with how team performs at the league, with taking another blow with 3:1 scoreline from Kasimpasa.

All of those events shows that Galatasaray is currently not being managed in great way and as been stated beforehand it does need a big revision to take place during summer including with how club administered and managed among with transfers.

Trabzonspor needs to get into winning ways if it wants to end season at top 4.

Despite of losing to the Kayserispor with 3:2 scoreline during Super League 30th week game, it needs to be stated that Trabzonspor was fighting for a win but in all fairness Kayserispor wanted it even more.

It needs to be remembered that Kayserispor as the team mathematically didnt make secure its stay at the Super League with being just above of relegation zone and hence this game was very important for them. It has took with all fairness and with the help of Mesut Bakkal with who it has won 2 games back-to-back as he joined the team. Trabzonspor meanwhile does show some loss of form it has for this year as it has lost 4 points as it has drawn last week to Genclerbirligi. Trabzonspor still has good chance to end season at top 4 as it is 4 points behind Galatasaray which as it is known its now at good form and this is manageable by them as long as their get maximum points. However, its not easy task as among its opponents for last 4 games are Basaksehirspor and Fenerbahce who would come out to very crucial game for them

With the incredible performance, motivation and self-belief it has got into chance to finish season at top 4 and at Europa League of 2017 but all this could go to waste if it would drop performance for rest of 4 games. Trabzonspor would still be remembered with great performance of 2017 but it wont get awarded if it wont catch Galatasaray.
