What happened in Turkish football today? 23.08.2017


Basaksehirspor has shown a great performance against Sevilla despite of being out of competition.

It needs to be stated that Basaksehirspor has provided Champions League level performance against Sevilla during both games ties and needs to be praised for this performance. With the way team has fought to get a win especially after losing especially with score of 2:1 does deserve lots of warm reaction which was also provided by Sevilla supporters at the end of the game.

Things it needs to be stated is even more dissapointing when taking account that post which has come from Emre Belozoglu free-kick shot which for sure if it went to the goal will not been saved from Sevilla goalkeeper. In fact, this post has also prevented for 1st time for the Turkish teams to be attended with two teams at the group stage in the tournament. Meanwhile, Edin Visca goal at the time when chances for Basaksehirspor has been seen pretty low also has played an important role where Basaksehirspor has shown that it is capable to find chances until last minute of the game. The only negative point which could be seen is for poor performance by the team at the start of 2nd half as the team has responded in better way it might not even had conceded that 2nd goal.

Still, Basaksehirspor has shown a great performance at the game and would be a team to look for certain at the Europa League group stage and not much teams would like to face them at the competition.

Fenerbahce have good chances to turn around Vardar tie but it will be very hard.

Fenerbahce would have a very difficult task at the Europa League play-off round 2nd leg game against Macedonian team Vardar after losing 1st leg with 2:0 scoreline with problems which it created to themselves for sure.

There are ofcourse some positive aspects to look for at game tomorrow such as it playing at home with support of the fans and also it having a very big supporters group. Another factor that in average it does manage to score 2 goals at games even through it considers same amount of goals. In performance wise, unfortunately, Fenerbahce doesnt provide much hope for the game tomorrow. The role of attackers at the game tomorrow does play an important role tomorrow as it is certain that Vardar would mainly focus into defensive play at the game tomorrow, the factor which could become key at the game tomorrow.Also Fenerbahce does need to concede but this only be achieved if Fenerbahce defenders would be on guard during 90th minutes.

Fenerbahce can get to the next stage of the tournament if it stays focus and provides high performance there is still hope especially after Trabzonspor game where it did show good football towards end.
Feghouli expected to start playing games for Galatasaray after national team break. 

It became clear that Galatasaray newly-signed player Sofiane Feghouli would be recovered from his injury in very short time and would be able to play with the team after national team break as he is expected to make this strong team with new transfers even more stronger.

It is known that Galatasaray head coach Igor Tudor plans to use Feghouli as key player at the team for this season and hence has focussed fully into his recovery as he has joined with injury from West Ham United. It became clear meanwhile that Galatasaray didnt allow Feghouli to join Egyptian National Team for World Cup Qualifier for the risk of getting injured again and with Feghouli responding to that in possible manner it is likely he would be focussed into recovery.  There is as been stated very high expectation for Feghouli in this upcoming season and it is expected after short time of getting used to the league he would become key player.

There is always risk that player might not provide high level football but it needs to be aware that Feghouli is in the level to provide top performance at such league as Super League.
