What happened in Turkish football today? 27.08.2017


Fenerbahce has won but it didnt provide great performance tonight. 

Fenerbahce has managed to win Super League 3rd week game against Genclerbirligi with 2:1 scoreline and hence has got 1st victory during this season as it has started season pretty poorly.

Stating that it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce still wasnt at their best during today's game.
It needs to be reminded that it has played against Genclerbirligi during today's game which also started season pretty poorly during 1st two weeks as it only got 1 point and also factors that there was own goal in 1st half and also 2 red cards has made tasks easier for Fenerbahce. Therefore, even through Fenerbahce didnt provide great performance today and does show worrying images still with its performance it needs to be stated that this result could become turning point for a team as following very poor start it would gain motivation for the team in upcoming games. It was especially important for Ozan Tufan to find goal during today's game which brought team to win game taking account that he has been heavily criticised during last few weeks. Fenerbahce meanwhile did still show some poor performance at defence which needs to improve at national team break for sure.

Genclerbirligi in their side of story didnt have a great game today and had struggled at finding right pace as their had similar issues during last few weeks. Also with some decisions from coach, which didnt have good night, has certainly provide difficult time to Genclerbirligi and does provide warning signs early in season.

Fenerbahce still is far away from its top football and 2:1 win doesnt see as good result as their opponents has ended game with 9 men but sometimes at having bad days its just important to get a win. This win could provide motivation which it needed as team certainly needs national team break to work on some issues at team.

Besiktas has lost tempo which we used to see from them.

Besiktas has managed to win Bursaspor with 2:1 scoreline during Super League 3rd week game with help of its supporters with win as scoreline suggests was not easy at all for them. It was observed that even through defensive wise Besiktas doesnt have much issues it does look to be weaker compare to last 2 seasons.

Besiktas one of the main charecteristics during league title season in last 2 seasons has been of playing with high tempo and controlling ball, the factor which made them almost unstoppable by their opponents however so far at this season it seems to lose this characteristics. Even through its true that Bursaspor with the help of Paul Le Guen did provide good tactical football and has provided some trouble times towards Istanbul side, it doesnt take away factor that Besiktas is not providing their best football. The only defence which would be given to them for it being early at the season and players does show improvement as league develops right now. On other hand, it needs to be stated that Besiktas did provide a good defence and conceded goal was loss of concentration as it was in fact only effective attack given by Bursaspor.

National team break would certainly allow the team especially new transfers to get more adapted to the team and possibly lead for head coach Senol Gunes to use them more effectively in upcoming games.

Trabzonspor once again showed decline at performance.

With the loss to the Goztepe during Super League 3rd week game with scoreline of 3:2 scoreline,
Trabzonspor start showing worrying signs which it was shown in the previous seasons and does show that team does have trouble at fighting for league title.

Interestingly during last few seasons, Trabzonspor did start a season in great form winning 1st week games and some good games with this blog in both seasons stating of good start of the team.
However, as the weeks progressed the Trabzonspor has shown decline of performance and eventually start performing badly. Even through there was willingness to win the game, it still has lost to Goztepe which as been stated at yesterday blog did in fact show more willingness to win game. Trabzonspor did show that it does have main issue at the midfielding area especially at defensive aspects as it has allowed for Goztepe to create lots of the attacks from that zone. Goztepe which has got an important 4 points from Fenerbahce and now Trabzonspor could with their wins also provide loss of motivation for both teams as league would carry on.

Trabzonspor are among teams which need national team break as it would allow them to identify issues which doesnt allow them to provide top level football and time to solve them.
