What happened in Turkish football today? 18.09.2017


Besiktas has won Konyaspor without much issues.

Besiktas carries on its winning performance both at the Champions League and Super League as it has managed to win Konyaspor during 5th week with 2:0 scoreline and hence has gained its revenge for Super Cup which it lost to them last month.

Besiktas has started game with an attacking football style as it started going forward and hence found hence an early goal from Cenk Tosun during 10th minute and as game carried on has got whole control of the game without giving any hope to Konyaspor. In addition to fact that Besiktas has improved as team from Super Cup final it needs to be stated that Konyaspor is not performing as same as it did during Super Cup game which led to such a comfortable game. In addition, Besiktas winning against Porto during Champions League has played an important role for today's performance as it carried on its motivational help during the game. Well deserved game by Besiktas since it managed to do all of the aims which it has set in today's game.

Konyaspor which has been praised a lot following Super Cup game from this blog and media wasnt able to fulfill and carry on this performance during 1st 5 weeks and has carried on this poor performance in today's game. Konyaspor does need to improve to have any aims both at league and Europa League.

Besiktas carries on its top performance so far during this season and has equaled once again with top of the league Galatasaray with 13 points. It would now look forward for derby game against Fenerbahce on Saturday.

Trabzonspor did show positive aspects at the game.

Turkish Super League 5th week game between Basaksehirspor and Trabzonspor has been played between two clubs which wanted to win and even through it would been argued that Trabzonspor did show great performance, it didnt use its opportunity to win team which has been tired from game 3 days ago, as it has drawn with Ludogorets at Europa League.

Stating that, even through this blog keep referring Trabzonspor among candidates of league title it still needs to develop a lot as the team and the main thing for this season could be develop its team and make team to be able compete for top spots in this season and crucially in future seasons. With taking account that team is developing and does play against another candidates of league title  Basaksehirspor 2:2 scoreline would be seen as good result with taking account that team was leading twice. In other side of coin, it didnt manage to keep this leadership. Still the team players did show positive performance and there is lots of positive things which needs to be taken against this game for head coach Ersun Yanal among lessons which could be learned from this game performance. Still the youth players are showing good performance and does show that team's focus into their development is worth it.

Trabzonspor is still developing as a team and would get stronger as season progresses but as usual it would need to get better and would show if its in good position with next week against Alanyaspor and after Besiktas.

Fenerbahce has got motivational boost with help of Alanyaspor.

Fenerbahce has been closest to its perfect performance during Super League 5th week game as it has won game with 4:1 scoreline which could be seen as unexpected result due of poor performance of the team.

One of the main advantages of the game is that Fenerbahce has found its first goal from an attacker, as 1st goal of the game has come from Vincent Janssen and has arleady shown that he would be very helpful for team during this season. Even through it could been argued that Alanyaspor style of play has allowed Fenerbahce to play that kind of football and should not be misleading with overall team performance this result would certainly provide motivation boost for the team and help them to show good football against Besiktas. Still it doesnt mean it would come as favourite against them though. Mathieu Valbuena has once again shown as most at form player at the team with finding two goals and being most active player at the field. He is now most important player for a team if it would get positive results.

Fenerbahce has found scoreline which it desperately needed, especially before Besiktas game, with the help of Alanyaspor and would now would look forward for 23rd September.
