What happened in Turkish football today? 25.09.2017


Galatasaray provides best football at the league so far.

Galatasaray has managed to win against Bursaspor during Super League 6th week game with providing right tactical game from head coach Igor Tudor with his unexpected substitutes during 2nd half and showing everyone that he does have plan B in his hand.

Even through Galatasaray carrying on this period without losing any league games, only one to achieve that so far at the league, it didnt provide a great 1st half performance where Bursaspor was able to control game in the way it wanted and providing good defensive football during the game. However, with Bursaspor getting tired but even more importantly Igor Tudor changing tactic of the game with number of substitutes, Galatasaray started playing more attacking football and more importantly Sofiane Feghouli has found his 1st goal with his new team with his 1st shot of the goal during the game. Galatasaray 2nd goal scorer Tolga Cigerci has also carries on great start of the season arleady scoring more goals than he did before this season in his career. It does look like Galatasaray is team to beat during this season and for now does look like candidate number 1 for league title but again it didnt yet play with any of the league title contenders and didnt have strong test yet as team.

Regardless of that Galatasaray does show great football at the field and would come out as favourite when it would meet with those opponents in upcoming weeks.

Besiktas have advantage over Leipzig at Champions League game.

Besiktas would be coming back for its journey at the Champions League against Leipzig during 2nd week and would certainly aim to make 2 out of 2 at the tournament so far as it would be playing among most unpredictable team at the group.

Besiktas has been affected negatively certainly from Super League 6th week game against
Fenerbahce but the mood of the players does give signs that their had been recovered from that loss and now would look forward to make 2nd win at the group and make Porto win in previous week more meaningful. Besiktas would certainly also get strong help from its fans at its own stadium and would come out with pressing football showing no signs of being scared from their German opponents. Stating that as been mentioned Leipzig as could be seen as easiest opponents at the group are actually not as weak as their come from German league and has met with more tougher opponents compare to Besiktas but this inexperience at Europe and also from supporters could provide big psychological pressure to German side.

Its hard to state that Besiktas as strong favourite but factors such as fans and experience does put them into good advantage for game.

Erkan Sozeri resigns as Karabukspor head coach. 

Resignation and termination of head coaches carries on at the Super League early stages of this season, as Karabukspor head coach Erkan Sozeri has announced his resignation after losing to Yeni Malatyaspor with 4:2 scoreline yesterday.

Erkan Sozeri has stated that his stay does lots of damages to the team as it is not providing good performance and the team players are actually better players and are capable to provide better football. It does need to state that leaving team prior to Galatasaray game, one of the toughest game for any team this season does put team to come out without head coach on 30th September unless it is close to make transfer deal which we are not aware of. Stating that with recent resignation among coaches, with all being Turkish, there is chance to get among this to push team even further and better results. Karabukspor does have potential as team to improve with its result and with new coach it can go forward.

Meanwhile, Erkan Sozeri has joined to list of resignations and termination of contracts as it does look like there would be further coming out in upcoming weeks unfortunately.
