What happened in Turkish football today? 21/10/2017


Trabzonspor carries on providing poor performance even after appointing Riza Calimbay

Trabzonspor carries on its dissapointing performance at the Super League with this time losing to Yeni Malatyaspor with 1:0 scoreline at the game where it was expected to win. Another aspect is that appointment of Riza Calimbay wasnt able to bring winning motivation to the the team.

With change of head coach and also realisation of poor performance and also feeling of needing to show good reaction after losing to Akhisarspor at last week with 6:1 scoreline it was expected that it would be able to turn game. But taking account that Trabzonspor player Okay Yokuslu has scored to own goal in the last minute of 2nd half it could been stated it was pretty unlucky circumstance. Game also shows that Trabzonspor does also have lack of concentration as it has recieved 2 red cards during game from Jose Sosa and Yusuf Yazici. Stating that Trabzonspor has provided number of attacks but there were not good enough as it has allowed team to not turn around game. With Trabzonspor having tough periods with focus and psychology of the players has become obvious in this game and does look like Riza Calimbay has lots of job to bring into right focus for the team.

To some extend with providing especially good defensive game Yeni Malatyaspor has used weakness of Trabzonspor to its advantage and with mistake of Okay Yokuslu has managed to win an important game for itself.

Trabzonspor does have very bad period right now and gets further for its aim for league title both at the standings but even more with its performance which is not improving. Trabzonspor would now focus to Turkish Cup 4th round game against Corum Belediyespor as it aims not to make similar performance in recent years.

Galatasaray with its form does look to be favourite against Fenerbahce.

Biggest derby in Turkey and also one of the biggest derbies in the world would be taking place tomorrow during Super League 9th week game as Galatasaray would be meeting with its arch-rivals Fenerbahce as the game promises to be an exciting between each other.

It needs to be stated however that with refererring to this season performance between both sides, Galatasaray are coming out as strong favourites as it is only team at the season so far while Fenerbahce are 8 points behind them at the standings. Among this there is also factor of playing at home with supporters which compare to previous seasons are believing that Galatasaray by not just winning their historical rivals but also with comfortable scoreline. It needs to be reminded that Galatasaray head coach Igor Tudor so far didnt win any derby games and with this season their 1st derby game it would be aiming to get his 1st. It needs to be stated that Galatasaray does have a strong squad which aims to provide a fast-paced football which would allow them to create lots of chances if Fenerbahce would fail to do good defence, as their concede during each game. The game promises to be with full of exciting moments with Galatasaray aiming to get a win and make point difference to 11 points.

So, as been stated with referring to performances Galatasaray are coming as favourites and their would aim to show that with their football as game progresses.

Fenerbahce has high motivation against Galatasaray. 

However, when things come to the games against those two sides things are not as straight forward as the game is always open to different results and also statistically Fenerbahce has shown dominance over their opponents at the recent past.

With this strong statistical upper hand over Galatasaray during last seasons, Fenerbahce would be coming out with full confidence. Another aspect which would certainly provide extra motivation to Fenerbahce is being 8 points behind as it is aware that it needs to win game to reduce point difference to 5 points. With such a win it would get back into race for title while losing could put them into difficult place for fighting for title. Again, since its only 9th week game it could be not right to state that Fenerbahce would lose everything if it loses but it would give them big damage for league title. Fenerbahce would aim to provide similar performance which their shown against Yeni Malatyaspor as it has started game in very attacking football and for most section of the game has shown top class football with forward seeking showing to everyone it is capable to show attacking football and provide some difficult time to Galatasaray. Certainly despite of 8 point difference Fenerbahce players are motivated to such crucial game.

Therefore, it would be game between two sides which would like to win against their historical rivals and also affect their aims for rest of the seasons as result of the game could affect whole character of the season.
