What happened in Turkish football today? 18/11/2017
Basaksehirspor has won very comfortably against league leaders.
Basaksehirspor has provided a very comfortable and important win against Galatasaray with 5:1 scoreline and has got same points with leaders of the league and has put itself back as one of the strongest candidates for league title once again.
It needs to be stated that prior to game it was expected by many that game would be played in different manner especially from side of Galatasaray. It did look during the game that Galatasaray had a difficulty to get into the game as it had trouble to create effective football and didnt manage to control game which by naturally has provided advantage to their opponents. Therefore, with the fact that Galatasaray not being able to get into the mood of the game and losing its attacking football with fast-paced game which led them into leadership didnt get into that performance today. It needs to be stated that Basaksehirspor didnt also come out with strong players such as Emre Belozoglu, Caicara which hence led for Galatasaray to have simpler game but it didnt manage to use those possibility.
Galatasaray head coach Igor Tudor didnt manage to get upper hand of the game. What is most important it didnt manage to stop Emmanuel Adebayor who has shown top level performance today.
Basaksehirspor meanwhile has shown great organised game today against Galatasaray and with help of the Adebayor has managed to win game with 5:1 scoreline and has provided game with right tempo against Istanbul giants.
Galatasaray has lost game with 5:1 scoreline to the opponents who does turn out to the team which are direct opponents to them does show that team does have serious issues against playing strong teams.
Besiktas didnt manage to pass strong Akhisarspor defenders.
Even through Besiktas did show high level performance with high number of performances against Akhisarspor it didnt manage to find goal during Super League 12th week game as it wasnt to find very needed last touch goal but also Akhisarspor has prevented Besiktas to find winning goal.
One of the turning points of the game has also been a penalty kick by Ricardo Quaresma and also Negredo not being able to convert follow-up as he hit the post as the game developed. This position has provided self-belief to the Akhisarspor players especially to defenders which has provided pressure to the Besiktas players. This pressure certainly has also led psychological pressure as players became more eager to find winning goal and once again their did everything to find this moment where it would be finding that key goal. Besiktas even through without doubt has also lost very good chances to get into closer to become leaders of the league at such important week where
Basaksehirspor and Galatasaray are going to meet at the same week. Once again, Besiktas fans doesnt need to get worried too much for Porto game against Champions League where it needs 1 point, as it would come out with different psychology.
Besiktas would now need to forget about losing 2 points at this week game and focus to the win against or at least one point against Porto and get to the knockout stage with one game at the hand.
Fenerbahce needs to convert its good motivation created in national team break to the result against Sivasspor.
Fenerbahce are going to meet against Sivasspor during Super League 12th week game which would be their 1st game after the crises following Osmanlispor crises it had at the team with many talks that Aykut Kocaman is going to resign.
Following that crises, Fenerbahce has aimed to regain its motivation and self-belief during national team break and their are some signs that it has managed to do that but its important to make it even stronger with good play against Sivasspor and therefore its important for them to play a very good game against their opponents and get into winning mood once again and regain self-belief. It wont be easy as it does have two key players who are Isla and Mathieu Valbuena but it does have good strength with current squad against Sivasspor. However, as it been stated so far during this season biggest opponent for Fenerbahce would be themselves as their mistakes especially at defence has led them to lose so much important points during this season. However, if Fenerbahce would play with right set of mind it would come out as strong favourite.
Fenerbahce does need to win this game in urgent manner to get back into title race or it would get much further from its opportunities to win league title during this season.
