What happened in Turkish football today? 26/11/2017


Fenerbahce has managed to win Antalyaspor despite of showing poor game. 

Fenerbahce has managed to win Super League 13th week game against Antalyaspor with minimal scoreline even through their didnt manage to show very impressive game where their opponents has also provided poor game.

In fact, in overall game has been played in slow tempo with high number of mistakes during passes and as Antalyaspor has shown more mistakes compare to Fenerbahce, it has managed to win game with single goal. It could been stated that its positive note for Fenerbahce not to concede during today's game and hence is likely to affect positively but as been stated Antalyaspor didnt go forward much but still Volkan Demirel did save number of shots. Still it was important for Fenerbahce to carry on winning games as it has won back-to-back and didnt lose for 6 weeks which does show that it can achieve its aim of 100% until midseason break which it can achieve. However, as been mentioned Fenerbahce did show some poor game and has getting too much defensive game during the game and if Antalyaspor has provided much better attacking football it could have conceded goal. Fenerbahce didnt dominate game but did control more compare to opponents which also played role of getting 3 points.

Antalyaspor even through does have poor performance at the overall during this season it was still expected to provide much better performance to Antalyaspor and does show some worrying signs both with way its playing and results.

Fenerbahce got an important win and has risen to 3rd place overpassing with average passing Basaksehirspor and are 6 points behind of Galatasaray which is important issue prior to next week derby game against club's main opponents.

Trabzonspor does show improvement with Riza Calimbay

Trabzonspor carries on its recent in-form performance at the Super League as it has won Sivasspor with 2:1 scoreline during 13th week game and even through it didnt show wholly dominated game it does carries on at getting points so far at the league.

Trabzonspor does show improvement with its new head coach Riza Calimbay which has brought without doubt motivation to the team and their players are playing with more focus and self-belief during their games even through it could been argued it could improve their performance. Despite of winning Sivasspor with 2:1 scoreline in deserved matter, it still had some areas to improve at which includes playing more controllable game. One of the highest notes of the game has been goal from Burak Yilmaz who carries on being main player at offensive side as he has found 10 goals at 10 games he has played at the league. It is also important however to solve its issues at the defence as it does concede goals in each game with so many coming from defensive mistakes but the team is going forward and does itself keep to some extend at hopes of getting league title with getting closer to Galatasaray with 10 points but their do need to get wins back-to-back.

Sivasspor which prior to Fenerbahce game has shown a good record at recent games didnt manage to get positive results against big teams during this season but it does have different aims for this season and hence it should stay focussed on that.

Trabzonspor does go on playing an improving football but its not enough and hence it needs to aim to finish 1st half of season at high note and aim for improvements in mid-season break.

Its hard for Besiktas to show top performance at Champions League and Super League in same time. 

Besiktas carries on showing two different performances both at the Champions League and Super League as it has ended 13th week game against Yeni Malatyaspor with goalless draw in similar manner as it did last week against Akhisarspor.

Without doubt its hardly for players to carry on performing high level performance both at the Super League and Champions League and hence comes importance of rotating team which has been failed by Senol Gunes so far during this season. This recent performance at the domestic tournament will not be enough against Galatasaray. But taking account that Besiktas is expected to come out to the Turkish Cup 5th round 1st leg game against Manisaspor on 28th November with 2nd squad, the players would have 1 week to get prepared to this important derby for them which could describe their aims for upcoming season. Therefore, we are expected to see a very strong and improved Besiktas at the derby game as long as their get motivated to the game in right way.

Its hard as been stated before at our blog to get angry to poor performance of Besiktas in domestic league as their had shown good performance at the Champions League but with knowing that it wont have game in that tournament until February will allow them to improve their position.
