What happened in Turkish football today? 05/11/2017


Besiktas has won with an effective football against Goztepe.

Besiktas has got an important win against what was expected to be pretty tough game for them with 3:1 scoreline during Super League 11th week game and carries on its race for the top spot with such a win. Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes also didnt allow his previous assistant, Tamer Tuna to bring surprising result against them.

It needs to be stated however that Goztepe was close to bring this results especially during 1st minute of the game as it has created high number of dangerous chances however Besiktas player Anderson Talisca goal during 7th minute did affect to that motivation for opponent. It needs to be stated that Besiktas, likely to be tired from Monaco at Champions League, has played more into effective football with finding goals and aiming for a win which it needed for title race this season. Still, Besiktas compare to previous games followed by Champions League did show effective football and wanting to win. It needs to be stated once again that Talisca goal was probably most important as Goztepe was very close to find an early goal and has played at finding goals after that even through it did lose that tempo which it had in start. Besiktas didnt play with highest tempo but has provided very effective football which certainly would keep everyone at the team motivated.
Goztepe did provide good performance against Besiktas looking for good position but it needs to be stated that Adis Jahovic not being able to play due of cards ban has affected as it has missed that important last touch in their game today.

Besiktas has got an important win at probably most interesting and anticipated of this week and would keep its aim for 3rd title still possible as loss would push them backwards and team would go to national team break with going well both in domestic league and in Europe.

Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman gives signs of resignations.

Fenerbahce carries on providing poor performance during its games in the last 2 weeks despite of getting an advantage of scoreline and has lost 4 points in last 2 games with last minute goals.

It became clear that Fenerbahce players even does show some good will during their games have trouble at carrying on providing high level game. One of the people who gets blame on this situation quite naturally would be head coach of the team, this time Aykut Kocaman. Following 1:1 draw against Osmanlispor during Super League 11th week, and with conceding goal at last minute of the game, Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman has accepted that he is main person to be blamed for this kind of results and has promised that he will do needed actions which has been read as an announcement of resignation. Until now it is known that he didnt provide resignation but it would be accepted in upcoming days. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce administration did state several times that their would support Kocaman in whatever circumstances so it would be interesting to see what would be reaction of Fenerbahce administration and especially CEO Aziz Yildirim if request would be made by Kocaman.

Fenerbahce performance is below level which was expecting from them and it does need changes not only with Aykut Kocaman but with whole system.

Trabzonspor needs to show same concentration to other games as their did against Galatasaray. 

Trabzonspor it needs to be considered has been lucky to end game with 0:0 scoreline against Kayserispor during Super League 11th week game as it manage to provide high level performance against their opponents.

Trabzonspor did show pretty poor performance during game without having shots on target while Kayserispor did dominate game and was one who created chances and were unlucky to turn game around. After win against Galatasaray it was expected for Trabzonspor to carry on high level performance against Kayserispor but their didnt show same concentration and have been poor. Therefore, Trabzonspor did show once again against Kayserispor that it does have number of weaknesses still available which needed to be sort out during national team break if it wants to get back at the standings during this season or it would have another poor season. This would be also good chance for Riza Calimbay to work with his team tactically as he would have longest period between games since he was appointed as club's head coach.

Trabzonspor needs to get more concentrated for upcoming games as the team is capable to show top performance as it showed against Galatasaray.
