What happened in Turkish football today? 23/12/2017


Fenerbahce didnt manage to win game despite of providing an attacking football for most part of the 2nd half. 

Fenerbahce has ended its unbeating run at the Super League of 5 games as it has drawn with Konyaspor with 1:1 scoreline even through it has failed to get positive result with providing fighting spirit towards end of the game as both sides has come out to the game aiming to win game.

In fact, Fenerbahce player Fernandao has been close to bring winning goals with finding 3 100% chances but unfortunately to the side has missed opportunities. It needs to be Konyaspor which are at bottom side of the table did come out to win game and this factor has led them to have some opportunities to them. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce has had trouble to create good chances to find goals during 1st half as it played without central attacker and hence has been pretty weak but Fenerbahce has shown with much better performance during 2nd half has changed its tactic focussing more into attackers during the game. Fenerbahce did provide good performance during 2nd half but with conceding goal during 58th minute against Sahiner has affected to the scoreline of the game. Still this game would let change tactics against Konyaspor and would set some idea for 2nd half of the season.

Konyaspor did provide good performance during today's game and has been effective to stop Fenerbahce creating dangerous chances during game and has got an important draw for themselves at the end of the game.

Fenerbahce didnt manage to get win which it needed for title race but its game during 2nd half despite of conceding goal did provide some promises tactically.

Besiktas has lost an important game against Sivasspor.

Besiktas which was coming from good motivation from previous game didnt manage to get an upper hand during Super League 17th week game with losing to Sivasspor with 2:1 scoreline and has lost an important game prior to mid-season transfer window.

It does need to be stated that Sivasspor even through did control ball for most of the game it wasnt able to get an upper hand during game and this tempo did go into hand of Sivasspor who has shown great preparation prior to this game. That domination which was shown by Besiktas during last game against Osmanlispor prior to the fact that it would be led for playing at home and didnt certainly get its need support as Sivasspor has also shown good performance today during game. Besiktas attackers couldnt get also highly focussed to the game and wasnt able to get its high speed tempo during the game and Besiktas in recent period carries on its poor away games. Meanwhile, without having Champions League league game this week it can send an excuse for such performance and it is visible that the issue of Besiktas losing points at away game could be due of playing away rather than Champions League factor.

Sivasspor has shown good performance today and has played good team performance and its visible that their had studied Besiktas a lot prior to game. Sivasspor could show great results if it performs like that during 2nd half.

Besiktas did lose an important game against Sivasspor and following Turkish Cup at midweek would be going to mid-season break trying to fill its absences for league and Champions League at transfer window.

Fatih Terim would provide extra motivation to Galatasaray in game against Goztepe. 

Galatasaray newly-appointed head coach Fatih Terim would start his 4th reign at his beloved club with an important against Goztepe as Galatasaray would be aiming to possibly regaining its leadership at the Super League.

Fans and media has been awaiting of appointment of Fatih Terim since he has been sacked from Turkish National Team and now many would be awaiting for new beginning of the team which to some extend has arleady show great performance at the Super League. Without doubt with news that Terim would be returning to a team as soon as Goztepe game starts and with strong support of supporters at home ground and also additional motivation towards players it is expected for Galatasaray to at least provide fast paced game. Goztepe without doubt would have a difficult time at the game tomorrow but as known it also has raised its aims as it currently at the title race pot and would be aiming to provide great performance and at worst get draw from such crucial game for them. With Fatih Terim joining team their are favourites to win game but it wont be as simple as that for sure.

Without everyone in Galatasaray would like to see club to win with Fatih Terim coming back to a team and players would do everything and here is key will be how Goztepe would be reacting to a team which is hungry to win during 90th minutes.
