What happened in Turkish football today? 02/12/2017


Besiktas has dominated Galatasaray and has won game in well-deserved manner.

Besiktas has managed to win derby against against Galatasaray during Super League 14th week game with 3:0 scoreline but it needs to be stated that the team could have won with better result especially during 2nd half. The difference between both sides has been become clear even through Galatasaray is above at the table.

It needs to be stated that derby game has been played in an exciting manner with high chances and has dominated game from start to end by Besiktas which has led them to win game with top performance. It was mentioned by many that Besiktas would be able to win this game without any issue would be if their would be playing game like their do at the Champions League. It needs to be stated that it did just that during game and has created high number of the chances during the game especially 2nd half where it could have won game much more comfortably. Besiktas has been played in much better control of game with ball and didnt allow Galatasaray to get into game without all. This performance by Besiktas without doubt has been send message to all opponents that it would be fighting for league title.

In other hand, Galatasaray has been seen without any organisation, good plan and a team which doesnt look to be leaders of the league right now and has struggled at all fields and section at the stadium against Besiktas. It does need to be state that even through Bafetembi Gomis has wanted to create a good chances during the game he didnt recieve good chances and has focussed towards end to create chances himself but he didnt achieve that a lot during game. Unfortunately to Galatasaray it was visible that their didnt get into concentration at the game and has made high number of simple mistakes with their assists and does send serious messages to its supporters that it would have trouble during big teams which without doubt could become risk for them. It needs to be stated that its not certain that their would enter to mid-season as leaders of the league.

Besiktas has created a good chance during game and has won in very deserved manner and had now reduced point difference to 3 points and without having Champions League until February would be able to focus entirely to Super League.

Fenerbahce coming out with good motivation against Kasimpasa 

Following rise of performance as it has 3 games back-to-back at the Super League and Turkish Cup and not conceding goals for 2 games it would be coming out to the Kasimpasa Super League 14th week game with high motivation.

Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman did state for number of the weeks right now that their need to get a good series of the game and without doubt he and team would be aiming to achieve this period of wins until mid-season break including Kasimpasa game. One of the issues at Fenerbahce is to play without an attacker due of injuries and also cards bans however as it is important to state that Alper Potuk performnace at Turkish Cup 5th round 1st leg game against Adana Demirspor hat-trick would mean that their could be able to provide similar performance against Kasimpasa. With Kasimpasa not playing well in recent weeks Fenerbahce would be coming as favourites for the game tonight and also would have better motivation.

Fenerbahce needs to build on game with recent performance and again focus into not conceding goal and aim for higher places at the table.

Deportivo La Coruna are interested to loan Fenerbahce player Ozan Tufan. 

One of the few transfer news which has been surrounding today at the Turkish sports media today is the news that Deportivo La Coruna are interested to loan Ozan Tufan who is not showing great performance during this season.

Fenerbahce player Ozan Tufan has become one of the players who was expected to be players taken from squad following big revision expected at the team during mid-season transfer window. With Deportivo La Coruna showing an interest to loan him could also good news for all sides as he would be able to get some playing time and get possibly to his old performance which he has shown at Bursaspor of course he would be able to join team at La Liga. However, as been mentioned this are only rumours for now and time would see if he would be joining them all not.

This deal as been mentioned would be an advantage both for Fenerbahce and Ozan Tufan as it would be expected for Tufan to be motivated to show high level performance in Deportivo La Coruna if he joins them.
