What happened in Turkish football today? 16/02/2018


Besiktas focus wasnt into Konyaspor as their were thinking about Bayern game.

Besiktas carries on losing points prior to Champions League games as this time it has ended Super League 22nd week game against Besiktas as this loss of 2 points could affect directly to their hopes of staying at title race area.

Besiktas couldnt get to their highest tempo and control of the game as it has come out with strong rotation prior to Bayern Munich game which has led team to create low number of  chances among with mentally being at the Champions League game. As was stated, several times Besiktas is competing at three different fronts which are all needs to be given maximum performance. However, with players being mainly focussed into Champions League it has affected mental focus for Konyaspor game. Still, Atiba Hutchinson goal on 28th minute has provided some good signs for this but starting from towards end of 1st half Besiktas has reduced its tempo and hence slowly provided confidence to Konyaspor as game progressed. Konyaspor did provide good performance today without doubt, but it is important to note that Besiktas has been one to lose points with their lack of focus.

Konyaspor with being aware that Besiktas in performance and mentally wasnt entirely to this game has provided much more attacking game as game progressed which led to Jahovic goal and also finding some other chances to win game. Konyaspor did get some motivation for this game and could improve in upcoming games.

Besiktas would now aim to forget about losing 2 points against Konyaspor and would focus to provide big surprise against Bayern Munich as noone would except them to get at least draw in Munich on 20th February.

Fenerbahce would need to win against Alanyaspor if it wants league title.

Before having two important games against Besiktas during Super League and Turkish Cup semi-final, Fenerbahce would come out to very crucial game against Alanyaspor as it manages to win game it has low chance to get leadership at the end of the week even through it does look to be unlucky.

It is well-known that Fenerbahce has gained huge motivational boost after it has won Basaksehirspor with 2:0 scoreline and are now 3 points behind Galatasaray and 2 points behind Basaksehirspor. Therefore, it would be coming out to the game which is big favourite and would be aiming to carry on this high-level performance against Alanyaspor prior to very important derby game against Besiktas who would be playing following Champions League game against Bayern Munich. What is important for Fenerbahce during game is to be aware that Alanyaspor is still tough team and provide full focus to their opponents showing respect and carry on organised game against them and aim to dominate game with being careful at defence.

Fenerbahce does come out to the game as favourites and their would be aiming to use this factor at game tomorrow which is very important for them if their want to get league title. 

Dursun Ozbek plans to run for Galatasaray CEO election in May. 

Galatasaray ex-CEO Dursun Ozbek is reported to be planning to announce his CEO candidacy for club position for CEO election which would be taken place in May, despite of losing an election last month.

This could be seen as highly self-confidence and risky move by Dursun Ozbek if its true as he has been unpopular during end of his last reign as he became first CEO to lose an election while being at the position and he also recieves high number of the criticism from current administration led by Mustafa Cengiz. It is believed that Dursun Ozbek is considering to end some things which he didnt manage while being CEO and quite understandably would go to election with total different administration team. But for most importantly Dursun Ozbek should go into revision for his own  actions which he has done while being CEO last year as he is one to blame to lose his election. This is brave move but unlikely that he would be selected again.

Once again, this decision could be seen as brave and show how devoted his to club but coming to the club when he is been criticised and current CEO administration so far during good job could be seen as too early.
