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


Bursaspor has provided right fighting spirit against Besiktas. 

Turkish Super League 20th week game has been started with pretty exciting game between Bursaspor and Besiktas which has finished with 2:2 scoreline as both sides did their best to win an important game for both sides as the league gets closer to the final sprint of this highly competitive season

It needs to be stated that with Bayern Munich game gets closer for Besiktas the team start getting into nervous aspects which has become clear during 1st half as it had trouble to get game into highly controllable manner and even when it was leading with an impressive Adriano goal, its still allowed Bursaspor to get into game which has led their opponents to find 2:1 leadership at the end of 1st half. Besiktas did provide more attacking and brave football during 2nd half which led them to create high number of the chances with Bursaspor player Harun Tekin saving number of the crucial chances and has played an important role for ending this game with a draw. Meanwhile, Alvaro Negredo has managed to find 2 goals during game with scoring an own goal which led scoreline 1:1 and has also find equaliser at the end of the game with Negredo scoring this time into right goal. Besiktas had provided good fighting spirit but it was still not at their best level performance.

Meanwhile, Bursaspor has provided great fighting spirit and has deserved at least draw and would be pretty unfair if it has lost game at the end of the game. With team providing good organised game and as been stated Harun Tekin has played an important role for this draw.

The game has being played with high level performance with Bursaspor playing a very positive game while Besiktas wasnt able to show their best performance which been used by them during last 2 seasons.

Konyaspor and Galatasaray has ended up being most exciting game at Turkish Cup quarter-final 1st leg.

Turkish Cup quarter-final 1st leg game between Konyaspor and Galatasaray has been ended up being as most exciting game in the level of performance at this stage mainly due of the factor that it was played with cup holders and team with great form.

It needs to be stated that Galatasaray did start game in very attacking manner getting non-given penalty position which it has argued for and also hitting into the post however it was their opponents who have found 1st goal from Linnes own goal on 40th minute. Galatasaray players therefore has responded with starting game in very attacking manner for 2nd half and found 2 goals back-to-back but Jahovic goal at last minute has prevented them to win game and stopped 100% winning rate of Fatih Terim. Galatasaray could be argued has got an away advantage with 2:2 scoreline but this thinking will not be good for them as Konyaspor continues to show an impressive at Turkish Cup for past 3 seasons.

Hence, the 2nd leg promised to be most-anticipated game at quarter-final games as both teams would certainly would be coming for a win and aim to control the game.

Fenerbahce would need to win against Genclerbirligi to keep its aims alive. 

Following win against Giresunspor at the Turkish Cup quarter-final 1st leg game with 2:1 scoreline, Fenerbahce would be returning to Super League with an aim to win against struggling Genclerbirligi and keep themselves at the title race at this crucial weeks at the league.

Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman statements criticising referees might unfortunately provide some pressure towards referees during the game but it is important for players at both sides not to focus too much into this and get prepared as usual to the game. Meanwhile, there are rumours that Kocaman made those statements due of high amount of criticism towards team, still not finding some mistakes which he makes. What could be seen as good news for Fenerbahce fans and for football fans meanwhile is that Mathieu Valbuena would be expected to start at starting 11 during game as he plans to play a crucial role at this important game. With taking conditions of two teams Fenerbahce does come out as much more favourite team with taking account it would be playing at home.

Fenerbahce needs to win this game if it wants to keep league title focus and it would be preparing with this in mind without doubt.
