What happened in Turkish football today? 04/02/2017


Galatasaray has shown unusual lack of organisation with Fatih Terim against Sivasspor. 

In the week where top 3 teams has drawn their games, Galatasaray ended up being having big loss as it has lost to Sivasspor during Super League 20th week and at the week where most teams didnt get use their advantage, club has actually lost most amount of points.

Among not only losing against Sivasspor who does show pretty good performance against top teams during this season, but also as Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim stated the club has also shown poor performance. Until Galatasaray player Eren Derdiyok didnt find goal, Galatasaray even through has shown some good control of ball couldnt not get upper control of the Sivasspor which without doubt has shown very good and organised game both in the attack and defence. It needs to be stated that newly signed Yuto Nagatomo who has joined to this team this week had also serious issues to get into game with not being used both to team and to the Super League and he needs some time to get for adaptation. Even through Galatasaray had some organisation it didnt get as much chances as would been expected from them and didnt dominate at the attack.

As been stated Sivasspor has shown great performance in organised and brave football against Galatasaray and has got well deserved win with such performance showing that it can get many points especially top teams at its home ground.

Galatasaray has lost its opportunity to get leadership at the standings with Basaksehirspor drawing an earlier and apart of making point difference from its lower teams Fenerbahce and Besiktas actually allowed them to get closer with 1 point and would now seek ways how to improve their performance.

Fenerbahce has shown great game but due of two simple mistakes at defence have lost 2 crucial points.

Even through Fenerbahce has shown one of their best performance during this season especially during 1st half of the game, as the team it still didnt manage to solve its defensive issues which led them lose a crucial 2 points against Genclerbirligi.

Even through their opponents are still at the bottom section of the standings it did show an impressive performance in the last weeks however it wasnt at their best form against Fenerbahce as Istanbul giant has attacked in very good manner creating high number of the chances and even when it was losing with 1:0 scoreline from Nabil Dirar own goal it was giving image that it would be able to turn game around. In fact, their managed to do that in the start of the 2nd half however a big mistake has led Genclerbirligi to equalise once again during 60th minute. Fenerbahce after that start showing more attacking game but since it was led for rushing performance the game ended with draw. Meanwhile, Metin Kalkavan who was referee performance has been shown in pretty poor manner which led for Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman comments about referees to be meaningul.

Fenerbahce meanwhile have also started battle against TFF as their belief their are still FETO members inside federation which play direct role for those results and performance by referees.

Trabzonspor would be coming with high confidence against Goztepe. 

Turkish Super League 20th week would be concluded with Trabzonspor and Goztepe game where both sides would be aiming to get points from each other to get Europa League spot as even through mathematically those both sides can fight for league title it is slowly turns into fight for getting European spot.

Trabzonspor are showing pretty good performance right now and does have some more confidence compare to Goztepe which are not showing same performance and also losing Adis Jahovic during mid-season transfer window could have pretty negative effect for a team in the upcoming weeks. Hence, Trabzonspor with having good performance in recent weeks and also still aiming to end league at best place as possible would be coming out to the game with strong confidence and aim to get positive result at the game. Still, Goztepe having also character which it got during this season would be aiming to provide dissapointment to its opponent so still it would be close game to them.

Trabzonspor are coming out as favourites but it wont be an easy task as Goztepe does have high aims for this season also and aim to stay focussed towards them.
