What happened in Turkish football today? 09/04/2018



Galatasaray has lost an important advantage with conceding last minute goal against Genclerbirligi.

Genclerbirligi player Alper Uludag goal during 90+2' minute has provided win against Galatasaray which has led for direct and entire change of the table with 6 weeks to be played both at the top and bottom of the league.

With title race going at very intense manner between 3 teams with Fenerbahce also coming behind with also good chances, Galatasaray was coming to the game with strongest chance but right now it has lost this game and are currently would come out to the game which it must win against Basaksehirspor as possible loss at home ground could reduce their chances. Galatasaray did provide also poor game during Genclerbirligi and even through has controlled game and had high possession but didnt find many chances to find winning goal while Genclerbirligi has provided good defence and also showing good attacking game. Galatasaray hence continued its poor performance at the away game as it wasnt able to get control of the game from start to an end. It became clear once again that team needs to solve those issues as it still has 3 away games left during this season.

Genclerbirligi meanwhile has shown great organised game during today's game and has provided in manner of team which would be fighting for staying at the league showing high concentration and also using its chances as it could find goal earlier. Genclerbirligi has gained points this season at home against top teams and would aim to carry on this performance to secure their stay at league.

Galatasaray has lost an important advantage for title as season goes intense manner and now would need to only win against Basaksehirspor so regain leadership which it has lost during this week.

Valbuena keeps Fenerbahce at title race.

Fenerbahce player Mathieu Valbuena with his performance during Super League 28th week game against Osmanlispor during 2nd half has shown how much as player he is important to his win as he played important role for 2:0 win.

Fenerbahce has started game in very poor form and didnt show any creative performance during 1st half without having any dangerous attacks with only few shots from outside penalty area which went out. Without having player like Mathieu Valbuena who is capable to open opponents defence with his fast and creative games with fast tempo it was big mistake not to start with him. Interestingly, Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman following game did state that Valbuena has been an important player for this result but has stated that if he had 2nd chance for this game he wouldnt start with him again. Meanwhile, there was long arguments about 1st goal but even without piero which has recieved criticism for manipulation it was visible from normal replay that ball was inside goal, even through some people seem to argue otherwise.

Fenerbahce has won an important game and with their opponents still going to meet against each other, Fenerbahce still has chance to end table as title winners and would aim to show similar performance against Sivasspor this weekend.

Ahmet Agaoglu has many tasks to solve at Trabzonspor. 

Newly-selected Trabzonspor CEO Ahmet Agaoglu has been especially noticed for realistic statements at the club and promising that even through it would be taking time, their would find solution

Those statements which are made from Ahmet Agaoglu at this stage are very important as it shows that he is aware of situation at the club and does his best to solve them. With being aware of economical situation he made it clear that he would not make transfers of players which cost around 15-20 million euro and would instead focus towards youth players and hence improve academy aspects of the team. Of course, time would show how much Ahmet Agaoglu would be able to solve those issues but it is visible that he is aiming to solve them. Showing also calm manner in personality he does show some similarities to Mehmet Cengiz at Galatasaray. Taking account that Ahmet Agaoglu was present at previous administration of the club, does put him close to the side and how things are working at the club.

Trabzonspor would start its new chapter written by Ahmet Agaoglu focussing to solve issues which clubs has currently and move team forward, and it would be important for team ,supporters and of course whole Turkish football that he achieves that.
