What happened in Turkish football today? 26/08/2018


Besiktas had surprisingly lost to Ankaragucu. 

Besiktas has lost its 1st game during this season against Antalyaspor with showing actually most forward-focussed performance of this season so far but without using its opportunities during game has lost game with 3:2 scoreline.

Meanwhile, Antalyaspor also has made a historical as 1st team to win against Besiktas at their stadium Vodafone Arena, and has provided without doubt shocking result towards Besiktas players and fans. What is more interesting that it would really unfair that Besiktas didnt deserve this win, as their had provided a very attacking game seeking for chance. However, with starting 3:1 during 2nd half and despite of finding goal with Pepe 56th minute, Besiktas has wanted to win game and start rushing game which also affected to make decision to fast and this has led them at not finding goal which their were looking at. Meanwhile, starting game with young goalkeeper Utku Yuvakuran due of Tolga Zengin injury, did affect the outcome of the game. It could be argued that Yuvakuran didnt make any mistake but some of his small actions which more experienced goalkeeper would not do has affected to the game. Besiktas did show good performance but has been unlucky and also playing rush game has cost them 3 points.

Meanwhile, Antalyaspor which had some serious issue both at the field and internal didnt come to the game as favourite but with using its opportunities during game has led them to win game. In addition, Boffin great performance at the goal has led them to not concede goal and also Doukara has been main person to find goals.

Besiktas would see this game as an accident and it was to some extend but their are still lessons to be learned from this game towards players.

Fenerbahce is going backwards with its performance

Fenerbahce has carried on providing poor performance against Goztepe during Super League 3rd week and carries on starting season at the poor form during recent periods and the worrying image that it is performing even worser than last season.

Fenerbahce during game against Goztepe couldnt create high number of the amount and has trouble at controlling game especially after conceding goal. It is usually expected from sides to even add more effort and attacking game from big teams when their are conceding goal but as Fenerbahce head coach Phillip Cocu has stated following game the team has lost team-play and didnt manage to show anything. One more worrying image is that by selling its players Giuliano and Josef de Souza absence has affected at the game and team has went backwords. The only hope is for new transfers to really show good performance if team wants to get into being seen as title contenders. After possible 9 points which could be gained, Fenerbace has lost 6 points which very worrying image. Another point is Fenerbahce keep conceding from 1st shots of the goal due of mistakes at defence and also Volkan Demirel, even through yesterday he couldnt not be judged too harshly. Fenerbahce with this condition needs to score more than 1 goal to win game if defence would show this performance.

Fenerbahce are in serious note and sadly for them is not providing good hope for next week game against Kayserispor and might lose strong support from fans arleady.

Ankaragucu attacking style did surprise Trabzonspor. 

Even through Trabzonspor did lose 2 points against Ankaragucu during Super League 3rd week, as team it did show good performance especially taking account poor condition of the field where both sides has shown great performance.

Taking account of the opponent of Trabzonspor and condition of the field it needs to be admitted that game ended up being much more exciting that would been expected. It is clear that both sides did come out to win game. Trabzonspor meanwhile doesnt need to worry much about absences of Burak Yilmaz due of injuries, as Hugo Rodallega takes his place and showing his best performance at the side since joining them. It does seem to be solved an attacking issue which it had for many years and is having team which always looks for chances and currently does need however to find solutions at the back of the field. It needs to be stated still Ankaragucu has shown great game which was likely not also expected from Trabzonspor side also and tactically did surprise them. Both sides did show good performance and the draw has been fair result.

Even through during next game Galatasaray would be favourite against Trabzonspor, Trabzon side is capable to get winning result or at least provide lots of difficulties to them in next week big game.
