What happened in Turkish football today? 17/09/2018


Trabzonspor has got unexpected loss against organised Alanyaspor. 

Trabzonspor has got unexpected loss against Alanyaspor during Super League 5th week game with 1:0 scoreline even through it needs to be admitted that club has created great chances and has provided fast tempo but has got in-form Alanyaspor performance.

It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor certainly didnt expect to conceding goal at the 4th minute from youngster Merih Demiral but as been stated it has raised tempo as game has progressed but Trabzonspor couldnt pass very organised tactical game of Alanyaspor. Despite of the loss, its needs to be stated that team has shown very attacking game creating high number of the chances which is big improvement from previous seasons while it was losing it has also provided slow tempo. Still, there was big difference from their performance against Galatasaray and as Unal Karaman has stated after game that it was important to forget that game but players didnt manage that and didnt provide same level performance in today game. It needs to be noted also that attacking players Nwakaeme and Rodallega has shown forward-seeking game but has been lacked last minute touches which has costed team 3 points and right now find them 5 points behind league leaders.

In other hand, Alanyaspor without doubt has shown its best performance during this season as it was providing an organised game both in attack and defence and dint allow opponents to get crucial chances. Meanwhile, Melih Demiral has shown great performance during today's game and being young player gives some potential for his and Turkey future.

Trabzonspor has got unexpected loss against Alanyaspor but as side especially after winning Galatasaray last week and now needs to identify what went wrong during today's game and improve  for next week game against Goztepe.

Fenerbahce has got an important win against Konyaspor.

Fenerbahce has managed to get an important win against Konyaspor during Super League 5th week game but it did get result which it was seeking for and has recieved an important motivation and confidence.

It still needs to be admitted that despite of national team break which club has aimed to improve it didnt show huge rise of performance level but still has managed to end game without conceding goal achieving it 1st time during this season with also help from Harun Tekin. Even through in overall it could be stated that team didnt provide great performance, there was one player which did stood out from yesterday game which Yasmine Benzia who has provided a great assist to Eljif Elmas without showing any egoistical aspects and in general has shown that he is capable of showing high level performance. Still, Konyaspor did create high number of the chances with some of them Fenerbahce has been lucky and in some Harun Tekin has done important saves as game progressed and hence has helped team to get such an important win. Still this performance might not be enough for Dinamo Zagreb and Besiktas and hence the team needs to improve with its performance for coming up days without doubt.

Still, as been stated Fenerbahce has got crucial motivation for upcoming games with Eljif Elmas and Benzia being main actors for this to take place.

Galatasaray would need to give their best against Lokomotiv Moscow.

Following 2-season break, Galatasaray would play its 1st Champions League  game against Russian league title winners Lokomotiv Moscow at home ground and would be focussing to start competition with a win and get upper leg at this pretty equal group.

Galatasaray starting from last season has shown great performance at its home ground and among also having some strong players at the squad and Lokomotiv Moscow not starting its domestic season at high note, would be aiming to show confident performance with the help of the supporters. Still, this would also be 1st game for Galatasaray to start with not strong attacking squad, with Eren Derdiyok being only attacker at the squad with Garry Rodrigues and Emre Akbaba however showing signs that their can take also this role. We need to add that Galatasaray does shown unbalanced performance with winning Alanyaspor and Kasimpasa scoring 9 goals to both clubs but did concede to Trabzonspor to 4:1. Lokomotiv Moscow without doubt would come out without much fear to game and would aim to show strong performance to which Galatasaray needs to be aware and stay focussed to.

Galatasaray does look to be slightly favourite to the game but as inclined it would not be easy and as every Champions League it needs to give strong performance against Lokomotiv.
