What happened in Turkish football today? 03/09/2018


Besiktas has shown pretty poor performance against Bursaspor

Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes has shown worst start with his team during his 3 years reign as he has drawn against Bursaspor with 1:1 scoreline during 4th week of the Super League and has lost 4 points in last 2 games.

What is visible mainly with the team that it has lost its level of tempo in the start of the season and has shown one of the worst performances during yesterday's game. Among of not finding right tempo against Bursaspor and failing to dominate game it was also visible that organisationally it was not in best day. Bursaspor which has found goal on 85th minute, has been inside the game for most amount of the game and good performance of Loris Karius, who despite of conceding goal, did show pretty good performance has managed to prevent good chances from Bursaspor. Especially when finding 1:0 scoreline, it would been more expected for Besiktas to find at least 2nd goal but their reduced their effectiveness and when playing against pretty strong opponent at stadium where is strong support was always dangerous tactic as it kept them into the game and motivation. Besiktas has shown pretty poor performance and raises some questions of its effectiveness.

Besiktas does need this national team break for sure and it would need time to identify mistakes which their had shown in those last 2 games.

Galatasaray has lost patience with Youness Belhanda behaviour.

Right now all focus at the Galatasaray is given towards red card which was recieved by Youness Belhanda and without doubt is being into top of agenda right at Turkish sports media as his undiscipline and poor performance is being argued at the club and whole media.

It is reported that Galatasaray is considering to provide high amount of fine which could raise up to 500,000 euro and also he might be missing to be playing at many games for upcoming months. It needs to be reminded that until now Belhanda has been uneffective in all of the fields and certainly is way behind of Wesley Sneijder, who he was expected to replace at the squad. With Galatasaray having also poor attacks right now, it would been expected that Belhanda role should be even more active but player seems to be reluctant to show it. In fact, club was expected to sell him but with Belhanda behaviour and reluctance to leave did provide an issue. It does look patience with Belhanda of Fatih Terim, has been raised into high note and it would be no surprise if he would chose for squad at upcoming games for rest of the season, unless if its very needed.

Youness Belhanda of course has an opportunity at least until winter to show use usefulness and professionalism to the team during training session but he needs to change his performance and also behaviour to recieve this apology from club.

Kasimpasa has started season with 100% record.

With 4 weeks played at the Super League and with national team break, only club which has managed to win all of the 4 games so far has been Kasimpasa which has shown its best start of its history at the top league.

Even through it could be argued that Kasimpasa didnt yet play any tough games, it has shown great fighting spirit in all of the 4 games winning them in highly deserved manner. Having also good squad, especially of Trezeguet which many clubs were aiming to transfer to also pushes team forward with him always looking for goals. Adding also great start of season, of newly-signed player Diagne who recieves high expectation from club and its supporters also plays an important role for this success. Kasimpasa as remembered also shown great start during last season but later didnt manage to continue so it is important for team to carry on this performance so it can fight at least for Europa League spot for next season. Kasimpasa would be playing against Galatasaray next week which would be 1st tough test for them during this season and would need to show at least high level performance and even when losing in way which would be keeping their head high and not effect into motivation to bad.

Kasimpasa which has started with 100% record has all potentiality to show great performance this season but it needs to stay focussed and always show development with how their play.
