What happened in Turkish football today? 31/10/2018


Trabzonspor didnt have much problem with Bugsasspor

Trabzonspor has managed to win Turkish Cup 4th round game against Bugsaspor with 2:0 scoreline without having much issues as it was playing game with players which didnt recieve much playing time in this season and also with young players.

Taking account that high amount of clubs from Super League tends to get surprising result from 2nd and 3rd league clubs during this 4th round, it was important to Trabzonspor to show calm and confident performance with squad which didnt recieve lots of playing time. Even through opponent wasnt difficult and 2nd goal did come from an own goal and Trabzonspor didnt show too much attacking game against Bugsasspor, it was still visible that players at the team has been provided full focus to the game which hence has affected to the outcome and motivation of the game. With Trabzonspor having unstable season in Super League, it was important to keep its winning mood from this game and it should be able to provide positive effect into this weekend game. Stating that Trabzonspor in recent past didnt have much issue at 4th round at the competition but didnt show good performance at last 16 and hence team would need to show good performance at next round whoever will be their opponents.

Bugsasspor meanwhile did come out as big underdogs of the game and did aim to show their performance into positive way and to some extend their did manage that as their did create some chances but quality factor did play crucial role here for sure.

Trabzonspor as mentioned did keep their motivation as their got into last 16 stage without much trouble at Turkish Cup and would certainly see this competition as one of the main aims of their season.

Fenerbahce carries on careful search for head coach role.

Without surprise the main focus at the Turkish sports media has been given towards Fenerbahce on this days, who are preparing to the derby game against Galatasaray without having head coach and looking for alternative names.

With many names going around sports media on this days, which includes domestic and foreign names, their are strong rumour that Fenerbahce sports director Damien Comolli did have one-on-one talks with Laurent Blanc to take this role, as Comolli sees him as best option for such a role. It is reported that Laurent Blanc has informed club's administration that he would need time to think about such an offer and for now it is hard to know for sure, but Comolli really wants to see him as such position. In other front, it is known for long time that Fenerbahce supporters are calling for Ersun Yanal who has brought last league title to the team 2 months prior at the end of the season and team does consider such an option but didnt yet have talks with him. Fenerbahce are reported to take this issue slowly and aim to take best decision as its main aim to build team which would be able to save this season and also build for next season and hence focusses into appointing best name available.

As mentioned, Ali Koc right now focusses into all possibiliites and aims to make best decision to give key to the team for long period and bring successful results.

Galatasaray have number of injuries and also lack of team game with current players prior to derby game.

Galatasaray who meet with coachless Fenerbahce on 2nd November right now has some issues with injured players and does have trouble at coming out to the game with best players it can at its home ground.

It has been reported that some players does show some recovery but still players like Yuto Nagatomo, Fernando, Belhanda among some will not be able to play during Fenerbahce game. Another issues however that Galatasaray with current players are uncapable at showing great performance at recent games and with providing that team would come out to derby game with much more pressure compare to their opponents does provide some uncertainty if team would be able to get winning result at most important derby in the country. Still news that Martin Linnes and Sofiane Feghouli are expected to be at starting 11 at the game does provide some hope at the team. Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim in addition without doubt main focus would be to make team which would be able to work as team as he has complained about this issue a lot during recent period for sure.

Galatasaray technical staff certainly would aim for players to work as team and to reduce pressure during Fenerbahce game with players due of such an important game their would come out.
