What happened in Turkish football today? 23/11/2018


Galatasaray has lost 2 points against Konyaspor due of penalty which never was there. 

Super League 13th week game between Galatasaray and Konyaspor has been ended with 1:1 scoreline as game has been mainly dominated with last minute penalty decision towards Galatasaray goal and aftermath it had with referee not watching replay at VAR screen.

With VAR system sometimes being praised and criticised at Super League at its first season, it has shown one of the biggest failures during this season as clearly non-penalty decision has led for Galatasaray to lose important 2 points, as Serdar Aziz has clearly touched ball first and later to the leg due of natural movement of the position. This decision has played role at final score of the game.Stating that it needs to be admitted that Galatasaray didnt manage to show great performance and find only goal through own goal from Konyaspor players which has happened due of misunderstanding at defence. Galatasaray lack of players due of injuries and fines has provided once again that team is going through difficult game and is unable to find perfect squad during upcoming Super League and Turkish Cup games. Meanwhile, Galatasaray has once again showed strong protest towards TFF after game and this could lead to new fines and punishments from PFDK, with no players and caretaker coach Levent Sahin also refussing to provide post-game interview.

Konyaspor meanwhile could be seen has got this point from referee mistake, did in fact shown good performance and has been pretty organised also looking for chances and with only one really loss of concentration from defenders during game has led them concede goal. Still this game did show some optimism for upcoming games.

Galatasaray would be entering meanwhile to hard and very crucial week for their season as their would be playing important game against Lokomotiv Moscow at Champions League on 28th November and against Besiktas at Super League on 2nd December.

Besiktas would be coming out against Ankaragucu after game has been moved to Kayseri...

Besiktas would be resuming its Super League campaign with 13th week game against Ankaragucu which has been moved to Kayseri due of condition of the field as Besiktas would be coming out to the game with some crucial absences.

It has been found out that Besiktas players Ryan Babel and Pepe would not be able to playing during game due of the injuries which has been recieved with their national sides during international break and hence would be missing two of its key players for such crucial game. Meanwhile, it is also known that Ankaragucu has been specifically unhappy for game location to be changed by TFF 1 day before the game, an issue which would be discussed at this blog below. But it is clear that this would provide some difficulty for Ankaragucu as it would lose its opportunity to play game as home team, and with taking that it has started showing good performance in recent period this would provide lots of difficulty in sense of concentration and motivation of the game. Besiktas meanwhile does find itself 9 points behind league leaders Basaksehirspor and get afford to lose such crucial game against Ankaragucu as it would even find its position even harder for rest of the game this season. Surely, Besiktas would be coming with sole aim to get 3 points.

This would be tough game but due of quality of teams, Besiktas would be coming out as favourite but it needs to show better performance compare to previous its games.

...And Ankaragucu is unhappy with this decision.

Staying with Ankaragucu and Besiktas game, Ankaragucu administration has shown disbelief and anger towards TFF which has decided to move game to the Kayseri due of poor condition of the field at its home ground Yenikent Stadium.

Quite rightly, Ankaragucu has become specifically unhappy for checking of the field has been done 1 day before Besiktas game and has provided news that field is not in good condition at such short notice. Ankaragucu has also reminded that the games of this season has been played at this stadium and even through of poor field condiiton, games has been played in good manner. Club also has stated that it did consider to go into drastic measures of not coming out to the game but with considering circumstances such taking away points and fine it has changed its mind and at last moment has made deal with Kayseri Kadir Has Stadium game to take place there. It does need to state that this decision of moving to stadium is not acceptable of course, as change of stadium at such short notice would provide discomfort to players and even more to fans and would have circumstances at game tomorrow.

It is true that this decision has been made for good of players and quality of game but it should been made days or even weeks beforehand not day before of kick-off of game.
