What happened in Turkish football today? 23/12/2018


Galatasaray has shown high level performance as it came out with almost perfect squad.

Galatasaray has shown very effective performance during Super League 17th week game against Sivaspor as it has ended game with 4:2 scoreline, mainly to the factor that it was playing with perfect 11 after long time as injuries and punishments has been completed.

Galatasaray as been mentioned has provided strong and organised performance and showing some signs which was visible during last season and start of the season and does provide some optimism for 2nd half of the season as it has reduced point difference from Galatasaray to 6 points. One of the key players of the Galatasaray during game has been Younes Belhanda, Sofiane Feghouli and Henri Onyekuru who among finding goals each have also provided strong game keep looking for chances. Still, some mistakes at the defence which mainly has brought 2 goals from Robinho during 1st half does still provide some worrying images due of simplicity of the mistakes and led Robinho to show his class. This aspect did show that Galatasaray would need to make transfers at defence but forward seeking performance of team during today's game has led them to find 4 goals in total.

Sivasspor who has been showing great results and performance in recent weeks has been not at best form as it had some mistakes at the defence and has led Galatasaray to have easier game even through their did start game in very positive manner.

Galatasaray who didnt have great season so far did manage to play its last game during 1st half of the season with high level performance and among finding itself once again as strong league title candidate, would also find themselves entering to break at good mood.

Trabzonspor has ended 1st half of the season at very high note.

Trabzonspor carries on showing high level performance at the Super League as it has ended 1st half of the season with comfortable 4:1 win against last-placed Rizespor and has provided for most amount of the game with attacking performance.

Trabzonspor as been stated at our preview is among teams which are at great form right now and have shown that as the game has been progressing especially with Abdulkadir Omur becoming star player as he has found 2 goals. It needs to be admitted that Rizespor during this Black Sea derby game has shown some good chances especially from starting game and hence to some extend this scoreline should not make it look that it was easy task for Trabzonspor. But taking account that Trabzonspor without doubt has turned into good attacking side, it has created high amount of the chances as the game has been progressing with getting strong support from its supporters. Trabzonspor without doubt would be aiming to carry on providing similar performance during 2nd half of the season as it is currently 6 points behind leaders Basaksehirspor and with taking account that it would start 2nd half against them it would be aiming to carry on its performance during mid-season transfer window with making strong transfers during also for sure.

Rizespor, who is located at last place, has provided pretty brave game with creating chances but without doubt conceding goals from Trabzonspor has affected to the morale of the side and hence has affected outcome of the game.

As been noted, it needs to be stated that Trabzonspor has provided which it aims at and would hope to carry on this momentum after mid-season break and even improve in many aspects during that time.

Besiktas game against Kasimpasa has defined teams situation for this season. 

Besiktas has provided very dissapointing result and overall 1st half performance as it has lost to
Kasimpasa with 4:1 scoreline and to some extend does provide good image of Besiktas performance during this season.

It needs to be noted that it was observed once again that Besiktas has been very far from its high tempo and organised game which it has shown during recent seasons at the Super League and does need to make lots of works during mid-season break both technically and also administrative taking account economical issues and salaries towards players. It needs to be noted still that Trabzonspor did start a great game with finding goal which was disallowed due of VAR but after that it was obvious that Kasimpasa, currently located at 2nd place does find itself at playing much more organised football knowing better what to do and creating high amount of the chances with Diagne finding other 2 goals, making total tally towards 20 goals, highest at Super League history during 1st half of the season. Besiktas without doubt needs to figure lots of internal issues at the team and this mid-season break would be very effective and stressful for the team in all areas, as many areas needs to improve for 2nd half.

Besiktas certainly has lost its passion and it needs to find it back during mid-season both with existing players and new transfers which it would be able to make.
