What happened in Turkish football today? 18/01/2019


Besiktas attackers has shown great performance against Akhisarspor. 

Turkish Super League 2nd half of this season has started with pretty exciting game between Besiktas and Akhisarspor, where Besiktas has got an important win against struggling Akhisarspor with 3:1 scoreline and has reduced point difference from leaders Basaksehirspor to 6 points.

Without doubt, Besiktas was coming out to an important game as it needed to win game to keep its league title chances arrive as loss could lead them to reduce chances for race to leadership even more. It needs to be stated that Besiktas has came out at the right motivation with looking for chances during game and creating great chances with 3 goals coming up from very organised performances. It was important for Dorukhan Tokoz to get a goal after being unlucky with VAR decisions on previous games, and he has scored with a great goal which would be remembered as one of the best during whole season for sure. Taking account of his young age and being potential star of the Turkish football for future years, this goal would provide an important motivation and confidence for rest of the season. Despite of game ending with 3:1 scoreline, it needs to be admitted that Akhisarspor on their hand did create high amount of the chances while Besiktas it should be admitted has made high amount of mistakes at defence and has been lucky for opponents to have poor last touch. Despite of some poor performance at the defence, Besiktas did show good performance and did provide a view that it is capable to fight for title with this performance.

As been mentioned above, Akhisarspor has managed to provide fast-paced game as the game has been developing creating high amount of dangerous chances but not being able to provide last touches which has prevented them to find an early goal during the game. It needs to be stated however that among having lack of last touches, it did have some weaknesses at the defence with conceding 3 goals.

Besiktas did come out to an important game against Akhisarspor and has provided some positive view and has reduced point difference to 6 points. In attacking front side has provided good signs for rest of the season.

Fenerbahce has provided very poor performance against Umraniyespor.

Fenerbahce didnt provide much change of its performance from 2nd half of the 2018 as it has lost to Umraniyespor with 1:0 scoreline during Turkish Cup last 16 1st leg game and has provided poor performance especially from Islam Slimani who didnt score high amount of good chances.

As it was known Fenerbahce has been treating Umraniyespor as new beginning but as was case in previous games it has provided pretty poor performance even through it could be argued that performance in 1st half was pretty good and red card of Eljif Elmas in start of the 2nd half had negative effect to the team. But taking account of quality differences between both sides, Fenerbahce needed to be able to get upper hand of the game in 2nd half also and needed to dominate game despite of having one man less at the field. Fenerbahce player Islam Slimani has also carried on not being able to score goals even through he did find one goal which was disallowed due of the foul. This performance does show at least for now that mid-season training camp didnt have any effect towards players at all. Good news for Fenerbahce that away game 1:0 scoreline at the tie is not bad result, and team still can turn around this tie in 2nd leg but with much better performance.

Fenerbahce right now would provide all focus to Super League game against Bursaspor where in all fairness their opponents to come out as stronger favourite for a win.

Galatasaray will not come out to the Ankaragucu game with an ideal squad.

Galatasaray is going to restart their Super League campaign for league title as it would be meeting with Ankaragucu despite of losing Ozan Kabak at the squad this week and still not having an attacker at its disposal.

It needs to be stated that Galatasaray carries on having poor transfer season right now and apart of Maicon at defence it didnt manage to get any players and hence would be coming out without clear attacker. Without doubt, Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim would have a difficult time at making squad especially at the front and hence their is big question if team would be able to show strong performance, mainly due of not very effective from administrators at that front. To some respect, Galatasaray would be considering lucky to have an opponent like Ankaragucu which also has some serious issues including losing its head coach and hence it might not have an opponent which would create much chances. But still with such weak squad which Galatasaray would come out, it would be expected that Ankaragucu would be giving some chances to get a win at this game.

Galatasaray will be coming out to the game very far from an ideal squad which their would be seeking for certain but it would be aiming at least to get a win and get strong morale for rest of the season.
