What happened in Turkish football today? 01/02/2019


Fenerbahce has won 1st time back-to-back with win against Goztepe. 

Fenerbahce has managed to get a win against Goztepe during Super League 20th week game with 2:0 scoreline and has gained lots of positive aspects such as winning back-to-back 1st time this season and not conceding goal and even more importantly has improved a lot with its performances.

Even through Fenerbahce has managed to win 2-games back-to-back it is important to state that team cant afford to relax as it is still at danger zone as it didnt get still mid-30s points but without doubt team is showing right trajectory during its performance as it didnt only win game but has managed to show good game with lack of the mistakes. This game both tactically and also performance wise has become closer to the aim which is Ersun Yanal aims to create as he wants for a team to be more attacking and controlling ball. It was visible also that Fenerbahce has managed to keep ball with very organised passes and keep ball at its legs. Whole team most importantly has managed to provide as togetherness performance aiming to get ahead with Nabil Dirar also showing one of his best performances since joining team last season. It was also important for Victor Moses to score his 1st goal at his new club with great organisation with Roberto Soldado who also shown great performance.

Goztepe meanwhile didnt provide a great performance during whole game and apart of sections at 2nd half didnt get much into game which has happened mainly due of good organised game of Fenerbahce, but still Goztepe didnt show good performance during 2nd half of the season which has affected their performance also today.

It was important for Fenerbahce to show such great performance with both aiming to get as soon as possible to psychological mark of mid-30 points and also get into habit to provide top football prior to knockout stages of Europa League.

Galatasaray would come out to Alanyaspor after having relief from transfer window.

As Galatasaray administrators and fans has got huge relief following mid-season transfer window where their managed to get crucial forward players during last 48 hours, it would now provide full focus back to the league as their would be meeting against Alanyaspor during Super League 20th week game.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray, even without attackers, has started 2nd half of the season at the high note and hence their chances of winning game would become even higher as it is expected that Kostas Mitroglou would be recieving some playing time even through he might not start at the starting 11. With this relief which club has been recieving it would be aiming to reflect that with its performance as it would be aiming to stay close to Basaksehirspor as for now it does look to be main opponent for title race and aims to provide some nervousness moments towards them. Alanyaspor in return would be aiming to provide also good performance even through selling its player Merih Demiral to Sassuolo would effect negatively to the side but it is important for team to have some belief and focus towards Galatasaray game if it wants to provide some shock to Istanbul giants.

It needs to be noted that without doubt Galatasaray would be coming as strong favourites to the game and end of transfer window would allow everyone at the team including head coach Fatih Terim to focus into performance at the field.

Trabzonspor would play against side which has almost changed its squad during mid-season window.

With Trabzonspor not being able to have any transfers due of the ban which their had recieved for not paying salaries to some players, it was at least capable at focussing at their game against Ankaragucu and not be distracted with transfer negotiations.

It can be noted that once again Trabzonspor new star Yunus Parlak is expected to take key role of the side as team would be aiming to get its first win of the 2nd half of the Super League as it has found further from title race in last 2 games. Ankaragucu who didnt manage to win for 8 games, would come out without knowing much as it has managed to change almost whole its squad during last 3 days and would be expected even to include around 3-4 players at its squad so it would be hard for Trabzonspor to know what kind of performance, in fact Ankaragucu fans and technical staff possibly doesnt know much what to expect from side. Still, Trabzonspor would be coming as favourite when watching teams recent performance and would aim for sure to get back to the race for top places at the league and likely would aim to get it with comfortable scoreline on the day.

As been noted Trabzonspor would be coming out but with Ankaragucu changes of most part of its squad during this mid-season transfer window does provide some unexpectancy from side.
