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


Fatih Terim has shown impatience with getting new players during Alanyaspor game. 

Galatasaray has lost crucial 2 points for its title race as it has drawn 1:1 against Alanyaspor at the game where team did provide any top performances and didnt show strong togetherness as both Lumiyandama and Mitroglou has started at starting 11.

It needs to be stated that one of the reasons why Galatasaray didnt show great performance and organisation during 1st half has been for starting with those newly-signed players who only joined team 2 days ago. Without having too much training and adaptation to each other, it was clear that both players and their teammates surrounding them couldnt provide strong game and this has been fault of Fatih Terim in view of this blog. In fact, starting game without any single Turkish players even through tactically could be correct, it doesnt do good for Turkish football especially when this decision has come from ex-national team coach. During 2nd half, when Galatasaray has returned more or less to its usual squad it has improved naturally to its performance but with good performance of Alanyaspor and also starting 2nd half with 1:0 scoreline, it was hard for Galatasaray to show strong comeback to the game. Without doubt, Galatasaray would stay among one of the strongest title race sides and main opponent for Basaksehirspor but team could be searching for this lost 2 points as Fatih Terim showed some impatience at introducing new players without much training.

Alanyaspor meanwhile has shown very good and positive strong aiming to show their own football without showing any fear from Galatasaray moving forward and creating chances as much as it can with finding great goal from Campos. It does look that Alanyaspor as team would carry on showing top performance with Sergen Yalcin and not feeling much absense of Merih Demiral.

With Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim willing to make his new tactics with new players of rest of the season prematuraliry without doubt has role of losing 2 points. This current option of team can provide lots of success but as all changes its needs time for adaptation.

Trabzonspor has won against Ankaragucu at the game which ended up being more than harder than expected.

Trabzonspor has managed to win Super League 20th week game against Ankaragucu with 1:0 scoreline which also managed to be 1st win of 2nd half of the Super League season but it needs to be noted that this win has been much more difficult than team has been expected.

In fact, an early goal by Hugo Rodallega during 6th minute and also forward-focussed game by Trabzonspor with high tempo has provided a view that Trabzonspor might win game in comfortable scoreline, but Ankaragucu did provide a view to their opponents that their wont allow for Trabzon side to have an easy game. It needs to be noted that in same manner as in previous games
Trabzonspor has been shown positive attitute to the game and have created high amount of the chances. However, it could be argued that Trabzonspor player Hugo Rodallega and Caleb Ekuban did provide slightly egoistic performance as their were to find goals which has led surely an negative impact of not converting high amount of the chances as the game has been progressed. Still it needs to be noted that Trabzonspor did stay focussed for the game and has created high amount of the chances but it needs to be admitted that it did have high amount of the chances to convert chances as game progressed so it didnt in some senses it does have some lack of providing last touches during game. Still, Trabzonspor have some positive impact with this win for upcoming games.

Ankaragucu meanwhile has shown pretty unexpectedly good performance which possibly has been affected from new signings at the team and also an attempt to have new beginning for a team with today's game and does provide some positive aspect for upcoming games.

With Trabzonspor losing 5 points during last 2 games, it did need to win today's game and with finding an early goal it has turned out game but the game has ended up harder than their expected but their have managed to get an important win.

Fenerbahce starts successfully as  its season turns into positive right now. 

Fenerbahce has managed to win 2 games back-to-back as it has met with Goztepe and possibly even more important didnt concede goal and has become much closer to the performance which Ersun Yanal is seeking for a team.

Since transformation period for Fenerbahce is not over towards game which team is seeking for, it didnt provide game which fans and technical staff are aiming for especially with performances which has took place when Goztepe has been left with less than 1 man due of red card. In fact, Goztepe has provided better performance during that period, an area which would make Ersun Yanal to be worried and an area which it he would be seeking for to improve performance. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that it was important for Victor Moses to find a goal with high quality teams as this aspects without doubt would make adaptation and getting to good form more faster as it raises confidence and motivation. Also Tolgay Arslan and Nabil Dirar did show good performance and slowly and also an important period of the season, Fenerbahce does look to turn around it performance to its favour and would be seeking to win next week game against Kayserispor to come out against Zenit at Europa League.

Fenerbahce among showing better performnaces is start regaining confidence and this factor and focus would lead the team to start gaining point and get further from relegation zone and aim for top 10 positions.
