What happened in Turkish football today? 11/03/2019


Fernando Muslera has played most important role for Galatasaray during Antalyaspor game even if scoreline is 5:0

Galatasaray has got an confident win against Antalyaspor with 5:0 scoreline during Super League 25th week game and has reduced point difference once again to 8 points with leaders Basaksehirspor, and has gained an important motivation boost for at least next game against Bursaspor.
It needs to be stated that even through it did lead game with 1:0 scoreline 65th minute, Galatasaray didnt show a great game with providing not very effective game and has allowed for Antalyaspor to create some chances. In fact, during that moment Galatasaray player Fernnado Muslera has made an important 7 saves and hence has provided his best performance since joining team. It needs to be noted that when Galatasaray has got goals back to back has affected high morale for a team and has led for team to look to let Mbiaye Diagne to score as he has scored with header towards goal with being at right place at right time. Time would show if this goal would provide a motivation towards Diagne but he needs to find goal against Bursaspor to carry on this momentum. Galatasaray still needs to reduce 8 point difference with 27 points available during this season againt Basaksehirspor which would not be an easy one but to have any chance for league title it needs to make 8 out 8 for sure.

Antalyaspor has provided actually good performance prior to starting conceding goals from 65th minute and has provided great attacks with being unlucky as Fernando Muslera has shown high level performance and has some important saves. Still Antalyaspor has shown good and confident game. But Antalyaspor has lost concentration and organisation after 3:0 scoreline score. Antalyaspor needs to be careful as it gets closer to relegation area with 5 point advantage for now.

Galatasaray has got an important win and even of 5:0 scoreline, star player of the game has been Fernando Muslera with providing some key chances before Galatasaray has dominated game for last 25 minutes.

Besiktas needs to give all focus to last 9 games of season.

Besiktas has managed to get an important win against Konyaspor with last minute goal by Shinji Kagawa with 3:2 scoreline despite of recieving high amount of protests from their own fans towards number of players and head coach Senol Gunes.

The game has been dominated sadly by behaviour of fans towards Senol Gunes and number of players who has shown high amount of protests towards coach and also to some players such as Lorius Karius and Ricardo Quaresma. Taking account that number of fans have shown strong action against club, it needs to be noted that this win and also positive performance from team has need to be praised. This performance did show however that Besiktas does seem to have an issue with defence and also goalkeeper as Konyaspor not being very effective during game did still manage to create few chances and has found 2 goals and almost ended game at a draw. If Besiktas does aim to end season at 2nd spot, as their league title aims seem to be over with current situation, it needs to make sure that Besiktas supporters would provide support to team and also towards Senol Gunes while he stays at the club or otherwise it does even run risk of not ending at top 4 spot which could lead them to have Europa League football next season.

Besiktas is going through some difficult periods right now both internally and externally and best team needs to is to provide full focus for last 9 games this season for sure.

Senol Gunes would have stressful days with Besiktas until end of the season

Since an announcement of Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes as Turkish National Team coach, Gunes has recieved high amount of pressure from his supporters and media and also possibly inside team also.

It was reported that he was considering to announce his resignation from Besiktas post following Konyaspor but administrators has come to the changing room and has led him to change with him. This could be explained why he has called players and has waved towards fans following game despite of strong protest he has recieved. Meanwhile, following game their was strong discussion regarding of why he is not leaving club, Beinsports analyst(Turkish broadcaster of Super League) Reha Kapsal has stated that he is not leaving due of amount of compensation, which has made Senol Gunes very angry following game. More importantly, this angry reaction which did come out bit of proportion does provide a view that Senol Gunes does have some pressure towards him even if Besiktas wants him to stay. What is important here that it should not also provide negative aspect towards Turkish National Team, which to be frank is more important right now at footballing world, but their are risk of it affecting to national team also sadly.

It does look like Besiktas will have difficult last 9 games of the league and Senol Gunes would have affected mostly from it and hopefully it would go through with least damage.
