What happened in Turkish football today? 18/03/2019


Galatasaray has shown memorable comeback against Bursaspor.

Galatasaray has managed to show great comeback during Super League 26th week game against Bursaspor with Badou Ndiaye goal which has reduced scoreline from 2:0 to 2:1 has played an important role for this comeback.

Galatasaray performance during game can be analysed with two different halves. as Istanbul giant didnt show any high level performance and has lacked any organised game during 1st half which has led for conceding two goals as Bursaspor has provided quiet opposite of that. Interestingly, 2nd half has provided quite opposite as Galatasaray has got an important opportunity to reduce point difference from leaders to 6 points as Basaksehirspor has lost game earlier and has done that with scoring 2 more goals. Without doubt, Fatih Terim motivational and highly expected to be harsh talks at half time has played most important role with this memorable comeback which teams has shown during this season as it has gained most amount of points with comebacks. Still, comeback at the standings is quite different thing but with having home game against Basaksehirspor on 33rd week does provide high hope for Galatasaray to get title despite of numerous barriers.

Galatasaray would be entering to national team break with high motivation but it needs to improve its performance still as 1st half has provided worried image towards team as it would not always have chance to show such comebacks.

Basaksehirspor has shown great performance but it has been one to blame for showing rush football against Kayserispor.

Even through it could be seen that Basaksehirspor has lost crucial 2 points, in same time it has gained 1 point as it has found goal with penalty on last minute thanks to the Emmanuel Adebayor.

Basaksehirspor has provided most active and creative game during game against Kayserispor as it has chances back to back with Edin Visca having more than 10 key chances to found goal but either couldnt find on target or has been denied by Lung who has shown high level goalkeeper performance during game. Still, it needs to be admitted that Kayserispor did provide good performance and has prevented Basaksehirspor to get an important goal prior to game and side has been playing more rushed game to keep its advantage at the top. One of the reasons why Basaksehirspor has provided most attacking game has been that it was coming from behind and keep looking for winning goals as it was behind. Therefore, it is case that Basaksehirspor has shown very attacking game but that wouldnt be case if it has found goal earlier. Therefore, comments that Basaksehirspor has shown its best game is questionable as providing such performance has been led due of fact that it was almost losing game.

This was very valuable lesson for Basaksehirspor as it would get behind in upcoming games until end of the season and would meet with strong and organised defence and goalkeepers and its important how it would deal with those barrier for their road to league title.

New chapter at Turkish National Team has been opened today. 

Even through Turkish National Team would start its Euro2020 qualifiers on 21st March with game against Andorra where Senol Gunes would be also have his 1st game as team referee, new beginning is being today as it has 1st training session.

One of the memorable performances of Turkish National Team at its history has been bronze medal on World Cup 2002 and main person who has brought this success without doubt been Senol Gunes.
It needs to be stated that back then Turkey also had very good footballer generation, heavily been dominated from Galatasaray squad which won UEFA Cup in 2000, so Gunes might have difficult task but there is some potential for this team to get to Euro2020 with this generation. However, without doubt its important to win Albania and Moldova in its games, prior to June game against France, to keep their chances high for qualification. It is certain that Senol Gunes would have difficult job in the beginning to motivate players and also getting used to players which he didnt work before and he would need time and to some extend playing relatively with not really difficult opponents could be good chance for this team.

This would be new beginning for team and next 2 weeks would at least provide signs if it does have potential future for memorable performances from national team once again.
