What happened in Turkish football today? 26/04/2019


Basaksehirspor has lost crucial 3 points while Goztepe has got life-saving 3 points. 

Basaksehirspor has recieved unexpected loss to struggling Goztepe with 2:0 scoreline and with Istanbul side carrying on losing points during last weeks of this season, it has got into critical situation at its aim when taking out that Galatasaray would win on 29th April, it would lose advantage in race.

Among losing such a crucial game, Basaksehirspor didnt provide much fighting and creative game and apart of some parts of the game it needs to be admitted that it wasnt close to get a win. Taking account that it was playing against side which needed to win game today for its survival race at the Super League and interestingly recieving high support from their fans even if it was away game has provided high amount of stress to Basaksehirspor. This blog for long time and also last season did state several times that one of the main barrier for getting league title is not having any strong support behind themselves as fans as during critical weeks those fans would push forward when things are not going as planned. It does look like Basaksehirspor needs to figure out how to solve its issue of having lack of fans at such critical games which is mainly could be achieved with psychological push of its players from technical staff. Basaksehirspor has been poor at creative game and didnt show much reaction to conceded goal, even if its two goals has been disallowed. With this kind of game as today it would lose lots of points during those last 4 games.

Goztepe meanwhile has got very important win and has found themselves outside of relegation zone with 1 point more than Bursaspor who has game in hand. More importantly Goztepe has provided high focus to thte game and both tactically did play to win game so it has got a deserved win and without doubt has recieved high motivation boost for deciding games in upcoming weeks.

Basaksehirspor carries on putting their title possibilities into difficulty as it has lost against Goztepe and cant really afford to lose points during this next 4 games including against Galatasaray on 33rd week.

Yeni Malatyaspor head coach Erol Bulut has resigned from his post next day after Galatasaray loss.

Yeni Malatyaspor has recieved pretty unexpected 5:1 loss to Galatasaray during Turkish Cup semi-final 2nd leg game even through their did come out as underdogs in overall. With this result and recent poor performance of Yeni Malatyaspor during 2nd half of the season has led for Erol Bulut to resign from his position.

With Yeni Malatyaspor good start of the season, team in pretty realistic aspects has set its aim for season to reach to Europa League either through league or winning cup route and at one point of the league it was close to achieve that however with recent performance of the team, it has found itself further. Yeni Malatyaspor when focussing into specifically Turkish Cup did provide good performance until yesterday game as it did provide good defensive performance but was below its level during 2nd leg. It was seen pretty normal that Erol Bulut has called for resignation as he was seen that he could provide damage when Yeni Malatyaspor still has chance to end season at 5th spot which could be route to Europa League qualifiers if Galatasaray wins Turkish Cup. What is important now for Yeni Malatyaspor is to found replacement for him at short period of span as all teams are entering to critical last 5 games of the season.

As been mentioned Yeni Malatyaspor has shown good performance in general this season and Erol Bulut didnt want to prevent side to have bad end of this season.

Galatasaray has got an opportunity to end season with double. 

With Galatasaray being 3 points behind of league leaders Basaksehirspor as last 5 games are left during this season and also winning all games would be enough, it also got into final of Turkish Cup and having good chances to get double.

Galatasaray in fact has shown its best performance so far during this season Turkish Cup as players has been focussed into winning game from start of the game and this focus has been obvious as game has been continued as it carried on finding goals and was at good focus and has also gained an important motivation for rest of the season. It would now meet with Akhisarspor which is remembered has relegated side from Turkish Cup at semi-final stage and hence Istanbul giant has an opportunity to get payback from that game and also get its 18th title and carry on being most successful side at Turkish Cup. Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim following game has stated that current aim of the team is to get double for this season which by itself does show how much is focussed to achieve this aim and has all chances to achieve that.

Even through Galatasaray did have some bad periods during this season taking account of its performance level, it has got chance to end season with double as long as it wins all of the games left this season.
