What happened in Turkish football today? 08/04/2019


Besiktas has cruised with confident win against Rizespor with Yalcin and Ljajic great performances. 

Besiktas has got an historical win against Rizespor during Super League 27th week game with getting 7:2 scoreline at the game where Guven Yalcin and Adem Ljajic has become stars of the game and carried on its fight to end league at 2nd place.

Even through Besiktas has managed to get win with such a confident scoreline, it needs to be stated that Istanbul giant had difficult time against Rizespor until scoreline got into 4:2 scoreline as it has played against opponent which until last 15 minutes has given everything for this game. This scoreline does prove meanwhile that Besiktas did come out to game foremost to win game and secondly to show an attacking game and to some extend that team doesnt have any internal issues. Without doubt stars of this historical win for Besiktas has been thanks for Guven Yalcin and Adem Ljajic getting in total of 5 at goal+pass statistics (2 goals, 3 assists) at single game and has shown a confident game. Only downside for Besiktas could be for to get win into confident manner until 72nd minute, as until Ljajic goal has kept Rizespor opportunity to get comeback during this game. Still, as been mentioned it was important for Besiktas to keep wanting to score goals during 90th minute and would get high motivation for last 7 games.

Rizespor has provided great performance and fighting spirit until 4:2 and was eager to get at least draw but after goal difference has raised to 3 goals it has lost focus and hence led for Besiktas to cruise goals and now would certainly aim to forget this scoreline which doesnt describe 2nd half of season performance of team.

Besiktas has got an incredible motivational boost until Basaksehirspor game and would at least prepare for game in high motivation and confidence until 13th April.

Basaksehirspor has got win with well organised tactical game rather than openning football.

Basaksehirspor has won another game for its road to league title as it has won Konyaspor with 2:0 scoreline even through it has provided an economical and in same time organised game which was mainly related to an age of players at squad.

As been mentioned at our blog yesterday, Basaksehirspor main focus is to end this season with league title and hence it might be mainly focussed into tactical performance rather than aiming to show eye-pleasing game as due of age players it could have negative effect. One of the reasons why mainly tactical performance could be enough at winning title could be related to the factor that this season quality of football game has been closed and many teams are mainly playing slow game. Usually this tactic might not provide high amount of wins, for instance at La Liga, Serie A and especially at Premier League but Basaksehirspor does have an important advantage of having players who can convert their chances especially like Edin Visca with high class shot. This tactic would also team to stay focussed for their task and not getting into much panic football as league would be continuing and hence needs to stay focus.

It needs to be stated that this tactic might not work against Besiktas who does provide much more attacking and openning game or at least aims to do so, but taking account that Basaksehirspor historically shows good performance against top teams still lead that game to be unpredictable.

Fenerbahce raised tempo but it still has same issues as it did before break.

With some fans and media pundits expecting for Fenerbahce to end season with possibility of 8 out of 8 wins following national team break, its performance and result against Ankaragucu has shown that team are in similar point as it was.

To be honest, it could be said that Fenerbahce to some extend did show improvement actually as it has provided much more attacking game compare to previous games especially at away. But lack of strong performance by some players at front didnt manage to convert high amount of the chances, even through it needs to be admitted that Ankaragucu goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has provided high level saves during 2nd half of the game and with being only 20 years old does look to be among future stars of Turkish football. Fenerbahce meanwhile has conceded once again from 1st attack of the opponent. Following general rule of if you not scoring their would score to you and also issues with defence with Fenerbahce during this season. This game in fact has shown all issues which are taking place with Fenerbahce during this season with performance of attackers, as defender has scored and conceding goal from 1st chance of opponent. Meanwhile, Mehmet Ekici which led to red card even through could be defended from not able to control nerves at the moment of action, still cant be defended as he needed to control his nerves.

Fenerbahce still provides worrying performance and could be relaxed with finding itself 5 point ahead of relegation zone, in same manner as Ankaragucu, but it would still enter to last upcoming games with that scare.
