Galatasaray has failed to get leadership prior to 4 weeks of the league.
Galatasaray has lost its golden opportunity to get into leadership as it has ended Super League 30th week game against Konyaspor with goalless draw without having any direct shots into goal.
Galatasaray had trouble at getting through Konyaspor defence game which is tactical being used by Aykut Kocaman due of lacking strong attackers at his squad and hence has focussed not to allow Galatasaray to create many chances. As in one side, this tactic has worked well for him it needs to be noted that on other hand Istanbul giant had trouble at showing good and attacking game with creative aspect available to it. It needs to be noted that Mbiaye Diagne has once again has shown very poor performance and has wasted a very good chance at 2nd half. Meanwhile, there has been high amount of criticism towards referee of the game Arda Kardesler but it needs to be noted that he did show reasonable good performance and it does look like Galatasaray sadly is creating new habit at blaming poor results into referee and this could provide some destruction to the team at the upcoming games.
Galatasaray meanwhile didnt provide promising image prior to very important derby game against Besiktas on 5th May but in same time it does provide very good performance at home so it would be exciting game for sure.
TFF needs to postpone Alanyaspor-Konyaspor game.
Disbelief and aftermath of death of Alanyaspor player Josef Sural carries on being felt heavily at Turkish football community today, especially taking account from club CEO Hasan Cavusoglu statements it could be also be prevented.
One of the main discussion which taking place is understandable consideration of Alanyaspor to ask TFF to postpone game as this death of course has provided negative affect to whole team as it was known that players and coaches had great connection with Sural even if he only joined team during mid-season transfer window. Meanwhile, Konyaspor has also stated that it would respect decision to postpone game as both sides are scheduled to meet on 6th May. It would be also expected that TFF could postpone game and show its humanity side especially taking account that both sides doesnt have upper or low at the league aims so it wont affect negatively if this game will not be played. As blog, we would expect for game to be postponed but decision will be TFF.
Alanyaspor as team does go through difficult time right now and its important for whole football community in country to show understanding and support for this.
Basaksehirspor feels pressure during title race.
Even through when looking at standings and despite of losing crucial points at the league,
Basaksehirspor still stays as main canditate for league title but as been stated their performance doesnt provide much hope for last games.
This blog has been stated for several months that team could have some difficulty during last weeks as it did in previous season. However, it needs to be stated that writer of this blog is actually surprised that condition which league has come out as Basaksehirspor 8 point advantage over Galatasaray only 3-4 weeks ago is big advantage. We did expect for Basaksehirspor to lose points towards end but it start losing them, and hence feeling pressure, too early. As been stated Basaksehirspor would still have strong chance for title if it has 5 point advantage when it comes to Galatasaray which still can happen if it wins this week and Galatasaray loses but also Besiktas coming up closer would provide now Basaksehirspor double pressure. What needs to be done, and this is only solution, is for Abdullah Avci not mainly into tactical changes, as regardless how boring it looked, has gave them points but lead team not to feel pressure and focus into league title.
Title is still at the hand of Basaksehirspor but it is important for side that while it start reaching to handlers of cup that it should hands should not shiver a lot, sort of speak, in last minutes of this title race.
