What happened in Turkish football today? 18/05/2019


Trabzonspor keeps arrive its chances for direct Europa League entry as it has won its direct opponent for this aim.

Prior to Super League penultimate week game between Trabzonspor and Besiktas, our blog has stated that team which would be able to concentrate much more into game would be favourite to win game, and has stated that with Trabzonspor possibility of ending at 3rd place has been directly related to result this game it would be more into game.

Apart of showing much more concentration to the game compare to Besiktas, it was visible that mentally team did come out for a win and has set an eye for 3rd spot as it has started game with strong attacking game and controlling game despite of not finding goal on 1st half. To some extend, it could be argued that Trabzonspor did show perfect game especially at 1st half but with control of the ball and organisation it was clear that Trabzonspor mind has been into game as it was looking for high number of the chances and hence goals during game. With taking account that Trabzonspor did have some down performances during this season, it still deserves to finish season at high note and with securing Europa League spot it would quite understandably aiming for 3rd spot for direct entry of the Europa League. This willingness of game which has been shown by Besiktas during today's game has been present also during most part of the season and has aimed always to show high level performance with some of its foreign players and also its youth players.

Meanwhile, Besiktas mind has been more into tomorrow game between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor or even more precisely it has accepted that it has lost some opportunity to end season not only with league title but also runners-up which would mean qualifiers for Champions League. Besiktas as been mentioned has been very far from its high performance which it was seen from team during this season and has allowed in beginning for Trabzonspor to control ball and has only shown some attacking football during 2nd half of the game after conceding goals as it looked like it was showing some reaction at least to end season at 3rd place. In all fairness, after Besiktas has lost to Galatasaray and hence losing its chances to control its faith for league title, and for team whose main aim is to win league title has affected to physically and morally to game. This blog and also some pundits at Turkish football media did mention that its crucial for Besiktas to keep its belief as it has mathematical chances, but it needs to be admitted that its hard to achieve that. Right now, Besiktas would stay focus at Rizespor game which it needs to win to end league at 3rd spot.

Trabzonspor without doubt has wanted game much more than Besiktas and it was clear during the game and right now it would aim to win Kasimpasa and wait for Trabzonspor to lose game.

Its "winner takes all" but Galatasaray has lots of advantages compare to Basaksehirspor.

Without doubt, whole Turkish football community is right now focussed to the "winner takes it all" game between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor as with 1 week left until end of the season, winner of this game would win 2018-19 Super League season.

Galatasaray without doubt does come out as favourites for the game as it has many aspects which to get such an important win, which are much more experience to play games in this circumstances, playing at home until very strong support from own fans, and also having less pressure as compare to opponents even draw would help Galatasaray to come as strong favourites for last week game. With also winning Turkish Cup on midday against Akhisarspor did raise high motivation of the Galatasaray and all this mental, physical and motivational aspects does provie favourite. Another aspect which needs to be also remembered is that Galatasaray has been one which has closed 8 point difference against Basaksehirspor which does show that both at momentum and also form of the Galatasaray it would be coming out as strong favourite. Without doubt the game is being final and it is hard to state favourite into this conditions, but when you taking account as been mentioned above physological factors among experience, Galatasaray are favourites.

What is important for Galatasaray is to use all this advantages to its own hand and hence it would be able to show controllable game against Basaksehirspor in such crucial game.

Basaksehirspor needs to have different plans for Galatasaray game if it wants to win them.

In all fairness, and also questions about source of finances of Basaksehirspor which without doubt would make many people unsatisfied, it needs to be admitted that Basaksehirspor only being win away against Galatasaray would bring league title is big advantage.

Without doubt with "winner takes it all" game would provide high amount of pressure towards both games and this factor is probably main downside of Basaksehirspor as it has never, even when it was close for league title during last 2 seasons, didnt come out to this kind of games and hence it needs to be able to fill its stay focus. With playing also at the stadium where 100% supporters would be Galatasaray fans, it would be pretty hard to play as opponent is known to provide strong football at the time when it matters while Basaksehirspor losing 8 points main reason this blog has identified for weeks is lack to show right reaction and solutions when thinks not going well. With such crucial game taking place tomorrow, Basaksehirspor very likely would need to make some changes of original plan by Abdullah Avci during game but her e is point where Avci has failed to do so at the games which it has lost during that period.

Basaksehirspor has capacity to make surprising result but it needs to do right reaction and if needed provide some changes in its plan of game during game and if it manages solve those issues than it would have chance.
