What happened in Turkish football today? 18/08/2019


Kasimpasa has shown good organising game against Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor had started its Super League 2019-20 season campaign at away game against Kasimpasa which has likely ended up being as much tougher game as team has been anticipated as it has met with very organised opponent.

As was stated beforehand, Trabzonspor has been looking for new start of the season with high expectation as it has set high aims for this season and also due of good performance it has shown against Sparta Prague during Europa League qualifiers. However, it needs to be noted that apart of some parts of game during 1st half, Trabzonspor had trouble at getting tempo which it would have wished for, even through it could be stated that one of the main reasons has been good preparation of game by Kasimpasa which has led for a team to be highly prepared. One of the main positive aspects by  Trabzonspor has been goal scored by Alexander Sorloth which means carries on being key player of the team as he has maanged to score 3 goals in all of the 3 games he has played and hence making an important role for most goalscorer position. Trabzonspor also has looked among teams which are not entirely ready but in all fairness it did look one step ahead of other top teams.

Kasimpasa meanwhile did show some good performance during today's game providing good organised game and also that it has been ready for its opponent and didnt allow for Trabzonspor to create many chances as game has been developed, and also created good chances in 2nd half.

Even through Trabzonspor did show some good moments during 1st half it also looked like its not entirely ready and it need to show better performance against AEK Athens at Europa League play-off round.

Besiktas had lack of concentration against Sivasspor.

Besiktas has provided pretty poor and dissapointing start of its new season as it has lost to Sivasspor with scoreline of 3:0 and didnt mark promising start with its new head coach Abdullah Avci.

As been mentioned beforehand, it is true that Besiktas didnt come out to the game at very strong squad as it has high number of injuries especially of Burak Yilmaz but performance against Sivasspor has been pretty dissapointing. It was observed that apart of Adem Ljajic there was lack of concentration and fighting spirit among players as their had lack of speed which both could be related at lack of creating chances and also good conversion of Sivasspor during its attacks. Besiktas which has been looked to be not entirely ready for new season been unlucky to meet against Sivasspor which did provide a view of being team which is mainly ready and also highly motivated due of having good pre-season period. The main task of Abdullah Avci right now is to recognise issues which has been pleasant during Sivasspor and aim not to repeat them next weke against Konyaspor.

Besiktas did have poor start of the season without doubt and as team it needs to find ways how to change and improve its performance if it wants to have good performance this season.

Fenerbahce would be aiming for everyone to forget last season with good game against Gazisehir Gaziantep.

Fenerbahce after having very poor performance during last season, would be seeing its game against Gazisehir Gaziantep as new beginning of themselves as it aims to end season with league title.

With taking account that it would be playing its 1st of season and home and also stating numerous time during pre-season period that its aim is to make everyone forget last season poor performance, it would need to be noted that team would be aiming to provide high level performance against Gazisehir Gaziantep. Therefore, in normal circumstances it would be expected that team would be coming out with high concentration but it was also visible that despite of all words and some good transfers, it still has some issues as side which was visible during pre-season friendlies game therefore Fenerbahce can also join its Istanbul rivals to lose points at openning week even through their are low expectations from their opponents to provide good resistance to Istanbul side with all of their respect.

Fenerbahce would be aiming in opening week not only win game but do it with style and show to their fans and everyone at Turkish football community that it is ready to have new beginning at high note.
