What happened in Turkish football today? 15/12/2019


Leaders of the league has got well-deserved win against Fenerbahce.

Sivasspor has got without any doubt very important win during Super League 15th week game against Fenerbahce with 3:1 scoreline with providing much more organised and focussed gamecompare to their opponents.

One of the main reasons for Fenerbahce during very important game for them for leadership race has been for lacking to get control of the game, including even after its scored goal while their opponent both with tempo and creating opportunities has provided much more organised game. Even through it did look when it didnt have ball that it was impatient to get win, when it had ball in its feet it did lack speed and creativity. It needs to be especially noted that Max Kruse did look in poor performance and couldnt convert two chances which he has been close to score and also with giving poor passing choice. This loss meanwhile means that Fenerbahce is being 8 points behind Sivasspor and would be coming to Besiktas game for next week where it would need to improve this performance for sure. Therefore, Fenerbahce didnt do many things to win this game even after 2:1.

Sivasspor as been mentioned did provide much more organised performance compare to their opponents, both in attack and defence and despite of some minor errors has provided whole control of the game getting deserved win and continuing its leadership in the league.

Fenerbahce as been noted founds itself 8 points behind Sivasspor but most important it did provide very poor performance against them and that would be factor to think about for Ersun Yanal for next week.

Yeni Malatyaspor has shown effective tactical game against Besiktas

Besiktas did get unexpected loss towards Yeni Malatyaspor during Super League 15th week which has managed to find 2 goals after 86th minute and for most amount of time did provide confident organised defensive game against strong opponent.

Besiktas did get to the game into the right focus towards game aiming to control game but didnt manage to get through Yeni Malatyaspor which did provide strong confident defensive game without doubt and did provide logical away performance when playing against strong opponents. Taking account that Besiktas does have issues at providing good attacking game against closed defenders. It has been visible still that Yeni Malatyaspor did their homework better, since Besiktas could be prepared for this game to be played in such manner and coach Abdullah Avci could prepared for this game but despite of that he aimed to provide its usual performance which didnt turn around. This game therefore it needs to be admitted needs to be sorted by Besiktas and other clubs with finding solutions against closed defenders which could be crucial for title race.

Yeni Malatyaspor did provide classical style of mediocre side against Besiktas and this time it has worked as side has converted chances it got towards end of the game and got deserved 3 points.

Besiktas did provide right focus and did aim to get chances but lack of providing creative game has prevented them to get 7th win back-to-back and get morale for Fenerbahce derby game next week.

Galatasaray players doesnt seem to be mentally focussed into games.

With Galatasaray leading against Ankaragucu with 2:0 scoreline during 87th minute and having an extra man during Super League 15th week game and going for important win for them , it has surprisingly conceded 2 goals back-to-back and lost 2 points against last placed side at the league.

This outcome and seriousness which players shown especially during last 5 minutes does show whole attitude of whole team during this season and does make it clear that it does look that among issues at field, it has some problems also internally for sure. Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim does look to be losing control of the team at the field, and as been noted on our entry yesterday taking Steven Nzonzi from squad didnt provide enough pressure for rest of the players. Galatasaray players for some reason does have an issue to provide fighting spirit for this team which it does need to get good scoreline. Meanwhile, Ankaragucu does need to be praised as it didnt give up while losing 2:0 and having one less men at the field with providing strong fighting spirit and turning around game despite of all issues. Ankaragucu players for sure during game mentally did provide performance which during whole season Galatasaray supporters are waiting during this season for sure. Right now Galatasaray needs to be aiming to get best results during next 2 games until midseason and do some changes in this break.

Galatasaray has some issues as team whole and it does look it would be needing some important changes in upcoming weeks especially when mid-season transfer window will open.
