What happened in Turkish football today? 27/12/2019


Besiktas ends 2019 with confident win.

Besiktas has completed 2019 with a win against Genclerbirligi during Super League 17th week with 4:1 scoreline, thanks to goals scored during 2nd half with great performance from Atiba Hutchinson.

It needs to be noted that Besiktas even through did look like to be side which was controlling ball during 1st half, it didnt create much chances and has played game which was suitable to Genclerbirligi. It always needs to be noted, that Genclerbirligi also got 2 red cards in 1st half and in fact with did find its goal when has been played with 10 men. Things did change dramatically during 2nd half with Atiba Hutchinson becoming main star of the game by long distance with providing 3 assists and scoring 1 goal and hence provided new year present to everyone involved with club with 3 points and provided some confidence prior to mid-season break with side would be preparing for 2nd half with much better mood taking account it has lost some points in previous games. It needs to be noted that Besiktas all players also raised its performance during 2nd half. It was important for them to turn around game since Genclerbirligi did start 2nd half in good mood and concentration despite being 9 men.

Genclerbirligi does need to praised to provide good performance for 2nd part of 1st half until it conceded 1st goal from Besiktas as it been shown strong concentration during game but did lose concentration its focus and motivation when started conceding goals.

Besiktas has ended its 1st half and 2019 with confident scoreline of 4:1 and with whole side would now look for 2020 with optimism for sure.

Trabzonspor expects to have comfortable game against Kayserispor

Trabzonspor would be completing 2019 with an away game against last-placed and team with big issues Kayserispor and hence would be coming with strong favourite to the game taking account that side is providing effective attacking game.

Kayserispor has recently ended contract with its head coach Bulent Uygun and in such short while didnt find replacement for him and couldnt prepare for this difficult game during this week, and even through football, especially Turkish Super League this season, its open to big surprises, it would be highly expected that Trabzonspor will get comfortable win. In fact, to all respect towards Kayserispor, it could be crucial step for Alexander Sorloth to make his position at most goalscorer race into getting into leadership and even make some goal difference. This would certainly also lead for team to get into mid-season break with good win and this would certainly affect to their training camp in break. Therefore, Trabzonspor does have strong opportunity to turn around its opponent weaknesses into personal strength while showing respect to them.

Trabzonspor is ending 1st half of the season against good opponent to provide them calmer mid-season break.

Galatasaray will aim to enter to break with win.

Without doubt, Galatasaray whose season so far is being fully dissapointing with poor results, would be aiming to enter to mid-season break with good performance and win against Antalyaspor but it wont be easy game.

Galatasaray so far being one of the most dissapoining, and with exclusion of very few games, it has shown among low quality games in this season there was also show indifference from players when losing and providing poor performance which does show that club have some issues mainly emotionally and mentally. It needs to be mentioned that Antalyaspor did improve with recent weeks especially when Stjepan Tomas has joined team. It is true that result wise it didnt always get outcome it seek for, but it did show much better performance. With Galatasaray being in such poor form, Antalyaspor players will not come out to game with too much scare and worry for this game for certain. Meanwhile, some Galatasaray could use this game as opportunity to prove its head coach Fatih Terim that their are crucial players and still aim to play important role for 2nd half of season.

Galatasaray does have some mental issues collectively, and win against Antalyaspor might raise their mood for break at least bit.
