What happened in Turkish football today? 29/12/2019


Fenerbahce has got important win but didnt provide much effective game against Rizespor.

Fenerbahce has ended 2019 with important win against Rizespor during Super League 17th week with providing not very strong performance with lack of the chances for both sides and did been played in pretty slow tempo.

Fenerbahce without doubt did provide game with focus to win game but it needs to be noted that Rizespor in other side did provide slow and closed game so the result without doubt did come from differences between quality of players from Deniz Turuc from free-kick and long distance, surely one of the goals of the season from Jailson did lead for team to win. Still, Fenerbahce has provided ineffective performance during this season at away games with providing slow tempo game without much creativity. It is true that it was important for 3 points in away game, especially when it did get win during last 4 games but it needs to be aware that it needs to focus into improving this performance and provide strong game which it has showed during home games. Still, Fenerbahce is being 6 points from league leaders and being at title race.

Rizespor meanwhile even through did get good goal from corner which it has practiced in training session for this game, but in overall did provide organised game in general and let Fenerbahce to get ball while reducing tempo of the game.

With Fenerbahce entering to mid-season period, it would need to focus especially to improve its performance in away game for its league title aim, while Rizespor needs to provide much brave game.

Trabzonspor needs to improve its defence in break.

Trabzonspor has ended 2019 and also 1st half of this season at high note with beating last place Kayserispor with 6:2 scoreline despite of still continuing to concede goals at almost every game during this season.

Trabzonspor from start of the game has made it clear to their opponents who are having nightmare season that it wont be going easy on them with providing strong and confident game, going forward looking for chances and scoring at 7th minute thanks to league most goalscorer, who with last goal of the game, has found 12 goals. It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor especially at front has provided confident attacking game but key player has been Sorloth who also provided good assist to Daniel Sturridge. Despite of confident scoreline, with conceding 2 goals does make it clear that side carries on having issues at defence and would need to find solutions for it during mid-season training break. Still as head coach Unal Karaman he would be glad with how side has performed during this season and game.

Trabzonspor is showing good performance but team would need to improve its defence game to get league title in the end of the season.

Galatasaray ends 2019 at high note.

Galatasaray has provided its best performance during this season in its last game of 2019 with beating Antalyaspor with 5:0 scoreline with showing strong confident collective game.

Without doubt this game would been provided some hope for 2nd half of the season, with Fatih Terim possibly, without including new signing, has found best 11 squad as players did provide strong understanding between each other with Falcao and Taylan Antalyali. Stating that, it does raise questions if this performance has been only showing for 1 game especially taking account how poorly and ineffective did Antalyaspor performed on the night. Still, Galatasaray did provide poorer game performance against, to all respect, with teams which were in poorer condition so it is clear Galatasaray did provide improvement, but time would show if this is being one off. Taylan Antalyali very likely with this game did secure his place at starting 11 unless some unexpected turn of events would take place.

Galatasaray this win which was unexpected with recent performance of team would provide some optimism for 2nd half of season but again it needs to go through revision in break due of overall poor performance.
