What happened in Turkish football today? 30/12/2019


Fenerbahce needs to perform away game performance even if it won this time.

Fenerbahce has managed to beat Rizespor with 2:1 scoreline during Super League 17th week game which has been also last official game of 2019 and would be entering to mid-season with 6 points behind leaders Sivasspor.

It needs to be noted that even through Fenerbahce did get very important win for them with keeping them at title race, it didnt provide good performance which was visible during away games during this season so far. Without doubt Jailson goal at 70th minute, which more or less what team needed looking at how has been developing did save them 2 points and look at 2nd half of the season. In fact, our blog during those games did state several times that during closed defence one of the ways is to provide creative kind of game and this brave shot is one ways to solve this issue. Despite of that, its hard to state in overall Fenerbahce didnt provide too much creative game and even through it did control ball for whole game, it was tactic for Rizespor to let Fenerbahce have ball and not go forward, which it did succeed despite of loss. Fenerbahce needs to solve its away game issue during mid-season break if it wants to fight for league title until end.

Fenerbahce did get important win but their are areas which it needs to improve gamewise for 2nd half of season.

Trabzonspor head coach Unal Karaman has left side due of misunderstanding.

One of the most unexpected news and shocking development since yesterday evening without doubt has been news that Trabzonspor head coach decided to live club following disagreements with club administrators.

Despite of Trabzonspor entering to mid-season break with 5 points behind league leaders Sivasspor, it did recieve some of the criticism such as not being able to keep its winning scoreline until end of the game and also to much defensive performance during 2nd half of games. Trabzonspor CEO Ahmet Agaoglu in announcement, stated that he noted beforehand that he is willing to take all responsibility for such poor performance of the team but it does look that Karaman did take this statement as direct criticism to himself, and with also events happening inside club has led him for resignation. It does look that this could be seen in way as "if you dont want me, I will not be staying". It needs to be noted that even through club didnt show perfect game for sure, with injuries and some other issues club is right now it did get very good performance with such circumstance, and there is big question if other coach who would take place of Karaman would be able to fill his space.

Unal Karaman did respectful things during his stay at club and there are questions if someone would be able to repeat those results as coach.

Kayserispor has appointed Robert Prosinecki as club's head coach.

Kayserispor has appointed Robert Prosinecki as club's head coach until end of the season, as he would be returning to club where he left some mark 6 years ago.

Without doubt Robert Prosinecki, would be coming to club which does have some issues not only inside field, as it is currently being last place and not providing promising football, but also internal due of financial condition it is right now and hence issues for paying some salaries to people involved with team. With all this factor, Prosinecki needs to make strong competitive team for this league prior to restart of the season. He can achieve that and keep side at top league in the end of the season, but it wont be easy task for him for sure. Other note, is that Kayserispor did sack 3 head coaches in such short notice and does need to provide some patience with Prosinecki even if results would not come in the way as been stated is not easy task.

Robert Prosinecki would have difficult task to make side competitive strong but he and club need to believe that it can happen.
