What happened in Turkish football today? 26/01/2020


Coachless Besiktas has lost to highly motivated Goztepe.

With Goztepe having its 1st game at its new constructed stadium provided them strong additional motivating during Super League 19th week game against coachless Besiktas with 2:1 scoreline with also providing high attacking game.

Without doubt issues which Besiktas is going through right now with sacking its coach Abdullah Avci on 24th January and Goztepe playing its 1st game in its new stadium with very strong supporters providing motivation did leave direct impact to storyline of this game. It was expected for Besiktas to have very difficult game since its does showed poor performances since start of 2020 and with Avci being sacked would also meant that team couldnt provide high level preparation. With also possibility that Sivasspor could win against Rizespor on 27th January, Besiktas could end this week with 13 points behind them which would reduce their chances for league title even more. Besiktas in all fairness, did aim to show good game from players but with circumstances which game being played it needs to be admitted that Besiktas did have low chances to get good result.

Goztepe on their own part as been mentioned did have extra motivation with playing 1st game at new stadium which in addition did led to strong support from fans. With Goztepe also showing good performances in recent week led the to get deserved win.

Besiktas is seriously at very difficult condition and whoever would become coach for them next week would have difficult task to motivate players as it getting further from top place.

Galatasaray carries on improving with their performance at field

Galatasaray carries on getting good result following 2:0 win during Super League 19th week game against Konyaspor with providing much more organised performance compare to 1st half of the season.

It could be argued that Konyaspor is not being strong opponent, in all respect to them, for Galatasaray part at title race and also opponent specifically showing poor performance could be argued if this game could not be seen as good reference. But it needs to be noted that Galatasaray regardless of opponent is showing much better performance on the field thanks to new signings, Falcao and Akbaba also recovering from chances. In similar manner, we are seeing players who start creating chances with faster tempo compare to 1st half. All of this factors without doubt did provide for team improvement and started showing much more pace. Still, as been noted on previous weeks Galatasaray still does look to be side which needs to improve as it does play with weaker side, which does provide team to get into motivation as it would be playing against Kayserispor during next week. Another positive not for Emre Akbaba and Radamel Falcao tend to show great partnership at attack.

Konyaspor meanwhile did aim to provide once again its defensive performance against Galatasaray, but it needed to be noted that it didnt provide that in great manner as all conceded goals did come from defense mistake. Side does need to aim to show more brave game if it wants to stay in league.
Galatasaray did get win from opponent which are not in great good form but most important aspect for side is been for them to improve way their performing on the field with some changes at squad.

Fenerbahce has shown its best game against Basaksehirspor.

Without doubt, Fenerbahce did provide one of its best performances during this season with showing tempo and control of the game without allowing Basaksehirspor to do anything during Super League 19th week game.

Fenerbahce did come out with high focus to show very attacking game not allowing their opponents to get into game physically and mentally with having high amount of chances during 1st half and didnt allow Basaksehirspor to get out from its half of field, forget about creating chances. With overexeration Fenerbahce did show performance of team which is fighting for league title and send strong message to sides at title race, especially to leaders Sivasspor and also Trabzonspor with who it would be meeting next week. Here is question if Fenerbahce would be able to show such high level performance until end of the season or would it happen occassionally, still high level performance from Fenerbahce would provide strong motivation and confidence for upcoming games especially to Trabzonspor. It needs to also add Max Kruse did show great performance and this would be extra bonus for title race to side.

Fenerbahce showed very good performance against Basaksehirspor and did show what is capable of when showing its best football.
