What happened in Turkish football today? 15/02/2020


Ankaragucu has shown strong organised and focussed game. Characters which Fenerbahce didnt have.

Ankaragucu did come out with strong effective organisational plan how to get good result against Fenerbahce with players staying highly focussing into plan from start to an end  during the game. Fenerbahce did quite opposite and this unseriousness and lack of attention has led them to lose game with 2:1 with reducing chances for title.

Our blog during this recent weeks, with historical league having 7 clubs being inside title race, mentioned that it is been important that no team can lose any points if those clubs want to get title with sides being at bottom, with this might not be enough. Now, without doubt when this 7 clubs play each other their would be losses from one or even 2 sides losing points, but when their play against outside of 7 clubs could really provide chances title into huge difficulty. It needs to be noted that for people who didnt view game and realising Fenerbahce had 70%+ possession wouldnt explain how game been played at all. It looked like both with and without ball Fenerbahce didnt do any organising game and even through it did create some chances. When viewing game it was visible what Ankaragucu aimed to achieve even without ball or when it did make mistakes while Fenerbahce not any moment gave any idea of organisation. Sadly, for Fenerbahce, there is hardly any possitive points could be taken from game reminding its performance last season. If we do force, to get some positive outcome is Fenerbahce did get wakeup call prior to Galatasaray and rest of the season.

As been noted, if Fenerbahce following game would have only negative comments, Ankaragucu  has been done and did provide its best performance it could do with its capacity providing strong organisation, working together to prevent Fenerbahce. In fact, if their opponents did provide much better game, it would have difficult game. Meanwhile, Soba Lobjanidze, if continues similar game rest season, could singularly keep side in the league.

Fenerbahce didnt do anything to get win today and after finding excuses from outside of field for last 2 weeks, it needs to be focus what is going wrong or it would not end league without title but outside of title race and getting European spot in the end of the season.

Basaksehirspor has got crucial win for league title aims.

Basaksehirspor has got an important win for league title race as it has won one of its direct opponent
Besiktas with 1:0 scoreline even their didnt show strong performance but did provide some good defensive game and didnt raise tempo of the game.

Following game, Basaksehirspor head coach has stated that he was unhappy how his side has performed during game stating that their didnt show strong confident performance and didnt raise tempo in the way he would be wishing for but this in fact did provide reason for good outcome as Besiktas would have created more dangerous chances which without doubt could been turning point. Stating that it needs to be noted that Basaksehirspor player Mert Gunok has provided very good performance at goal and with some crucial saves has become main reason for Besiktas not to win game. Its been noted that this game would become main reference point for Sergen Yalcin and its chances for league title and it being like that showing that its not ready to show this level and looks to be main outsider for league title from current contenders.

This game for sure has been main test for Besiktas and their didnt get through it and would now need to get lessons prior to tough game against Trabzonspor next week.

Trabzonspor are favourites but Sivasspor might give their all to such crucial game

Without doubt main game not only for this week but for whole season would be played between Trabzonspor and Sivasspor as winner of this game, even through its been too early to state, could win title in the end of the season.

It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor does come out as strong favourite for the game due of recent performance of two sides as Trabzonspor does get impressive wins so far in 2020 while Sivasspor despite of winning Besiktas is struggling during this period not winning during last 3 games and been relegated from Turkish Cup. In fact, Sivasspor needs to get more into mood for league title aims as their opponents is at confidence and motivation. Therefore if both clubs provide performance as their did during recent games Trabzonspor could win with comfortable result while if Sivasspor does provide full attention it could become tight game with also win from them could mean that their would get once again strong confidence for rest of the game. Winner would also end week as leaders of the week which hence would provide extra pressure but same time motivation for game.

Trabzonspor are coming as favourites but if Sivasspor gives whole attention to game their can get good outcome from such crucial for both sides.
