What happened in Turkish football today? 24/02/2020


Galatasaray wanted to win game and did everything to achieve it.

Galatasaray has got very important win against Fenerbahce both in sense of winning for first time in Kadikoy since 1999 and also carrying on its aim for league title with getting into same points both with Trabzonspor and Sivasspor getting to 45 points, with former having game in hand.

What is more important here is that Galatasaray has also provided most dominant performance at Kadikoy during this last 20 years and both mentally and physically wanted to win game and could even get more confident scoreline if Henry Oneykuru could have converted more chances. Without doubt with strong form and good performance of Galatasaray and poor form and bad performance did provide role in this result. It needs to be noted that this win would provide incredible motivation and confidence next to fact that it has won last 7 games which would provide additional bonus for upcoming 11 games and has put them among title contenders which does look like it would likely to compete with Trabzonspor until last game. Galatasaray as been noted currently enters to difficult period in fixture and it does look like those games would decide winner of the league without doubt.

Galatasaray without doubt did come out for game to win it and hence it did everything to provide this performance and got crucial 3 points against its arch rivals and now aim for title.

Honey moon for Ali Koc is over.

Our readers would remember that following Ankaragucu game last week, it has been stated that while their opponents did everything right, it has been quiet opposite for Fenerbahce. Similar thing could be said for Fenerbahce which led for them to lose against its historical rivals after 20 years and reducing chances for title.

Quite naturally ending its 20-year unbeaten run at home against Galatasaray with adding to this poor performance, has led for supporters to call for resignation both head coach Ersun Yanal and Ali Koc. It needs to be noted that those sounds from supporters did come out for while now, but it became loudest following bad result. In fact, people who followed blog last season would remember that its been stated that honey moon period for Ali Koc could be over soon and things would turn around.
Even through honey moon possibly too long then was expected, it is very likely to be ended yesterday. Following game, statements regarding of poor performance of referee Halil Umut Merel looked to be out of content and wasnt accepted from team supporters even. Fenerbahce needs some drastic changes or current technical and administrative loses its authority, including from own fans.

Time would show what actions would be taken internally at club but their needs to be taken soon.

Yeni Malatyaspor administration provides trust to Kemal Ozdes.

Yeni Malatyaspor following loss to Antalyaspor, opponent which played for 70 minutes with 10 men, has led for its head coach Kemal Ozdes to call for resignation but administrative part didnt seem to be accepted.

It needs to be noted here that since Kemal Ozdes has been appointed Yeni Malatyaspor didnt win game and does provide some poor performance, with possible exception from Galatasaray game last week where it did provide some positive performance. This without doubt, has led for Ozdes to call for resignation but CEO Ali Ravci didnt expect it with showing trust but more interesting did state that issue lies somewhere else. It does look that this reference could be referred to some players who are not showing good performance and does provide image that team is at crises right now. It does look like administration would make some actions to this with time showing what kind of them would be done.

Yeni Malatyaspor coach would stay in his position but some players could get hence some actions towards them in upcoming days.
