What happened in Turkish football today? 26/02/2020


It is crucial for Sporting Lisbon to find early goal for historical comeback.

Basaksehirspor would be coming to 2nd leg game against Sporting Lisbon at Europa League 2nd round game from where it would be aiming to get back from 3:1 scoreline and aim minumum for 2:0 scoreline to get to last 16.

Even through Basaksehirspor didnt provide very good performance during 1st leg and did get scoreline of 3:1, Edin Visca penalty goal did provide an away and hence some hope to at get back during this tie. What would be important apart of scoring 2 goals here is do their best not to concede goal and spread motivation to the opponent as this would provide strong difficulty for Basaksehirspor. In fact, best way to do so and very likely what would be luck for Okan Buruk is to start game in risky controllable manner and look for early goal as in this situation it would provide extra motivation to look for 2nd goal while Sporting Lisbon, even through its unlucky due of their experience, to get into slight panic mode. It needs to be noted that quite reasonably noone would except after 1st leg to see team to get into last 16, but it is capable even through with difficulty to get back in this tie as long it starts game in right mode.

Therefore, Basaksehirspor needs to provide highly focussed game with strong self-belief to get historical win against Sporting.

Fenerbahce needs to focus into providing best performance and tactic during games.

It is reported that Fenerbahce head coach even through does admit that he played huge role for bad results, he would be staying until end of the season focussing into getting good result for last 11 games.

Without doubt, with only 4 weeks ago Fenerbahce has been among strongest contenters for league title but without winning during this period did provide their hopes further away even through mathematicaly their are in race. It is here for Ersun Yanal to go through his tactics and starting 11 selection among getting back psychologically into the field rather then issues outside of it. High level of complaints about refereeing and "operations" against club leads them to lose concentration for sure. Fenerbahce still has chance to turn around and even through title chances does look to be low it still can end season with European spot and Turkish Cup title but to achieve technical stuff and players need to focus into game. Taking account administrators would also like to keep Ersun Yanal until end of the season.

Therefore, Ersun Yanal needs to focus how it can win and forget about external issues which taking place within club.

Besiktas will not sign Karius during end of the season.

It became clear that Besiktas would not extend loan or signing of Loris Karius who is loaned from Liverpool in the end of the season due of his poor performance in club.

Even through it needs to be noted that Karius did occassionally provide some good performance and even played crucial role with some points, in general he didnt show very good performance and pushed team backward. There is possibility that he is still been affected from Champions League against Real Madrid 2 years ago and tend to have lose self belief even through its been long time from that. Besiktas quite rightly is showing unhappiness for him in this period and despite of goodwill considers to send him back to Liverpool who are in return dont consider to keep him. Meanwhile, there are reports that Besiktas are looking for replacements for him and likely during summer transfer window main area for Besiktas would be goalkeeper.

As been noted, Karius despite of some moments didnt provide very good performance at Besiktas despite getting numerous chances and hence would end loan deal with him.
