What happened in Turkish football today? 20/10/2020


 

Basaksehirspor did provide some positive view despite of scoreline.

Basaksehirspor debut at Champions League scorewise has not been as it would be expected as it lost game with conceding 2 goals from Angelo between 16th and 20th minutes but it could be stated that it did get into some opportunities during game which could be seen as positive aspect.

When taking account into quality of Basaksehirspor as side, how it did perform so far at Super League so far and comparing with RB Leipzig, it could be noted that side did overpass its expected performance especially during 2nd half. It should be noted in al fairness that this performance has been due of RB Leipzig providing more controllable game and even when Basaksehirspor looked to be showing better performance it did look like German side has been into control of the game. Still, it was crucial to see for Basaksehirspor despite of scoreline to stay focussed into game and aiming to create some opportunities and possibly getting at least one goal and hence even if it fails to win games in this group, it did provide view that it could provide some good game for rest of the group and will be side to provide some positive performance and aim to show its game regardless who would be opponent. Basaksehirspor hence in all fairness did provide some positive aspects but level between sides has been clear at the end of the day.

RB Leipzig on they part didnt provide its best game possibly and didnt provide much pressure to opponent but it did find goals back-to-back with Angelo hence showing role of experience in top position and did get crucial 3 points in such difficult group.

Therefore, some positive notes could be taken from Basaksehirspor but with lack of experienced players it would be even hard for them to fight for Europa League but it did look like it would be aiming to show good football regardless of opponents. 

Galatasaray continues decline with its performance.

Galatasaray continues showing decline with its performance as it lost to league leaders Alanyaspor with 2:1 scoreline without getting upper hand of game even before red card of Etebo and provides some worrying image.

One of the most things which been observed from Galatasaray with its current decline without doubt has been its tempo as it started having issues with creating opportunities and creating opportunities in the front. This without doubt has become even more pleasant with side like Alanyaspor who even through did focus more into defensive game probably due of playing one of the top sides but still provided much more organised game. Coming to Etebo, 2nd yellow card which been moved to red card wasnt acceptable as player who has yellow card needs to be extra careful and thats rushing foul will not be acceptable. Reaction to this red card meanwhile from other players were not right one, as rather then providing extra level performance it looked like side were playing to get draw which led for Alanyaspor to get winning goal in the end of the game.

Galatasaray hence continues showing pretty dissapointing game which without doubt led them to lose 3 points and get behind 6 point behind Alanyaspor.

4 Ankaragucu player and technical staff member got Covid19.

As number of Covid 19 daily patients is being rising currently, we are so seeing some unwanted news among Turkish clubs with Ankaragucu becoming latest side to be affected with 4 players getting virus and 1 technical staff member.

With game against Hatayspor during this week being postponed against Hatayspor due of opponent on-going high number of cases this could be seen as good with giving those players to recover. With as usual names of infected players not being announced it is unclear if those player could have negative impact to side prior to game. This rise of cases among football clubs should be also reminder as blog stated for players to be more careful in this period with clubs also providing all it can for health safety.

We wish fast recovery for those players and staff members with going through this unwanted virus without much consequences to health
