What happened in Turkish football today? 25/10/2020


 

Fenerbahce showed confident strong attacking game during 2nd half.

Fenerbahce continued its undefeated performance against one of its main rivals in this league but this season struggling with providing strong and confident attacking game during 2nd half with winning game 3:1 scoreline.

It should be noted that even through Fenerbahce did provide better start compare to Trabzonspor, it still wasnt in very strong and confident manner with providing pretty slow game and hence didnt provide high tempo game. With also some players being observed to be having lack of concentration during 1st half also without doubt let for Jose Sosa and Lemos pretending each other in fight for ball which led for Afebo to get goal position and to find goal. Despite of conceding at 23rd minute, Fenerbahce continued to show such game until half-time. But with providing pretty radical subsitution with Jose Sosa and Papiss Cisse prior to 2nd half has meant to add extra attacker which did provide crucial role with Fenerbahce providing more attacking game and finding 2 goals between 51st-54th and with continuing such game got full control of the game with dominating in front with preventing Trabzonspor to create some opportunities. Therefore, to some extend we did see ideal Fenerbahce during 2nd half with possibly Erol Bulut getting closer to attacking style game.

Trabzonspor on their part continue to provide performance which is very far from last season and despite of showing better game during 1st half, it could be noted that it looked like that due of poor game of Fenerbahce in that period. However, it could be noted that Trabzonspor does have some tactical and self-belief issues failing to get clear strong control of the game with having some issues with collective game. Trabzonspor in that sense needs to find ways to provide much more controllable game or otherwise it would be contuning to be losing points. One of the positive aspects has been for Afebo to get 2nd goal for self-confidence and confidence as it does look he would be taking most important role as attacker. Trabzonspor currently finds itself 11 points behind league leaders Alanyaspor only after 11 points and needs to get wins urgently.

Fenerbahce withotu doubt did show what it could be done when showing strong game with high tempo on 2nd half and surely provides high hopes for upcoming weeks.

Galatasaray got important win without showing great game.

Galatasaray has got very important win after beating Erzurumspor with 2:1 scoreline during Super League 6th week game despite of showing its not best football but did get opponent which were not at great form on day.

As been noted several times prior to games, with failing to win games for 3 weeks it was important for Galatasaray to win game in whatever cost, and it did look to some extend that players did come with that focus but still it did show pretty ineffective game with low tempo, with Radamel Falcao being one of the few players who did show good game especially with great winning goal on his style. Staying with Falcao it needs to be noted that he got his 1st red card in European career, after 2 yellow cards, with 2nd one being pretty questionable as his action didnt touch opponents face. Without doubt and sadly referee did provide poor performance both with this position and also prior to Galatasaray where didnt give foul for Ryan Babel so biggest loser been referee Arda Kardesler. In overall, Galatasaray got very important win which happened mainly due of not very good performance by their opponents but regained confidence.

With Galatasaray does look to be going through with some internal issues this win has been important for them and would have positive impact in upcoming weeks.

Besiktas needs to  win Denizlispor

Without doubt, Besiktas in similar manner as Galatasaray will be coming to Denizlispor game with only aim to get win as it only managed to win one game in whole season and would be meeting with another struggling side.

Due of international team break and also being bye for 5th week, Besiktas didnt play for 3 weeks which could be seen as negative for side which needs to be getting better and to some extend for such long break Erzurumspor has played cost. But in other side, this break did provide opportunity for Sergen Yalcin to make it clear for players his expectations for him and understand they roles. This would be good opportunity to see if Besiktas gained from this break after poor start to the season. With Denilzispor also struggling could provide Besiktas to get results which it want but it is expected that Denizlispor would be aiming to get surprising result against opponents.

Besiktas would be coming to game which it needs to win and therefore likely to respond in such manner during whole game.
