What happened in Turkish football today? 22/11/2020


 

Trabzonspor got win with Abdullah Avci but didnt show great performance.

Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avci has won his 1st game as club's head coach with beating Erzurumspor with 1:0 scoreline thanks to goal from Caleb Ekuban but it is difficult to state that his side did provide very good performance.

It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor has been side which did side game in pretty good form with creating high amount of the chances and did found winning goal from Ekuban goal but their opponents did provide strong performance after that goal controlling whole game during 2nd half. It needs to be noted that this could be mainly for Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avci known focus towards into defending which could be difficult condition for side which not used to this new system and quite opposite did provide confidence towards Erzurumspor. Therefore, Trabzonspor still has issues with showing 90 minutes during this time only showing for 20 minutes but this could be due of lack of failure to understand style of game which been expected from Abdullah Avci and does need time. Therefore, for sure Trabzonspor should be seen itself to be very lucky and rather seeing this as good win need to identify mistakes it done and improve as side.

Erzurumspor since start of the season does have issues of converting chances as it done quite everything to find goal in duration of 2nd half but didnt either pass defence of Trabzonspor or converting opportunities. Still, this outcome would provide confidence for upcoming games.

It was important for sure Trabzonspor to get this outcome in this end of the game for 1st game for Abdullah Avci but gamewise it didnt show great performance with highly motivated opponent.

Besiktas did get important 3 points when taking account absences it had.

Besiktas it needs to be stated did provide one of the best performance during this season against Basaksehirspor at Super League 9th week game with finding 2 goals and dominating 1st half, but didnt show similar game in 2nd half with almost losing point in last 10 minutes.

Even through Besiktas did start game in very high note and did provide positive attacking game during 1st half despite of having some importances absences for various reasons with current virus outbreak being main reason, it did show very strong and convincing performance. Therefore, Besiktas still needs to be praised for such game against in-form side but when playing with extra men in last 20 minutes and conceding goals in last 10 minutes even through could be connected to situation it is at, is still unexpectable since among not being in great physical form it does show sign of lack of concentration. It needs to be noted that in overall, Besiktas didnt show great performance for 90 minutes in previous moments and this should be worked upon at in this week for sure. Basaksehirspor on other hand did show improvement of game as it was progressing but getting behind 3:0 against Besiktas without strong squad is not acceptable for title holders.

Even through it did almost lose 2 points in last 10 minutes, this win from Besiktas needs to be praised taking account difficulties which it had prior to game.

Fenerbahce got confidence back with Genclerbirligi win.

Fenerbahce which did enter to national team break with unexpected result from Konyaspor, did return to Super League with 5:1 scoreline against away game against Genclerbirligi, showing strength in attacking game.

Even through it could be argued that Fenerbahce did provide too much dominance with controlling ball, it still got 4 great goals and penalties, where Diego Perotti and Mert Hakan Yandas did provide great performance. Both players did start for 1st time during this season and hence sending strong message to coach Erol Bulut of their intentions to be regular starting 11 and very likely got that spot for Besiktas derby game. Without doubt, Fenerbahce attacking attitude and poor performance of Genclerbirligi would provide important motivation and confidence to the side for upcoming games which surely would have high level positive aspects but as been noted there are areas like in defence where side needs to work on to become ideal team.

Still, with losing to Konyaspor, it was important to show right reaction and they just did that in game against Genclerbirligi.
