What happened in Turkish football today? 16/12/2020



 Fenerbahce provided pretty slow game despite of winning

Fenerbahce did provide pretty low tempo performance during Turkish Cup 5th round game against Karacebey Belediyespor with winning game thanks to the own goal from Ozcan on 11th minute, as Fenerbahce did play with 10 men for almost one hour.

Even through it could be noted that tempo of the game been reduced for getting with 10 men as Altay Bayindir did get really needless red card with getting ahead of the position from outside of penalty area with hitting ball to hand. It needs to be noted that such action has been totally unneccesarily as position has been into control of defenders, this area which is being done pretty frequently by Bayindir pretty frequently, possibly using tactic which been used by Volkan Demirel who tend to come out of the field lots of times, area which Bayindir needs to focus on. However, it needs to be noted that with difference between both sides, as Karacebey Belediyespor, are two divisions below them it didnt need for Fenerbahce to reduce tempo that high and performance of opponent, in all respect, has been suitable to provide much more attacking game despite of having one player less on field and this could be seen as general issue of raising tempo of the game.

Karacebey Belediyespor on their part did provide high focus game with aiming to preventing Fenerbahce to get full control but didnt provide must threat in attack which could be seen due of different of threat and side could be seen as good experience with its performance.

Fenerbahce hence as been noted didnt provide too much effective game during this game despite of winning game with 10-on-11 and didnt provide too much threat and attacks as game progressed.

Trabzonspor didnt want game as much as Adana Demirspor.

Turkish Cup holders Trabzonspor has been surprisingly been relegated from competition from its 1st game during 5th round with losing to Adana Demirspor at penalties with 4:3 scoreline after chess game which ended with 2:2 scoreline.

Trabzonspor does continue pretty ineffective game since Abdullah Avci been appointed to the position, with from beginning his attacks being pretty ineffective but some things been managed at defence but we are seeing some decline with his defence performance which is even worrying since coach does provide main focus into defensive game with tempo being raised on 2nd half, as 1st half been played on slow tempo, Adana Demirspor has been showing much more attacking game in 2nd half with getting ahead while Hugo did find equaliser keeping side opportunities alive during game. In fact, Trabzonspor could have won game just before extra time as it did get penalty kick from Baker who didnt manage to pass its goalkeeper, which been sign for penalty shoot-out as side didnt start it pretty well without able to convert first two penalties. Its been visible with such outcomes that Trabzonspor does have issues with side which are on form, as opponents does show good game on lower league. It does look like many things needs to be done for this team to show last season performance.

Adana Demirspor which did show much more cautious game during 1st half, needs to be praised with its how it showed response on 2nd half and been side which been closer for win both mentally and performance with staying focus and using upper hand through penalty shootout making historical win for them.

Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avci does fail to get maximum level from his side and would need to focus right now how to solve this issues in all fields or he would lose game more.

Without showing strong game did get to last 16 of Turkish Cup.

Galatasaray has got its ticket to the last 16 stage of the Turkish Cup with beating minumum scoreline of 1:0 against Darica Genclerbirligi which led for some supporters and head coach with minumum scoreline.

Even through Galatasaray did get win with minumum scoreline which did come from penalty goal from Younes Belhanda in the end of the 1st half, there were some reasons for such outcome. Foremost, with game to be played with some players who are not at starting 11 it also included players who recovered from Covid19 and didnt have training session which did affect to slow and more or less ineffective performance of the side which without doubt did play most crucial outcome for such game. Another reason, even through much more minor, could be due of opponent to be 2 divisions below, and to all respect to the Darica Genclerbirligi,players didnt provide full focus to the game. Meanwhile, this game did raise questions if players who did play look to be ready to be at starting 11 during game against Fatih Karagumruk at the league.

Galatasaray didnt provide great but in here its most important to get and get to next stage which it managed to do so.
