What happened in Turkish football today? 22/12/2020




 

Galatasaray did get important win despite of Goztepe having high amount of chances.

Galatasaray has got win against Goztepe hence showing reaction following to last week loss to Fatih Karagumruk with 3:1 scoreline but it needs to be noted that its opponent did get high number of opportunities during game especially on 2nd half.

Without doubt, Galatasaray did start game at very high tempo with finding 2 goals in duration of 14 minutes hence showing its concentration to get simple outcome during this game however Goztepe did find goal with great touch from Soner Aydogdu which did lead side to get back into confidence back with getting control of the game with high opportunities which continued to come at high number with aiming to get equaliser. There were this image did show that Galatasaray did provide good attacking with some organised game but did have some issues at defence which does look to be an area which needs to be focussed and improved in upcoming weeks. Without doubt, Arda Turan who did join side to motivate players did that job in pretty strong manner with addition showing himself very good game with great goal. Without doubt its been important to get this outcome without Fatih Terim being on side.

Goztepe on their part did provide pretty strong confident game after 2:1 as it didnt start very well and did create some great opportunities but did lack last touch would provide at least draw but overall did provide good view for future games.

Galatasaray got important win with regaining motivation from last week and would look confidently for game against Trabzonspor, but main lesson should be learned with some mistakes at defence.  

Trabzonspor got win against Hatayspor with minumum scoreline.

Trabzonspor has got win during Super League 14th week game with minumum scoreline of 1:0 thanks to Vitor Hugo goal on 74th minute at the game where Hatayspor did provide good performance and did lose 1 point.

Even through it could be noted that Hatayspor did provide better game compare to Trabzonspor, it did achieve to become 1st side to beat its opponent in their ground during this season and to some extend possibly did get win against opponent which are also in good form and does provide good defensive game in similar manner as does their opponents. Even through winning goal did come from Vitor Hugo, it would been argued that player of the game has been its goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir who provided great saves during 2nd half showing great reflexive game as Hatayspor was providing more threat to them. Still, Trabzonspor does provide much focus into defensive game with getting wins with minumum scoreline which is without doubt is risky game as it would be ending game with 1 goal getting in. Meanwhile, with Hatayspor getting so much shots with Ugurcan Cakir high number of saves does provide that still defensive issues should be focussed on for sure.

Hatayspor did provide pretty strong game during 2nd half which did look like why its dominating at home ground without losing game at home, but did lack final touches and passing Ugurcan Cakir who showed game today.

Trabzonspor meanwhile did gain important confidence against Galatasaray but showing only defensive game might not be enough to stop their opponent next week.

Fenerbahce would be coming to very stressful game against Basaksehirspor.

Both Fenerbahce and Basaksehirspor would be coming out to the game during Super League 14th week which they would need to win to keep their chances for race for leadership as both sides did lose points in recent week.

Being one of the top sides in Turkey with high number of supporters, it needs to be noted that Fenerbahce would be coming out with much higher pressure to win game as their did lose last 2 games without providing very good game with most of the players looking to be unfocussed to the game and lack physically. In addition, as would be expected Fenerbahce head coach Erol Bulut does recieve high number of criticism both from sports media and also supporters with those bodies calling for side to terminate contract with him, so win against previous title holders without doubt would be reducing pressure towards him. Basaskehirspor on other part did have difficult fixture with perfoming both in the league and Champions League which did have its impact as it is currently 14 points behind league leaders. But now being focussed into domestic front and getting motivation from 7:0 win at Turkish Cup with being bye on 13th week, would lead them to be confidently focussed to this crucial game.

As been noted this game would be important for both sides, but Fenerbahce due of its status and recent status would be under bigger pressure for sure.
