What happened in Turkish football today? 26/12/2020


 

Galatasaray got very important win against Trabzonspor.

Galatasaray has got 3 points during Super League 15th week game against Trabzonspor with getting win from having much more effective attacking players and quality compare to opponents as both sides did get similar amount of opportunities.

Even through both sides did provide pretty good attacking game, with Galatasaray as side being more focussed and designed to be offensive did provide important matter as their opponents which been stated many times at our blog is much more focussed into defensive side. This is taking account that Mbiaye Diagne been self-isolating while Radamel Falcao has been injured, it didnt come out with ideal attackers but still Arda Turan and Ogulcan Caglayan being attacking players did use their opportunity. Stating that even through side didnt concede goal against strong opponent, it did provide pretty high amount of opportunities to opponent which would be needed to be focussed on by the side for upcoming games as it could be having some trouble with more organised and focussed to attack sides which are present in this league. Still, this is being good win for Galatasaray taking account Fatih Terim wasnt available to ban and some absences.

It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor probably first time Abdullah Avci for first time has been focussed to be showing much more attacking game but with lack of training session with focussing into that area and squad did lack for getting important last touches even through Galatasaray has provided some focus. Quite naturally with Trabzonspor providing much more offensive focussed game, it did affect their performance on defence which did lead Galatasaray to get some crucial opportunities with finding 2 goals. This game needs to be focussed that side needs to be providing some more focus into attacking game and right now Trabzonspor is being 9 points behind Galatasaray, with Alanyaspor so its mathematical opportunities for title is getting further but it needs to be remembered that its long season, but this loss would damage to them.

Galatasaray did get very important against one of its crucial rivals and did gain leadership on the table at least for 21 hours as it would await result from Alanyaspor game.

Vincent Aboubakar will not play for 2 weeks due of his mother passing away

Besiktas player Vincent Aboubakar would not be playing for upcoming 2 games as his mother passed away in Nigeria where he would be travelling for attending funeral and other personnel factors until 4th January.

With our page sending to condolences to Aboubakar, when coming on field it could provide negative impact to side as Aboubakar did provide very effective performance in front with scoring goals and generally providing pressure. With his absence in upcoming games it should be noted therefore that during Kasimpasa game on 28th December, Besiktas would be needing to show much more effective game as there not being very effective attacking despite of very good crosses from Rachid Ghezzal. For sure, Besiktas could even struggle even more if Kasimpasa, which it likely to do would be putting bus into their own goal as Besiktas are struggling against closed defence, and Sergen Yalcin need to find solution for this.

With looking this absence on football field, once again some things are beyond football and we provide condolences to Aboubakar.

Cancelling cards of Rafael would have serious issue in future at similar cases

TFF has provided very interesting decision with cancelling yellow cards and red card of Basaksehirspor player Rafael hence providing understanding of mistaken cards to player but this could be problematic in future. 

Coming to this decision, it is clear that decision been right since its been visible that cards which been given by referee to Rafael where federation accepts its fault and likely have circumstances to referee. However, this is being first decision like that in history of TFF and could have some negative impact. As it is known, apart of some unusual situation such as Pierre Webo red card during PSG game, decision during games are final and even if mistakes are accepted it would be staying like this. Yellow and red cards to Rafael are wrong decisions but are not against decisions so in this stance this is wrong decision. Even more worrying this situation would be used in future by different clubs for and against its own interests and opponents. Worst situation here is when TFF would decline suggestion to cancel card, clubs would state: " But it was cancelled for Basaksehirspor after Fenerbahce game on December 2020". 

Therefore this decision has capacity to provide some issues, but TFF could safe itself if it would cancel this decision and bring back card of Rafael regardless if its fair or not.
