What happened in Turkish football today? 11/01/2021


 

Fenerbahce got important win against Erzurumspor.

Fenerbahce got confident win against Erzurumspor as been expected with help of goals which came in the end of the 1st half and start of 2nd half and did get into same points with leaders Besiktas, prior to its main opponent derby week.

Even through Fenerbahce as been noted did get pretty confident result with 3:0 scoreline it needs to be noted it did have some trouble until first goal which did come right in the end of the 1st half from goal scored by Metin Hakan Yandas which provided without doubt lots of relexation. It was expected that due of poor conditions on the football field and Erzurumspor looking for point/s with aim to get out from last spot in the league, it would provide organised game while scoreline would be 0:0 but it didnt use its opportunities. Fenerbahce providing patient football did find goal to half time which provided them motivation and confidence which it did use in the start of 2nd half and with getting 3:0 scoreline it was clear it would win game which it with controlling for more than 30 minutes in the end of the game. With getting 3 wins back-to-back Fenerbahce gets with same points with Besiktas and gained strong confidence boost for sure.

Erzurumspor on their part did come with lack of motivation and confidence and even through it did try to show organised game, failing to get last touches and some forced injuries did make things much difficult for them with also starting to concede goals.

Fenerbahce did get very important win and with its main opponents playing against each other next week, it did gain confidence and motivation for next week games.

Besiktas got 1 point from expected tough game from Hatayspor.

Besiktas stopped its winning streak of 5 games without conceding goal during game against Hatayspor which ended with 2:2 scoreline, but it needs to be noted that this outcome has been expected due of performance of Hatayspor.

It needs to be noted that during recent weeks Hatayspor, with big thank to Boupendza, started providing much more attacking game and finding goals which is to some extend very similar style of game of Besiktas so it was expected to be tough game. Even through quality of game could be argued, as tends to be with most games in league, its been exciting game with high amount of opportunities from both sides as 4 goals did come out during that period with 2 of them being high level goals from Vincent Aboubakar and Boupendza. Since Hatayspor away game is being one of the most toughest as been observed from this season this 1 point could be seen as gain for them but it would become clear to them. Even through, it wasnt good news for them to get such result prior to Galatasaray derby game even through it does have opportunity to regain motivation from Turkish Cup midweek.

Besiktas didnt provide its best game but some tiredness from extensive weeks in league with showing attacking game did also affect this outcome.

Galatasaray mind will be to derby game during Turkish Cup.

Galatasaray would be resuming Turkish Cup campaign as it would be meeting with Yeni Malatyaspor at last 16 game with aiming to keep its high motivation prior to Besiktas derby game.

With derby game coming up, it would be interesting to see what kind of squad would side come out as it would be expected that Terim will start with some of the players who dont recieve much playing time and possibly some reserves, but could be providing some time from starting 11 or as substitutes of regulars to check on their condition before crucial game in league or to keep them on high form with good motivation and confidence. Meanwhile, with Galatasaray focussing into league more likely, this game could be tough one as Yeni Malatyaspor does provide recently strong confident game and will likely to be focussed to carry on like this in upcoming weeks. Hence, Yeni Malatyaspor could provide extra effort to get surprising result which Galatasaray needs to be aware if it wants to get to quarter-final.

Galatasaray hence would be giving their best but both mentally and tactically be focussed to derby game.
