What happened in Turkish football today? 24/01/2021


 

Besiktas got comeback against Goztepe despite of tiredness. 

Besiktas has got win against Goztepe with 2:1 scoreline finishing as league leaders 1st half of the season as it shown comeback with two goals during 2nd half against opponent which showed good resistance.

With very tight scheduling of games which league has right now with how sides are showing high level game in regular basis quite natural it would provide tiredness to players which become pretty obvious with Besiktas as it physically had issue to show high level game with not getting tempo which it shown in recent weeks with very limited opportunity. With Goztepe looking physically in better condition it did get important goal towards end of 1st half. However, despite of tiredness which was clear with Besiktas it still was detirmed to turn around game and with number of substitutes 1st goal did come with Adem Ljajic which with this goal would get morale after not very good with winning goal coming with Vincent Aboubakar. Besiktas did get win with getting focus into keeping it leadership in the league and motivation.In addition, tiredness of Goztepe towards led for them to get this crucial win and comeback as difficult schedule for all sides would be continued.

Goztepe needs to be noted did provide pretty good strong performance against Besiktas with controlling game especially during 1st half but signs of tiredness did come as game progressed and couldnt spot opponent which showed better game towards end.

Besiktas did end 1st half of season as leaders and in general does provide pretty strong confident performance with side having high morale right now.

Galatasaray did get important 3 points in pretty tough game.

Galatasaray has won tough game against Yeni Malatyaspor thanks to 88th minute goal from Ryan Babel at the game where it was struggling both against football field and strong defence performance of opponent.

Galatasaray which for most of the game from recent weeks didnt manage to show its attacking high tempo of the game since football field at Malatya has been in very poor condition and prevented without doubt for both sides to show positive style game. Hence, Galatasaray which even through did look better side for most amount of game, apart of one section in 2nd half, still didnt get its own dominance of game in attacks focusing into distance shooting to hope for mistakes and in fact turn disadvantage ints own hand due of balls being able to boune. In fact, goal did come on this condition as it has shot from Ryan Babel with gaining certainly 3 points in the game which it did look like it would be losing 2 points with Galatasaray once again keeping themselves for league leadership spot in the end of the 1st half of the season. Bad news for Galatasaray been injury of Sofiane Feghouli who would be missing 2-3 weeks in period where Galatasaray will be playing important games.

Yeni Malatyaspor been focussed into defence game looking for possibly Galatasaray to make some mistakes which in fact it did get in 2nd half but it could be admitted that it didnt provide enough pressure to opponents. 

Galatasaray without doubt did get 3 points in such difficult condition game and hence would see this as +3 points for its title race without doubt in the end.

Trabzonspor are showing strong improvement by each week and raises tempo.

Trabzonspor continues showing improvement with its performance on weekly basis with getting win against Genclerbirligi with 2:1 where apart end of the game did provide strong attacking performance.

Without doubt Genclerbirligi is continuing to get closer into ideal collective game as it head coach Abdullah Avci only lost where it did provide poorest game with him with Galatasaray. Trabzonspor most importantly start going into forward area in recent weeks with getting faster tempo into attacks creating high number of opportunities with scoring more than 1 goal with players looking to be enjoying playing game more. However, it should be noted that Trabzonspor would have very big test in upcoming week where it would be meeting with Basaksehirspor at Super Cup on 27th January and against leaders Besiktas on 31st January. Only issue which could be noted from Trabzonspor as downside as to show some relaxation after 2:0 with even being possibility it could be losing 1 point with last minute good attack from Genclerbirligi.

Still, Trabzonspor are showing good improvement by each week with getting into strong tempo game and also getting closer to leadership of the table with such performance.
