What happened in Turkish football today? 26/01/2021



 Fenerbahce did show good game against Kayserispor.

Fenerbahce has provided its most organised and strong performance during Super League 21st week game against struggling in table Kayserispor but in same time in recent good form showing right tempo and winning game with 3:0 scoreline.

It does look like signing of Mesut Ozil and him viewing game on stands did provide motivation to rest of the side with focusing into providing strong concentrated but in same time attacking performance. It could be argued that Kayserispor didnt provide much resistance to Fenerbahce but its been visible that with how opponents played, Fenerbahce did manage to show strong confident performance as game been progressing and hence side provided right focus into game. One of the main players in the game been Atilla Szalai who did provide strong game at defence with high focus and understanding without providing any mistakes in whole game, while Pelkas at least Mesut Ozil would come into regular play would be key player for this side.

Fenerbahce did provide strong confident performance and would be expected to continue provide pressure to leaders Besiktas in upcoming weeks. 

Basaksehirspor would need to give full focus to Trabzonspor game.

Turkish Super Cup which due of Covid19 circumstances would be played in more unusual date of January, as it is used to be taking place prior to start of new season would be taking place with last season surprising Super League  winners Basaksehirspor and Turkish Cup winners Trabzonspor.

Basaksehirspor even through did show some good performance both in league and Champions League this season, in overall is having very dissapointing season with being 20 points behind league leaders Besiktas with showing pretty low tempo performance without much creativity up front. Of course, with Super Cup also could be providing new focus and motivation for rest of the season, and hence it would not see this game as opportunity to get 1 title in 2021 at least, but also using it as turning point for 2nd half of football season. In here it would be important how focused would be Basaksehirspor players as it would need to show its best game against highly organised Trabzonspor at defence and attack. It would be important for Basaksehirspor among showing great game also and connected to this to show high concentration.

Basaksehirspor are coming as underdog but it does have capacity to get surprising result against Trabzonspor at Super Cup.

Trabzonspor is much more organised in recent weeks then its opponents.

Trabzonspor on other hand are showing very good performance with Abdullah Avci and would be coming out as favourites during Super Cup game against Basaksehirspor with how side is organised lately.

This blog has been criticising Abdullah Avci first game at Trabzonspor stating that its been focussed too much into defence without much attacking game, but it started solving this issues in recent weeks without doubt with getting important balance at two positions with finding some goals. Taking account that Basaksehirspor which in recent years been seen as highly organised side, sometimes too much, it did look to be losing that factor which does push Trabzonspor into better condition. Without doubt win in this game would also provide strong confidence and motivation for very crucial Besiktas game later. Other factor, is that Abdullah Avci despite being seen among successfull coaches in Turkey right now would be fighting for his 1st career title which would provide him additional motivation.

As been noted, Trabzonspor would be coming as favourites but its Super Cup one-off and hence it would be needing to give its best if it wants to get title with high focus.
