What happened in Turkish football today? 08/02/2021


 

Trabzonspor got crucial win at difficult condition against Yeni Malatyaspor.

Trabzonspor has got very important win against Yeni Malatyaspor with 2:0 scoreline at the very difficult field in Malatya and has reduced point difference with leadership trio to 6 points, staying at title race.

With top clubs losing points in recent weeks, Trabzonspor has used this opportunity in very effective manner without doubt even through it did play one of the most difficult scheduling in this period including during today game as it played against opponent which does provide strong form in recent weeks in the field which been very poor condition and hence reduces possibility to show creative passing game which did affect to side performance at the front. Without doubt, Antonios Bakasetas has become key player during game which scoring very important goal once again with single handedly getting 6 points in previous 2 games. It needs to be noted that after conceding Yeni Malatyaspor did provide much more attacking game with lacking to conver their opportunities which does provide some worry for side to be allowing such factor which could be seen as sign of tiredness. However, it still showed good character and did get important for them.

Yeni Malatyaspor on their part also aimed to show strong game on their own field been possibly much more used but did fail to get last touches but in overall it did show game which would be providing high hopes for upcoming weks.

Trabzonspor did provide good game in pretty difficult stadium condition with scoring 2 goals and hence reducing point difference with league leaders of 3 sides to 6 points.

Besiktas provided strong reaction to red card of N'Sakala

Besiktas has got important against Konyaspor with providing strong attitude after Fabrice N'sakala did get two yellow cards which led for send-off on 20th minute, even through it needs to be noted that Konyaspor didnt provide strong resistance to opponents.

When looking at game, it should be noted that its been played with pretty low tempo without much opportunities from both sides, which could be to some extend be understanding on side of Besiktas but been pretty suprising for Konyaspor to show passive game apart of few moments during game when it did raise tempo of game bit. Besiktas themselves did show sign of reduction of its tempo following Trabzonspor game, as it is hard to stat their did show some dominance prior to red card, but again playing in such condition and still showing game focussing into winning and finding goals does deserve lots of praises towards Besiktas, with this win would play important role in upcoming weeks in sense of confidence and motivation. Its also been important also for Valentin Rosier to find his 1st goal and it being such crucial, it is true that being midfielder he doesnt focus to much to score but this would provide needed  confidence to him.

Besiktas with such win join Galatasaray and Besiktas on top with 48 points, with even through upcoming weeks will not yet decide title winner it might lead for some of them to lose opportunity.

Fenerbahce will be aiming to show response following loss at derby game.

Fenerbahce would be returning for its aims for Turkish Cup as it would be playing against Basaksehirspor, looking for this game to show strong reaction and regain confidence following loss to Galatasaray.

Taking account of poor performance of Basaksehirspor in recent weeks, Fenerbahce would be coming as favourite even if it would be coming with alternative squad with Mesut Ozil expects to be taking longer then one half performance, with possibly starting game. Meanwhile, Basaksehirspor with getting poor results in the Super League might be seeing Turkish Cup as good alternative and might be showing much more stronger game compare to league especially taking account that Fenerbahce would provide good confidence for side if it wins. However, in other hand Basaksehirspor are getting closer to relegation zone and might due of this league as higher priority due of this then Turkish Cup. In either manner, Fenerbahce would be seeking to get win after losing derby game.

Fenerbahce hence likely to be stronger motivated for Turkish Cup, while it would be interesting to see how Basaksehirspor would be focussed to this game.
