What happened in Turkish football today? 28/02/2021



 Fenerbahce has got well-deserved win against Trabzonspor.

Fenerbahce has got well-deserved win against Trabzonspor during Super League 27th week game thanks to great goal from Dimitrios Pelkas and kept them at the race for top position, while Trabzonspor did look to be less-willing to get win in fighting spirit.

Fenerbahce did come out to very crucial game in sense of race for the top position, recent performance which did raise high amount of pressure to the side and its been expected that Erol Bulut would be going through very big changes for this game. With some important changes which did provide strong attacking and defence game, and possibly showing its best performance this season did provide side that it can provide this kind of performance which would keep them for sure at the title race.In fact, this scoreline shouldnt be providing view that game been played in equal manner, as Fenerbahce did have high number of good opportunities but couldnt pass opponent goalkeeper Ogulcan Caglayan who did provide very good saves with in normal condition those positions would be likely ended with goals from Fenerbahce. Meanwhile, this game has once again proved importance of Dimitrios Pelkas to be key player and should be at starting 11 in upcoming games.

As it tends to be case, with Fenerbahce showing very good performance in other hand Trabzonspor did provide pretty ineffective game didnt provide much threat to opponent despite of having some tries but still it did finish game with single shot on target. With Fenerbahce controlling tempo of the game, Trabzonspor did fail at any moment of the game with only good moment it did get some very good opportunities in the end with providing pressure but still couldnt overpass Fenerbahce who did stay at the high focus in the game without doubt. Without doubt Fenerbahce did prevent Trabzonspor to get positions, but as side themselves it didnt provide much threat with attackers not being very effective. Only player at Trabzonspor hence could be named Nwakaeme who at least from his teammates did look for opportunities. This result has rised point difference with Fenerbahce to 6 points and 9 points with Galatasaray and hence did get damage for top spot race.

Fenerbahce did come very difficult game both physically and mentally but it did overpass this barrier with showing much stronger, organised and willing game compare to Trabzonspor.  

Galatasaray did get win without showing too positive game.

Galatasaray has got 2:0 win against Erzurumspor thanks to 2 goals which been scored from Mustafa Muhammed even through it is hard to state that team had shown strong performance and could have problematic game if opponent used their opportunities stronger.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray didnt provide much high level game which been expected from them while Erzurumspor which currently is around relegation zone did overpass their expectations with showing strong positive game. In fact, it needs to be noted that Galatasaray did only show good game in duration of 30-45 minutes where it did find 2 winning goals with Muhammed once again showing his strong focus and physique with those  goals. Not getting game with full attacking game does provide some questions for the team, but it needs to be noted as been focussed on yesterday blog entry Galatasaray did control whole game which does provide strong plus for side in upcoming games but needs to learn lessons from this game as title race continues.

Galatasaray didnt show great game but still did control tempo of the game and did get crucial win.

Sumudica has criticised his players after Sivasspor game.

Marius Sumudica, who is currently at Rizespor, did once again get into highlights as he provided harsh and direct criticism towards players as there is possibility of issues with administrators.

Foremost, it needs to be noted that Sumudica does have worst period as head coach during his Turkish career without able to provide positive game performance which he did at Gaziantep, this time drawing with Sivasspor while playing 11-to-10 for most amount of game. With providing that he cant do much with side to improve performance, he provided most controversial saying that even Jose Mourinho will not be able to get positive result with this club. There is possibility that this message was going to administration, but without doubt this is direct criticism towards players. It would be interesting to see how both players and administration would respond in upcoming days.

Sumudica continues to get into highlights but most important creating issues at the club where he coaches.
