What happened in Turkish football today? 19/03/2021



 Galatasaray defence has led for them to lose Rizespor game.

Rizespor has managed to get win against Galatasaray at very tense duel between both sides with 4:3 scoreline as both sides provided high level performance. With this performance Galatasaray did lose very important 3 points as its main title contenders opponents would play against each other.

Even through it should be noted that Galatasaray did provide strong resistance each time when it did concede from Rizespor, it should be noted that poor defence of its players and also Yedlin been sending off due of two yellow cards, with 2nd being due of complaints following 1st yellow card position did have direct impact of this outcome. This game therefore most importantly did provide view that it does have pretty strong attackers with finding 3 goals with scoring great goals, but its defenders did provide very poor game with mistakes from Cristian Luyindama and Marcao which did show some lack of concentration with without doubt making mistakes which would not be acceptable by its players during such stage of the season as we entering to last 10 weeks of the season. In the end of such result and performance from defenders need to go through this game deeply and identify its mistakes.

Rizespor on their part did provide very strong positive responses during whole game especially with finding early goal on 2nd minute for sure provided positive impact to its players with providing high motivation and confidence.

Galatasaray continues showing unstable performance as we entering to critical weeks as without doubt Fatih Terim needs to focus into defensive issues during this national team break. 

Trabzonspor are coming out with lower motivation compare to Ankaragucu.

Trabzonspor which seems to be demotivated from getting further from title race would be meeting with in good form Ankaragucu during Super League 31st week at the game which could be pretty tough one for both sides.

Trabzonspor as been noted following Fenerbahce game 4 weeks ago did look to be losing motivation and focus which could be easily seen from previous game as it didnt provide controllable game in confident manner which been observed with previous game at Abdullah Avci. Without doubt, Trabzonspor would need to seen to be providing once again strong organised game if it doesnt want to lose 4th spot and still keep its title chances regardless how low alive and without doubt Abdullah Avci main focus has been to do during this week training session. Ankaragucu meanwhile is still being at relegation zone but did provide strong performance during last 2 weeks getting wins with showing some game which included Galatasaray game. With being full confidence and motivation it would be expected to show some strong game in this game.

Even through Trabzonspor when coming to squad does have better side, Ankaragucu are coming out with better form which could be key for final result in this game.

Turkish National Team squad for World Cup qualifier been announced.

Turkish National Team has announced its squad for World Cup 2022 qualifiers against Holland, Norway and Latvia which did include some players which been called to squad for 1st time.

Without doubt this World Cup 2022 qualifiers would be also testing for Euro2020 which would be taking this summer for Turkey and other sıdes which would be participating in tournament. Therefore, it did include players such as Taylan Antalyali and Halil Akbunar been selected for 1st time who did provide very strong performance on their club and would be getting opportunity to prove themselves to be able to play in such level in this qualifiers. Meanwhile, squad did include Lille player Burak Yilmaz, Yusuf Yazici, Zeki Celik and Le Havre player Umut Meras following decision of Ligue 1 and 2 sides not sending non-EU player to national side. Even through some news media did report that issue been solved, there is no official statement and time would show if issue been solved or TFF still tries to solve it and included them due of hope to do so.

When looking at squad it could be noted that it does come up with strong squad in overall and could provide some good performance in upcoming qualifiers.
