What happened in Turkish football today? 02/03/2021



Besiktas did focus to get win against Yeni Malatyaspor and it got such result.

Besiktas has managed to get important win against Yeni Malatyaspor with 1:0 scoreline with highly focussed goal from Atiba Hutchinson even through it is hard to state that Besiktas did provide high dominance during game.

Besiktas without doubt start now focussing into scoreline rather then providing very good game, which is being case for other sides which are currently fighting for top position and this could be seen from this game as side did provide controllable, low tempo performance with trying to use its low number of opportunities into effective manner which it did with Atiba Hutchinson where Canadian provided more into scoring with power he did give not focussing too much into esthetics of goal. Still, it needs to be admitted that Besiktas did have difficult moments towards end of the game where Yeni Malatyaspor did get control of the game and been close to get equaliser without doubt, area which needs to be focussed among once again having issues to get good opportunities when game been 0:0 scoreline. It also needs to be noted that Yeni Malatyaspor field has been in much better condition but still were not in level which would allow Besiktas to play it would be hoping too. 

Yeni Malatyaspor meanwhile needs to be noted did provide some good fighting spirit for 90 minutes with doing its best to find equaliser goal, providing pressure to opponent. Yeni Malatyaspor did do some mistakes including when it conceded but it did show some willingness to get at least point.

Besiktas without doubt did play for result when we entering to critical weeks at title race and it did get such result with Hutchinson using his opportunity. 

Galatasaray would be focussed to improve its midfielding performance against Ankaragucu.

Galatasaray will be aiming to carry on its winning streak as it would be meeting with struggling Ankaragucu with aiming to keep its leadership in the league as we entering slowly to crucial weeks.

Despite of getting 2:0 scoreline against Erzurumspor, it is hard to state that side did provide specifically very good performance during 90 minutes and hence it would be aiming to provide much more stronger performance especially in the midfielding position both focussing into defensive part of it and attacking focussing to continuing providing effective assists and start of the attacks towards Mustafa Muhammed who would be expecting to continue his effective attacking game with looking to find other goals to as been noted to struggling opponent without doubt. Meanwhile, Ankaragucu to who every point is being crucial obviously will not be saying no to win, but would provide most priority to organised and closed defence, but needless to say it would be needed to provide specific focus to Mustafa Muhammed if it would be looking to keep clean sheet.

Galatasaray will be coming to the game but it would be interesting to see how side would provide performance in the midfield especially with injured Taylan Antalyali.

Fenerbahce player Caner Erkin will not join training session until wekeend.

Fenerbahce player Caner Erkin who did miss previous game against Trabzonspor due of reaction he showed towards head coach Erol Bulut and right now he will not attend training session with whole team until weekend, as this could be seen mini decision to put himself outside of squad.

This decision background has been 1:0 loss to Goztepe game during Super League 26th week when Caner Erkin when being substituted did provide pretty agressive reaction towards Erol Bulut which without doubt would be seen as disrespectful. This decision hence being highly discipline, and been seen as direct message to other players reminding who is boss of whole side and no player would be tolerated with such behavior and reaction, when taking account that Caner Erkin is being very important as he did play big role with finding goals thanks to crosses. This decision would also give lesson to get lessons from such behaviour and will hopefully lead him to act more calmer and respectfull to coaching staff and player when he would be returning to training and playing games.

Fenerbahce did right decision with reminding Caner Erkin specifically and generally to other players about, right, hierachy  which exists in the club.
