What happened in Turkish football today? 07/03/2021

 


Galatasaray has lost another 2 points.

Galatasaray has lost 2 points during Super League 29th week game and hence did lose in total of 5 points during previous last 2 games, while Sivasspor did win its 1st point in its history in the league at Galatasaray stadium.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray did provide better performance compare to previous game with getting high number of opportunities but did struggle without doubt due of poor conditions on the field which does look to be having issues while playing at home ground as it still has 6 games. One of the positive notes during this game in perspective from Galatasaray however been for looking high number of opportunities as game been with rising them towards end which did show to some extend much more compare to previous game. Another important development been strong return for Radamel Falcao, who took place for Mustafa Muhammed, who had game off due of red card with scoring 2 goals, one from penalty and also providing some other opportunities as game been developing. Therefore, even through it could be noted side didnt do enough to get win it did provide improvement and provides promises for upcoming weeks as critical weeks in season are coming.

Sivasspor meanwhile needs to be noted also did show some good performance with being focussed highly into defence and using its opportunities with scoring well-deserved 2 goals as side start getting points and showing good game.

Galatasaray did get 1 point but did provide good pressure game but couldnt overpass poor field condition and organised opponent defensive game. 

Besiktas are showing some decline with performance but still wins games.

Despite of the fact that Besiktas did win 6th win back-to-back, it did almost lose 2 points as Gaziantep in the end of the game has hit into cross after few minutes from penalty shot, as Besiktas 2 goals from Vincent Aboubakar brought win.

Even through Besiktas did regain its leadership for 3 points when looking at equal amount of games, it needs to be noted that side did lose its tempo and high control of the game in duration of last 2 weeks. It is true that it is important to win game when playing badly in title race but in same time this are being signs that some actions needs to be taken for upcoming games. Besiktas head coach Sergen Yalcin did state in interesting manner that team did show good game, if this is said to motivate players its good sign but if he actually believes that it could be worrying image for side in upcoming games. Besiktas need to identify things which didnt go as planned until Basaksehirspor game.

Besiktas are getting wins while being in decline with performance but it needs to improve its game before it doesnt lose points.

Fenerbahce needs to show good collective game.

Fenerbahce didnt lose strong opportunity when it did lose 2 points against Antalyaspor, and with continuing to show two different games at home and away, it would be focussing to bounce back again in the league as it would meet with Konyaspor in league.

As season is slowly getting into most crucial part, with Fenerbahce situation it cant afford losing points if it focusses to get title this season and would be focussed to providing top level game. With Mesut Ozil being injured and will not be playing upcoming games, it would be seen as "good news" for Dimitrios Pelkas who would be playing in more role of attacker which seems to be his most suitable position looking for goals and being key player in sense of finding goals. Defence wise, team would be needed to focus not to repeat simple position and not creating pressure into themselves during game. Konyaspor on they side would be hoping to get at least point focussing into defensive game likely.

Fenerbahce are focussed into title and will be coming as favourites but again its need to show good game collectively.
