What happened in Turkish football today? 11/04/2021


 

Besiktas got important win against Erzurumspor despite of poor game.

Besiktas has got very important win against struggling Erzurumspor with getting 4:2 scoreline at game which been played at tough field and raised point difference to 7 points from closest opponent. 

Besiktas with getting such important win with struggling to provide very confident and its usual performance did manage to get scoreline with 4:2 scoreline while being on draw with 2:2 and without doubt did get very important advantage with 8 games. Besiktas as been noted didnt provide performance which it wanted to do which been due of some absences which it did have this week, tiredness from very difficult week where it player 3 games against difficult opponents and also playing at the field which likely has been frozen from icy weather. Talking about injuries, there was unwanted development with Cenk Tosun injury from which he did close season and does raise question with Euro2020 as it is expected it could take him around 6-7 months to be recovered possibly. Meanwhile, it needs to be admitted that Erzurumspor did provide also strong defensive game against Besiktas with giving best which also provided some issues towards Besiktas.

Erzurumspor on their part did provide very strong and confident performance with finding equaliser twice during this game with being highly focussed but did show some signs of tiredness during 2nd half with 3rd goal did affect their motivation. Still, Erzurumspor did provide good game giving signs it would fight until end to stay in the league.

Besiktas did get without doubt did get very important win without doubt even through didnt show very good game but would be saddened to lose Cenk Tosun until end of the season.

Galatasaray continues to lose crucial points.

Galatasaray continues showing poor performance in last weeks as it only has won 1 game in period of last 6 games and not only get further from title with 8 games to be played and 6 points behind leaders Besiktas but puts into danger 2nd spot.

Even through once again Galatasaray does throw blame towards referees, in some moments in rightful manner, it needs to be noted that side is showing poor performance at the field not providing fighting spirit which all Turkish football followers are used to be seen from side towards end of the season. With looking how both sides did compete during game, as Fatih Karagumruk has been closer to win, and looking from attitudes which players are showing it doesnt look like players themselves are believing them. One thing is certain if Galatasaray, and Fenerbahce indeed continues to be losing points in this manner, Besiktas could afford to lose even half of the game to get title. Galatasaray are in big decline and it happening worst time for them it could be.

Galatasaray very unforgetable points right now and does put its title aims further and further by each week without doubt.

Avci plays effective but predictable tactical game.

Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avci following previous 2 games states that he is glad how side is performing without making too much poor game but is unhappy with scoreline. But if Trabzonspor got draws from this game, then something is not right.

Avci as head coach it needs to be noted did provide only one tactical game which been more focussed into defensive performance which is effective kind of play which led him to get high number of points. But issue with playing same tactics is that when opponent aware this tactically it is able to provide prevention for such and this what we seeing for sure. It is not done perfectly by opponents as their get draws but not done badly either since they dont lose. It does look for Trabzonspor that it would continue showing this tactic and with that could lose 4 spot despite of 6 point advantage even through as side it should be thinking if it can get even 2nd spot.

Avci tactics is not bad since it always kept his side close to top but its time to question what reason he never got title in those seasons.
