What happened in Turkish football today? 19/04/2021


 

Fenerbahce keeps their chance for title hopes alive.

Fenerbahce has managed to beat title-holders Basaksehirspor who are currently positioned at relegation zone while Fenerbahce has reduced point difference to 2 points while having an extra game.

Fenerbahce did come out to very important game not only due of opponent but also into timing of the game as win would keep them chances for title as their are entering to 6 weeks game as it kept 2nd spot regardless how Galatasaray on midweek and also getting closer to leaders which lost 2 points. However, Fenerbahce didnt start game well and didnt show especially perfect game but did get control between 0:1 to 2:1 scoreline even through it did get too much back after 2:1 scoreline with almost losing 2 points due of needless penalty from Harun Tekin but his save let him to keep side chances for title alive and also forgive from his mistake. In overall, Harun Tekin did show good performance despite of some worries and did provide image that he could help side to stay at race.

Fenerbahce without doubt did get very important in such crucial week and could hope for its main opponents as their would be playing with strong opponents.

Besiktas would come to very crucial game against Sivasspor.

Besiktas, which does show decline of its performance due of stress of being leaders and also intense scheduling, would be coming to one of the toughest games as it would be meeting with Sivasspor which didnt lose for 12 weeks.

Without doubt this game would be much tougher then to Ankaragucu game, as Sivasspor did get very impressive rate with winning first time in league history for 12 weeks and has been focussed right now to get 5th spot for Conference League. Therefore, Besiktas without doubt would need to be providing much more organised, focussed and effective game as loss in this game would provide high pressure for side in its title race. Good news for Besiktas would be returning of Vincent Aboubakar who would be most creative player in attack without doubt and hence would play crucial role with finding goals. Sivasspor would be coming with high confidence but very likely with strong respect to opponent and hence would provide effective patient game.

Without doubt this would be one of the most crucial games in title race and outcome will have direct impact to 3 contenders.

Turkish football community, expect Galatasaray, strong against European Super League.

Right now the most discussed topic at whole European football community being announcement of European Super League and for sure Turkish football world has also provided their own reaction to this matter.

Until now, both TFF and Clubs Union has provided direct and strong criticism system calling it that it would affect negatively to football world,which is being without doubt stance by majority in rest of world, including of this blog writer. This system without doubt would provide negative impact to what could be referred to developing football nations, which in all fairness Turkey is at, as it would raise gap between both elite clubs and nations with others. UEFA decision to not accept players at national sides also been right reaction with providing pressure to this clubs. This could mean however that Merih Demiral, Ozan Kabak and Hakan Calhanoglu might not compete at Euro2020.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz did announce he could be attending to tournament for 5 vacant spots with clubs showing directly different stance from general Turkish community on matter.
