What happened in Turkish football today? 01/05/2021


 

Besiktas strongly graps one side of Super League title.

Besiktas has send very strong message to Hatayspor in this particular game and also following title race opponents as it has managed to get win with 7:0 scoreline and is currently holding title with one side in firmly grap.

Besiktas did provide fast tempo and aggresive game from start to an end with providing strong image to opponents both in this game and title race and among its supporters it highly focussed to win this game and to do so in very short period without giving any chances, and with such attitude it did find 3 goals within 15 minutes and did have number of other opportunities. Even if and quite understandably after 3:0 it did reduce tempo and pressure to opponent goal, it has been side which continued to be one controlling this game and providing strong attacking game. In addition, Hatayspor very likely providing its worst game during whole season and failing to provide any response to Besiktas did also made things for them easier even through it needs to be noted that Besiktas aggresive game with providing strong pressure did lead to them to get this control and preventing Hatayspor to get into game. Without doubt this result does show that Besiktas are detirmened to get Super Cup title.

Hatayspor as been noted did get fully unexpected result and even through Besiktas did come favourite for game, it wasnt expected for them to provide such poor and passive game not showing effective control of opponent. Only thing which could be said that this game doesnt represent sides strength.

Besiktas did get very close to title with only needing to win 4 points out of 9, with possibilty getting title at Galatasaray stadium next week being high possibility if both opponents lose points.

Galatasaray needs to win Genclerbirligi which fights for survival.

As we enter to last 4 games of this season, Galatasaray would be playing against Genclerbirligi with keeping its title hopes or at worst 2nd spot aims arrive as their opponents are playing crucial games to stay at league.

Galatasaray does provide unstable perforormance in recent weeks which does provide some questions how it would be performing against Genclerbirligi as it does provide very good game in one and another. With Genclerbirligi without doubt being focussed to stay on the league and being highly motivated with seeing this game without doubt as extra bonus would likely lead them to show controllable with being focussed into defence and providing counter-attacks, therefore Galatasaray would need to be focussed to show creative game with fast tempo without problem. When side is on right mood it needs to be noted it can show such performance especially when youngster Kerem Akturkoglu are providing strong willingness and that would be expected from him if he would be starting at starting 11. 

Therefore, Galatasaray would be coming for win to keep its title hopes arrive and also get important motivation prior to Besiktas derby game.

Lifting relegation for next season would be suicidal move to Turkish league.

Denizlispor head coach Ali Tandogan suggests to lift relegation from Super League in this season also due of Covid19 effects it has to clubs, but that would be certainly unacceptable.

Due of goodwill from TFF it was decided after last season to lift relegation during this season due of impact Covid19 had to all clubs, which did raise number of side to 21 and created pretty chaotic week with 40 sides to be on the league with one side having bye with high number of midweeks game. Even through it didnt have negative impact to title race and relegation zone with those questions to be answered potentially with last minute goal, it provided incredible burden to all sides. This without doubt been one of the factors of slight decline of quality in league due of tiredness. Adding other 3 clubs to the league would mean 46 weeks per season and this league, in fact no league would be able to carry this burden.

Raising number of clubs from 20 to 24 in next season would be huge mistake without doubt and shouldnt be even considered.
