What happened in Turkish football today? 22/05/2021

 


Genclebrirligi poor defence has led them to be relegated.

This blog entry would continue its series of summary of 2020-21 Super League season with 3 clubs which been relegated to 1st league starting with two of the Ankara sides Genclerbirligi and Ankaragucu.

Starting with one of respected sides in Turkish football Genclerbirligi which even through doesnt have very bad squad and did actually had some good results during whole season, still didnt manage to show continuous game with among them losing very badly  in some of the games and not showing much continuing game with going through some serious defensive issues which without doubt did been one of the main aspects for them to be relegated. Without having strong defensive game, it needs to be noted that it still come to last week with some hope to be staying in the league but still didnt have much hope as it did lose some points prior to that crucial game and didnt provide much pressure to Trabzonspor during that game.

Genclerbirligi didnt really fulfill its expectation due of some poor transfers for defence and also administrative issues without doubt.

Hikmet Karaman did his best for Ankaragucu to stay at top.

Without doubt, one of the sides which it been specifically dissapointed to see to be relegated has been Ankaragucu since when Hikmet Karaman did become head coach of the side it did provide some very good performance but its been too late.

Ankaragucu during start of the season did provide very unsatisfactorily performance losing high number of points and therefore its been difficult for Hikmet Karaman to raise side into high level. Ankaragucu as in fact others sides which been relegated been around relegation zone for most amount of the time and did come from there towards end but with having some tough games in the end of the season did lose some crucial points. Still, praise should be given to Karaman and fighting spirit and this is being possibly only side which gamewise could be stated did everything to stay at top league.

With Genclerbirligi and Ankaragucu been relegated this means there will be no side from Ankara, capital of Turkey, which is not good news for city with such states and both this 2 clubs needs to go through this as whole football community of city.

Poor administration led Denizlispor to be relegated.

Despite of having pretty strong players especially at attack such Hugo Rodallega and Sagal, Denizlispor without doubt did provide poorest performance which been mainly due of poor administrating of the side. 

Denizlispor in fact did show interesting performance due of fact that it did get high number of opportunities but did convert them with low opportunity with Hugo Rodallega taking main stance but he singly handedly did manage to keep side at top. There were some serious issue of payment to the players without doubt which did affect to morale and hence performance of club, and similar issues took place on previous season which sadly seen that administration didnt learn from mistake.

From tomorrow this blog would go into discussing about daily issues focussing into  transfers and slowly getting into Euro2020 mood but on 27th May entry, as on previous 3rd side to be promoted to Super League will be know there would be entry of promoted side ending summer of 2020-21 season.
