What happened in Turkish football today? 18/08/2021


 

Trabzonspor would need to show respect and use some opportunities it get against Roma

Trabzonspor without doubt would be having toughest opponent among Turkish sides at European field as it would be playing Italian giant side Roma and sadly not many chances are given to Black Sea side. 

Trabzonspor it needs to be noted did get confident win against Yeni Malatyaspor during opening week which would without provide confidence and motivation for them during Roma game but quite naturally seeing this result as optimistic sign for Roma game would be very foolish. What it is important here is to provide best defensive game it can against Roma during this season and use its opportunities when it did get chances and providing respect to oponent but not overdoing it. Positive aspect for Trabzonspor is that there are attackers who have experience to play in such level which could provide some bonus for game but in overall differences between side is very big.

Therefore, Trabzonspor without doubt would have very difficult game against Roma and it would need to show character against them. 

Fenerbahce are being favourites but it needs to stay focussed.

Fenerbahce will be starting its European journey at Europa League play-off round where it would be playing against Finnish side HJK Helsinki where it would come as favourites but it would need to show high concentration still.

Fenerbahce did start season with win against Adana Demirspor but due of lack of attackers which still exists prior to this game it didnt provide very good performance but did show good organising game especially in defence. Therefore, since Fenerbahce key area during game expected to be midfielders during whole game it would be important for them to provide strong collective game when starting from behind. It needs to be noted that Turkish clubs tend to get surprising unwanted result against HJK for years, and hence Fenerbahce should not underestimate its opponents prior to game especially taking account that there are physically in better conditions due of Finnish league starting earlier.

Fenerbahce are favourites but it need to stay focussed so it would not make problematic.

Galatasaray need to respond mentally to Randers game.

Galatasaray would be coming out to Europa League play-off round game against Randers with being affected from Marcao and Kenan Arkturkoglu fight during Super League 1st week game but side would need to be 100% focussed to game.

Without doubt it would be issue for Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim to let players fully understood as there are being favourites in this tie but lack of concentration could easily whole team. Without doubt, this game would be important for Kenan Akturkoglu as he does provide effective show it would help him to regain focus to football once again as he been surely negatively affected from this event phychologically. With whole side being affected, this game without doubt would help whole team to bounce back mentally which would let team to have good season.

It would be interesting to see how Galatasaray players would respond to game after Marcao-Akturkoglu incident without doubt by everyone
