What happened in Turkish football today? 19/09/2021



 Fenerbahce has shown least ineffective game during this season.

Basaksehirspor has won its 1st game during this season with 2:0 scoreline against Fenerbahce, as their opponents did provide most uneffective during this season without being able to get right tempo with misunderstandings between players.

It does look mid-week European football has also affected negatively to Fenerbahce as it was pretty far from organised, high tempo and fighting team work which been observed with team in all of the games both at the Europe and domestically. Hence, Fenerbahce has been observed that it did get high mistakes during starting with attacks especially with passes and positioning of players which showed that players didnt understand each other which could be not very good tactical work for this game or tiredness from Eintracht Frankfurt game. During whole game, Fenerbahce really did have one opportunity which could be convered to goal as Valencia did get strong header which Volkan Babacan save. Hence, Fenerbahce needs to learn lessons from this game as it failed to get into tempo.

Basaksehirspor on their part did win its first game with showing pretty ineffective and slow tempo game with providing much more controllable game and aimed to reduce tempo of the opponent which it managed to do so.

Fenerbahce has lost its 1st game during this season with providing least uneffective game with possibly due of tiredness of Eintracht Frankfurt.

Galatasaray continues losing points, as it lost to Alanyaspor.

Galatasaray did lose its 1st game at Super League during this season but with drawing previous 2 games it did provide some worrying signs for them, while Alanyaspor provided strong and tempo game for 90 minutes.

Apart of ending previous 2 games with 2:2 draw while winning 2:0, it also needs to be remembered that Galatasaray did have pretty difficult game against Lazio at Europa League which possibly did have some negative impact towards this game. Even through Galatasaray did concede towards end of the game, it needs to be mentioned did provide much more willing and forward seeking game as it did provide mediocre tempo game during 1st half which without doubt would not be enough to beat highly organised Alanyaspor. Therefore, Galatasaray did have much more attacking game during 2nd half with being focussed into converting chances pretty highly but couldnt pass opponent defence, goalkeeper in some positions while in some didnt get highly tempo game. Galatasaray hence didnt win for 3 weeks right now, and does show hence some decline with its performance and therefore Terim needs to go through and identify reasons for this outcomes while its not to late.

Alanyaspor which been always highly organised and providing an attacking game has continued to do so in this game and taking account it didnt great start o the season so it possibly did show best game so far.

Galatasaray did provide good performance in 2nd half but it wasnt enough for them to get win and hence needs to identify reasons for eating game with this outcome.

Besiktas showed great comeback despite of absences.

Besiktas has shown memorable comeback against Antalyaspor during 2nd half as it won with 3:2 when being behind 2:0 and did that with coming out with limited squad especially at defence.

Due of high number games and intense training session, Besiktas had high number of defensive players which provided difficult situation for head coach Sergen Yalcin as he did have pretty limited possibilities in this area and put players which are not usual in such position, especially putting some players who not used in this position which led for Antalyaspor to get upper hand and finding two goals back-to-back at the end of half.However, with possibly strong motivational talk at half-time and even more important changing some tactics led for Besiktas to find 3 goals. With finding 3 goals in 2nd half, hence provided strong character of the side and would provide important motivation and confidence for upcoming games. Sergen Yalcin has positive character of realising his mistakes and solving them which led for side with such great comeback.

Besiktas did show two different halves where 1st half would be highly criticised while Besiktas showed strong character during 2nd half.
