What happened in Turkish football today? 19/10/2021



Besiktas puts its condition into difficulty after losing to Sporting Lisbon

Besiktas has lost to Sporting Lisbon during Champions League Group C 3rd week game and has put its opportunities to get not only knockout stages of this tournament but also get 3rd spot for Europa League.

It needs to be noted that Besiktas did have pretty good start of the game with getting some tempo and possession which it did keep pretty high for most amount of the game but did provide pretty poor counter-attacking game from Sporting Lisbon which did provide high concentration and has converted goals with corner attacks and also being much more effective game. Therefore, this game showed pretty poor performance at defence with how Portuguese side did provide dangerous opportunities when it got into counter-attacks. Without doubt another factor which affected to this goal scoreline of not very effective game from Michy Batshuayi who did get into high number of opportunities but didnt convert them due of poor shots or getting into offside. With taking account that Sporting Lisbon is being potential opponent for 3rd spot in this group, losing with 4:1 scoreline would provide serious issues and winning might not be enough during next week when both sides would meet again.

Sporting Lisbon on their part did provide patient and counter-attacking which it did pretty successful and in overall did look to be better side compare to Besiktas despite of having lower possession.

With this loss Besiktas did put into difficult of continuing European tournaments but most important it needs to analyse this result with its capacities. 

 Metin Tokat has resigned as member of Central Referee Committee

Central Referee Committee member Metin Tokat, who also been in previous years referee, has announced his resignation even through its not been reported reason of such decision.

It needs to be noted that reason might be personal ones, but it did come out in the period where by many clubs and from many ex-referees recent performance and organisation of committee been actively criticised with talks that it would need to be going through some of the changes with organisation. With this taking account, there is possibility that for Tokat could be related to poor performance from referees with Ali Sansalan performance during Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce been currently heavily discussed and criticised. It is hard as been noted to know actual reason but there could be some speculation without doubt.

Meanwhile, position been replaced by Ferhat Gundogdu who been seen as committee as reserved member before joining to committee after Tokat resignation.

Anthony Nwakaeme has become injured.

Trabzonspor player has announced that its player Anthony Nwakaeme which without doubt would be seen as unwanted development as he is being one of the leading players in previous and this season.

Nwakaeme without doubt did provide very good performance in his club during recent seasons with showing strong attacking game for most of the game and finding without doubt crucial goals which did bring some important wins. Therefore, with his absence there would be some effect at attacking part of the game and would affect into creativity even through it does have Bakasetas for now. Still, such injury would mean that team would need to go through some changes without doubt and hence would provide some thinking for upcoming games for Abdullah Avci without doubt but he does have some alternatives in squad.

Therefore, without doubt Trabzonspor would need to go through some changes in its tactics at the attack but it does have some strong alternatives with its disposal for sure.
