What happened in Turkish football today? 01/11/2021



Galatasaray regained its confidence with Gaziantep win.

Galatasaray got very important win against Gaziantep during Super League 11th week with using opportunity of loss of points of its Istanbul opponents and also regaining back confidence after Besiktas loss.

Galatasaray didnt necessarily provided high tempo especially during 1st half and didnt dominate game but still did control game for 90 minutes not allowing opponents to get into serious positions and shots to goal. Even through it could be noted that Galatasaray didnt have specifically high amount of goals for 90 minutes, two goals which been scored have been very generetic from Morutan and good teamwork from Sofiane Feghouli and Kerem Akturkoglu at the 2nd goal. Therefore, Galatasaray did get important win in sense of morale both for the Lokomotiv Moscow game and also for upcoming games in the league as it would be focussed to catch up with Trabzonspor who are currently being at the top.

Some people, state that Galatasaray is being biggest winner in this week which is not really true since Trabzonspor keeps its 4 points advantage at the top from 2nd spot.

Trabzonspor have full focus into contuning winning games.

As been noted, Trabzonspor is being biggest winner from this week as it rose point difference with Besiktas which it would meet next week to 7 points, Fenerbahce to 8 points and kept 7 point advantage from Galatasaray.

Even through when looking how it performs in the field it could be stated that Trabzonspor are being currently in the decline, it still being only side not to lose game and even manages to win without providing its maximum tempo which it shown in the start of the season. Without doubt, main reason of this is full focus and belief for making this season as winning title with strong tactical work with Abdullah Avci. Without doubt those 2 issues would be key for continuing winning games and could provide needed motivation for games which might be having issues as it progresses. Add that quallity of the side and there would be side to beat without doubt. 

Trabzonspor is being in strong self-confidence right now and without doubt are looking forward to Besiktas game.

Ali Koc needs to find solutions for his mistakes if he doesnt want to get highest protest from his supporters this season.

Fenerbahce is once again showing poor performance as it did enter to October as league leaders, has lost 3-games back-to-back including to Trabzonspor with showing some decline with its performance.

Even through main blame is being given towards head coach Vitor Pereira, it needs to be stated that similar performance been observed as soon as Ali Koc did become CEO with different coaches, and it does look like supporters patience towards Koc is getting less and less as he didnt fulfill for making side which would win title as apart previous season, during his reign were not really closed for title. Therefore, Ali Koc needs to go through his own methods of running club even more critically if he doesnt want to have another unsuccessful season with supporters very likely would give highest discontent towards him since him becoming CEO.

Ali Koc didnt fulfill his promises and most importantly for most time did get into his club into lowest points including getting close to be relegated and Koc needs to go through this issues right now.
