What happened in Turkish football today? 19/11/2021



Besiktas will have tough game against Alanyaspor.

Even through currently as would be expected Turkish sports media is giving full attention to Galatasaray-Fenerbahce game, Besiktas would be coming to tough game against form opponent Alanyaspor which have some points as them.

Besiktas is going through period where its not getting good results both domestically and especially at Champions League so this is interntational team break did provide opportunity for Sergen Yalcin to go through recent poor results and identify reasons and solutions to this problems without doubt. With giving more focus into league from now on it would be interesting to see how it would be performing against Alanyaspor which is being one of the few sides in the league which does show strong confident and positive game and very likely would provide game not to draw against Besiktas but get even win and it is capable to do so at it tends to be probelmatic side to big clubs in recent seasons.

Therefore, Besiktas would have difficult time and even through both side are in same point they opponents are being at better condition. 

Berke Ozer would be filling pressure against Galatasaray.

Fenerbahce player Berke Ozer is expected to be starting at starting 11 during being 2nd goalkeeper while Altay Bayindir is being injured and there is worry of how he would be performing due of his young age and inexperience.

Berke Ozer is being seen as one of the main potential in such position but there is serious questions if he is being in levle for such game which he got opportunity due of injury of Altay Bayindir and not having strong 2nd goalkeeper in its disposal right now. To some extend, such stress and playing at biggest rival at 2 continents derby would provide motivation to him which would mean he would be providing his best game but in same time would rise pressure. So it would be important to see how he would cope with this pressure as opponent would look to use its chance of having in opposite inexperienced player.

Berke Ozer does get opportunity to prove everyone of how good he is with this opportunity but this could provide some pressure to him which he would need to cope.

Partner for Dervisoglu at derby game is still not being clear

Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim is currently focussed into attacking line which he would be introducing Fenerbahce during derby game as he is expected to start with two attackers.

With Halil Dervisoglu providing strong and confident performance in recent weeks at his club and national team he is almost certain to be starting at game but there are questions if he would be starting with Mbiaye Diagne and Mustafa Muhammed with Muhammed recent performance does provide him to be more likely to be starting but Diagne is being strong alternative and could be subsittuted according how game develops. Without doubt, Terim is focussed to provide attacking game with providing pressure to Berke Ozer and hence start with strong attacking focussed forward game.

Terim hence is certain with Dervisoglu but there is big question who would be his partner.
