What happened in Turkish football today? 08/11/2021



Galatasaray continues ineffective game at domestic league.

Galatasaray to some extend has been lucky to get 1 point from Fatih Karagumruk as it did provide pretty low tempo game and didnt provide much danger to opponent goal apart of last 5 minutes of the game.

Even through such poor performance from Galatasaray could be connected to fast tempo difficult game against Lokomotiv Moscow, it still need to be mentioned that it does provide pretty dissapointing performance at overall in the domestic league which without doubt does have direct impact of confidence of opponent which does show good performance. It needs to be mentioned that Fatih Karagumruk didnt also provide great game which we used to see from them, but it did right tactical game with only losing concentration towards end which hence did led for them to lose 2 points. Therefore, it does look like Galatasaray would now need to focus to identify issues which are present in the league hence European performance is being much ahead.

If Galatasaray is choosing Europa League to be more important this difference could be accepted but from what known Terim is taking both tournaments seriously so it does need to improve.

Issue is Ali Koc, not Pereira

Even through Fenerbahce did provide more willingness during Kayserispor and did find equaliser inlast minute from penalty, its still much far from performance which it seeked for.

It needs to be reminded that when Ali Koc been selected as CEO of the club, it was expected for them to make it side which would be getting titles with slogans from supporters Ali Koc=league title. Without this title not coming for 5-years did eventually led for supporters to lose patience and call for him to be resigning. Even through some people tend to call for Vitor Pereira to resign it is seen that club does perform similar with different coaches and hence issues is not there. Resigning Vitor Pereira could be option for Koc but even he does that he needs to be incredibly self-critical towards him to identify mistakes which are present at the club and find solutions. If he cant solve this, he should be resigning for sure.

Ali Koc needs to be aware that issue is not coach and find ways to get better results in this season and future.

Huseyin Turkmen and Anastios Bakasetas has become injured.

League leaders did get unwanted news of injuries of its 2 players: Huseyin Turkmen and more crucial Anastios Bakasetas with only positive side that their become injured during national team break.

It is reported that Bakasetas injury could last up to 3-4 weeks which would mean he would be missing 2 games following break and hence Abdullah Avci would need to find solutions and figure out how side could be successful with attacks with different players and providing effective game and with having good squad at hand he would be able to sort this out. Huseyin Turkmen meanwhile is also being loss of good player but not being very crucial and in addition he could recover until resuming league after break.

Trabzonspor did start recovery of both players and will be focussed to make them to be recovered until restart of league.

In other news:

- Trabzonspor will have CEO election on 25-26th November, if majority not gathered it would be moved to 4-5th December.

- Farul Constanta has offered Galatasaray to play friendly game in Romania during this national team break.

- Besiktas considers to sell its player Fabrice Nsakala during mid-season transfer window.

- Besiktas player Ajdin Hasic has resumed training session after recovering from injury.

- Turkish referee Halis Ozkahya: Noone forced me to come out on field again to end game with 4 minutes. I have realised it myself. I could have said that its not my fault, 4th referee showed wrong time but this doesn't suit my character. I have decided to resign.
