What happened in Turkish football in 2021? 31/12/2021


 

Besiktas had good start of 2021 but not so good in 2022.

Taking out how mixed most of the clubs has competed during whole 2021, it is hard to name side of the year but since Besiktas did win Super League title of 2020-21 season they do stand out.

Without doubt, we are currently seeing two different Besiktas when looking how side performed in the end of the previous season and its performance so far this season. Besiktas without doubt did look to be side to beaten during previous season and even through it did make some loss of points which could cost them points, it still managed to stay focussed. However, it needs to be mentioned that side did have some unwanted results since start of current season losing lots of points and providing poor game which led for resignation of Sergen Yalcin who didnt find solution to such performance.

With Besiktas currently looking for new coach it would hope that its whole 2022 would be similar to start of previous year.

Trabzonspor had mix of year but opposite to Besiktas.

Trabzonspor to some extend is being opposite to Besiktas as during 2nd half of previous season it didnt provide much strong game despite of not losing but right now there are having 7 point advantage in league.

Without doubt, with Abdullah Avci joining side in winter did provide needed push forward to Trabzonspor as it became strong competitive team providing confident attacking game and even winning games which their didnt provide much performance. With poor performance of its main rivals and 7 point difference with 2nd placed Konyaspor means that side would be getting closer for title. 

Everything to some extend depends how side would be competing in rest of the season as losing title would be only their simple mistakes.

Galatasaray had mixed season but overall it could be satisfied.

Galatasaray did provide some performance when looking overall as it did lose title with 2 goals and does have good performance right now at Europa League.

Despite of having very poor game in the Super League during this season, Galatasaray did have good ending of previous season and also currently not losing game at Europa League even through its been poor performance at league getting further and further from title aims. Therefore, one of the main focusses should be to find balance of top game at Europa League to Super League in 2022 if it doesnt want to have much issues. Galatasaray hence did have also mixed season but when looked overall it could be noted to have good one still.

Galatasaray very likely would make rest of the season Europa League to be priority which could have negative impact to domestic league.

In other news:

- Besiktas administrator Emre Kocadag has stated that he would like to play Super Cup final of 2010-11 season against Fenerbahce if TFF makes decision for game to take place

- YeniMalatyaspor has terminated loan contract with Walter Bwalya
