What happened in Turkish football today? 22/12/2021



Fenerbahce looked to be lacking motivation against Fatih Karagumruk despite having 2 extra men on 2nd half.

Fenerbahce has failed to beat Fatih Karagumruk even when having 2 extra men on field for more than 1 half as it lost tempo which been pleasant with Vitor Pereira.

1st game from Fenerbahce since terminating contract Vitor Pereira didnt go as planned did play in mediocre tempo and with this tempo being suitable for Fatih Karagumruk the game has felt to be like friendly game with some long time passing but not much being done at front from Fenerbahce apart of last minutes of the game when it did look to find winning goal but even then it did look to be providing pretty simple dissapointing style of game. In fact, to some extend being in the friendly mode game, conceded goal did come in such position as it did such position due of too much relaxation while winning goal did come from penalty. Therefore, Fenerbahce did provide pretty dissapointing game without providing too much pressure to Fatih Karagumruk.

As been noted tempo of the game been more suitable for Fatih Karagumruk and side did show organised game both when being 11-on-11 and 9-to-11 with getting deserved draw for sure.

Fenerbahce hence does provide dissapointing result following Pereira and players seemed to be lacking motivation. 

Trabzonspor won thanks to Cornelius and Cakir

Trabzonspor continues winning at the Super League and gets closer to its title aims as it got from behind of good performing Altay without providing necesarilly good performance.

Trabzonspor didnt provide very good game against Altay, especially during 1st half as it did have trouble into getting full control of the game. In fact, during that period its been Altay which showed an attacking game as Ugurcan Cakir had incredible saves as Cebrayil Karayel shot could be hardly saved from any goalkeeper in the world. Why Cakir has been main reason for keeping side in the game, its been Cornelius who did find goals and did bring win in the game where as been noted it didnt provide very strong confident performance for 90 minutes. Trabzonspor compare to other sides continues winning even when its not providing top game and this been most important reason for getting so much points.

Trabzonspor continues to dominate league and could even win title in middle of spring it continues like this. 

Galatasaray lacks motivation in the league.

Galatasaray continues with showing ineffective performance in the league as it lost to Adana Demirspor thanks to its player Yunus Akgun who scored great 2 goals.

Galatasaray does have issues with showing top level performance in the Super League as it didnt win for 7 games and currently being 21 points from league leaders. More worrying that side doesnt seem to be highly motivated as even through it does create some opportunities and even get control of the ball, it does have issues with converting effectively which could be connected to focus of the player rather then quality. Meanwhile, Yusuf Akgun who is been loaned from Galatasaray does send important message to his side showing how its important to look after and use its academy players effectively.

Galatasaray certainly would be out of title race with such point difference and it needs to figure it out why is it so.
