What happened in Turkish football today? 09/01/2022



Besiktas academy players showed great game

Even through Besiktas did lose 2 points to Rizespor during Super League 20th week game, it needs to be stated that it did provide performance above expectations as it did come heavily with academy player with caretaker coach from them too.

With 10 players not being able to play due of Covid19 positive cases, it needs to be mentioned Besiktas did overpass of its expectations with being side which dominated game looking for high amount of opportunities but couldnt convert many of them due of inexperience even through Batshuayi didnt also converted high amount of the opportunities which does rise question of his conversion rate. Probably one of the crucial gains been scored goal from 17-year old Emirhan Ilkhan did score his first goal during his 1st goal in the Super League so its been positive aspect. However, it did concede 2 simple goal which would need to be focussed on even through this could be expected with such squad.

It needs to be mentioned that Rizespor didnt provide high tempo game even through it did draw scoreline due of simple mistakes at defence and especially goalkeeper.

Besiktas did lose 2 points with showing top level game but performance of youngsters with having so many absences provides hopes for future in the club for sure.

Galatasaray is entering into huge crises.

Galatasaray carries on getting poor results in the domestic league without providing too much pressure as it lost to Giresunspor which led for some crises within side.

Even through Galatasaray keep talking about making project for future of the club with young players and promises to make successful side in the future, poor results during recent weeks without doubt did bring unhappiness and anger from supporters which did come in the end of the game. It  needs to be mentioned that supporters are being right to show such reaction as side did provide very passive game against Giresunspor as it does for long time period in the season. Without doubt Galatasaray is being on high tension and pressure which side needs to find solution in very short period of time.

Galatasaray is being 22 points behind league leaders Trabzonspor and losing each game would provide more or more pressure to the side.

Fenerbahce will have tough game against Adana Demirspor

Fenerbahce is going to start 2022 against Adana Demirspor which promises to be pretty tough game as opponent tend to be in much more confident form.

Fenerbahce did end 2021 in pretty low form and hence it would be focussed to be providing much better start to this calendar year as it still has hopes to end season as runners-up while top spot could be pretty difficult task right now. Adana Demirspor player Mario Balotelli will not be playing due of Covid19 positive test result which would be seen as bad news for them and some opportunity for Fenerbahce as Italian star did show some good performance in recent weeks. Without being coach and not being entirely clear who would be appointed does provide some uneasiness to players for sure.

Fenerbahce would be hence coming out for win but it would be pretty tough game for them.
