What happened in Turkish football today? 20/01/2022



Galatasaray is getting closer to relegation zone.

Galatasaray continues losing games back-to-back as it did lose this time to current direct opponent with 3:1 scoreline and finds itself 4 points ahead of Antalyaspor and more importantly of the relegation zone with providing poor performance.

With Gabriel Torrent coming to the team, and with taking account that his job is being very hard since he did join to unfamiliar league to very problematic side, didnt get win and doesnt provide good performance in the last minutes of the games as it did concede during 30 minutes. More worrying players doesnt seem to be taking any upper hand and control of the game which does have direct impact to the performance of the side as it doesnt believe into its own strength. Right now, Galatasaray would be playing against leaders Trabzonspor and noone who has some connection with side could state that it is capable of getting win in such crucial game. Gabriel Torrent showed once again tactically that he has issues with knowing hwo to play this side and character of the league, and still needs time which does run out for club.

Kasimpasa meanwhile did provide very good game with getting well-deserved win with showing positive attacking game and provided much more organised game compare to opponent and shows good signs for upcoming games.

Galatasaray lost another game and finds itself 4 points ahead of relegation which shows that it needs urgently need to find ways to start winning games. 

Trabzonspor couldnt pass Okan Kocuk.

Trabzonspor has drawn against Giresunspor as there was intense battle between Trabzonspor player Bakasetas and Giresunspor goalkeeper Okan Kocuk at which Kocuk has been winner as among saving 2 penalties he did get some important saves.

It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor did have some issues with providing top performance attacking performance during 1st half as game been played at low tempo with leaders having issues to go ahead and did show much more attacking game during 2nd half but too much fast tempo did led Giresunspor to get into counter attack and to score goal even through Giresunspor did score goal with Cornelius later responding. Trabzonspor towards end did get 2 opportunities to score goal in the end of the game but Bakasetas didnt manage to pass in Okan Kocuk who has been player of the game. Meanwhile, Trabzonspor are showing loss of points with drawing 3 points during 4 games, and even through does 9 point advantage over Konyaspor with extra game it needs to find ways to win games.

Trabzonspor start losing points and it needs to stop this as soon as it can if it doesnt want to have unwanted final of the season.

Fenerbahce got motivational boost after Altay win.

Fenerbahce did get win against Altay which without doubt would provide important motivation and confidence foremost and let Ismail Kartal to get closer of his aims.

Even through Fenerbahce does get some unwanted and poor results for last games, it still did come out as confident favourite against Altay which are in worst form and did look to be going into bigger decline in recent weeks which could be seen during 2nd half where Altay gave up game when score went into 1:1 and allowed Fenerbahce to get full control of the game which it managed to do so. Irfan Can Kahveci has become best player of the game with scoring a goal on 37th minute and providing top level game to Serdar Dursun and hence without doubt did provide his best game since joining this side. Hopes for top spot is being low for Fenerbahce right now but it did get needed motivation for keeping its chances for European spots for next season arrive.

Fenerbahce hence got important motivational boost for upcoming games and would help Ismail Kartal focus more into tactics rather then psychology.
