What happened in Turkish football today? 24/02/2022



Fenerbahce lacked fighting spirit against Slavia Prague.

Fenerbahce has been relegated from Europa Conference League with an aggregate 6:4 scoreline as it lost 2nd leg with same scoreline and also to some extend has provided similar performance as they did during 1st leg.

Rather then scoring an early goal it has been one which has conceded 2 goals in duration of 30 minutes which mentally and on tie has led to advantage of Slavia Prague and hence led for opposition to provide much more calm and confident performance. It needs to be noted however that Fenerbahce did start game with controlling ball but did lack showing high concentration with creating dangerous opportunities with still slow tempo game even through ball been on the field. In fact, scoreline in overall shouldnt led viewers to be confused because Slavia Prague has controlled game from start to an end. Fenerbahce as it tends to be for most of the time didnt provide that fighting spirit which it urgently needed even through it could be stated that players did give their best to win game but tactically there were some issues. With been relegated from Conference League it could be not that all targets for Fenerbahce has ended even through it still can fight for top 4 spot which would bring them qualifier for this tournament.

Slavia Prague to some extend didnt start in manner which they wanted with providing some tense game at defence but with finding 2 goals did get deserved ticket to last 16 stage as it been better side for 2 games.

Fenerbahce continues its poor performance and now would have difficulty to compete season which it doesnt have any aims.

Trabzonspor expects to get win against Kayserispor.

Trabzonspor would continue its confident road to the Super League title against Kayserispor as it would be coming out to the game as confident favourite with having high motivation, confidence and belief that it would be getting title this season.

With having 14 point advantage from 2nd spot Konyaspor, Trabzonspor doesnt being felt under pressure from its opponents and only possible danger it might have is from getting into title which they didnt win for 26 years. However, previous 2 games did show that Trabzonspor is being fully relaxed as side especially with win against Alanyaspor as it is likely once again to provide strong pressure to Kayserispor from first minute of the game and looking for an early goal to be scored which would also reduce pressure. Kayserispor meanwhile doesnt provide poor performance during recent weeks but still when looking into quality of side, Trabzonspor has an upper hand.

Hence, Trabzonspor would be expected to get win if Kayserispor doesnt provide enough strong pressure and would get closer for its title aims.

Yeni Malatyaspor has terminated contract with Adem Buyuk.

Yeni Malatyaspor has announced that it has terminated contract with its player and caretaker coach Adem Buyuk who didnt provide much change of performance wise at his new spot with also playing side.

It would be expected that this decision been made at mutual agreement since it would been difficult without doubt for Adem Buyuk to help side to get further from last spot in such short period of time as being coach first time in his career and also coming on the field as he did last weekend game. With condition which Yeni Malatyaspor is at it does need much more experienced coach to take this spot who in advantage would be experienced to keep sides in the top of the league and very likely it would be looking now for one.

Appointing Adem Buyuk was big risk from start and such experiment did turn around with big success for club at the end of the day.
