What happened in Turkish football today? 25/02/2022



Trabzonspor made another important step for title with great comeback from 2:0

Trabzonspor has got 3:2 win against in-form Kayserispor with showing great comeback as it was losing with 0:2 scoreline after 1st half with showing incredible fighting spirit on 2nd half after poor 1st half.

In fact it needs to be noted that Trabzonspor did show pretty ineffective game during 1st half which in one point has been seen sign of side getting relaxed with having such strong advantage in the title race but in same time been surprising taking account it did play at home with expected strong support from own fans. With taking account that Kayserispor didnt lose for last 10 games, it did show strong attacking game using advantage of poor game from opponent. However, Trabzonspor has turned around entirely during 2nd half with possible angry but same time motivational talk from head coach Abdullah Avci during 2nd half. It did get goals back-to-back from Trabzonspor thanks to the Visca and Djaniny goal which led side to get into last 30 minutes with 2:2 which already been strong achievement when taking account it was losing with 2:0 scoreline. With Kayserispor showing more focussed defensive game and also creating some opportunities it did look like it would end with draw, but Trabzonspor did get penalty on last minute which led for win from Nwakaeme in such well-fought comeback.

It needs to be mentioned however, Kayserispor which as been mentioned did come with very good form has shown in 1st half and some moments on 2nd half why its been leaders. Right now, Trabzonspor is being tough opponent Kayserispor did show good performance and would be expected to continue strong game if it doesnt demoralised from this loss.

Trabzonspor got very important win and make another step for title, and with 14 points advantage and 11 weeks left each point would be huge step for title.

Fenerbahce is showing ineffective and slow game.

Fenerbahce even through did lose game with 3:2 scoreline and scoreline does provide view that it has been close game as was with 1st leg game, it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce actual performance has been pretty ineffective with Slavia Prague controlling game.

One of the most important issues with Fenerbahce during recent games including against Slavia Prague that it tend to possess ball but has issues with showing high tempo game with effective attacking game. Fenerbahce didnt provide any performance which would provide some pressure to Slavia even through it is likely to be feeling one until it has scored on 19th minute. Fenerbahce right now hence only is being competing at Super League and even through it can do some maths for top 4 spot which would bring in worst scenario bring them to Conference League spot, it is continuing showing ineffective game and hence doesnt provide much hope. Therefore, it could be stated that club has ended its season mentally and doesnt provide much hope for rest of the season.

Fenerbahce wasnt able to be fully focussed into this 2-legs and continued to be showing poor game which it shown domestically.

Besiktas needs to show much more effective game agaisnt Sivasspor.

Besiktas will be meeting with one of the toughest opponent Sivasspor as it has set an eye to top 4 spot to get at least Conference League but with recent performance there is some negative view.

Even through Besiktas did win against Altay on previous game it is difficult to state that it did show very effective game against opponent which is being in pretty poor form both physically and mentally. One of the main focuses for Besiktas would be for sure to get wins back-to-back, be more effective in attacks and not losing concentration in last minutes of the game if it wants to get win and it needs to be noted that Sivasspor is being opponent which could provide some issues to Sivasspor. In fact, Sivasspor is likely is aware of this weak parts of opponent and would provide pressure according to this.

Besiktas is showing ineffective performance in recent weeks and it would need to show strong reaction to this in upcoming weeks.
