What happened in Turkish football today? 21/03/2022



Fenerbahce is focussed into getting 2nd spot.

Fenerbahce has reduced point difference with Konyaspor to 2 points as it has won its direct opponent for 2nd spot with providing top level performance during 2nd half and has deserved game for sure.

In fact, Fenerbahce didnt lose for 5 games with taking account that it did play with strong opponents and such positive transformation could be related for Ismail Kartal which changed positively mentality of the players. Fenerbahce did provide especially during 2nd half an attacking high tempo game which led them not only show strong comeback from 1:0 scoreline but also being one dominating side even through it needs to be admitted that performance from Konyaspor did also affect to Fenerbahce positive game. With such result Fenerbahce without doubt would be having good national team break as it would be waiting to win rest of the 8 weeks left during this season and end season as runners-up position, while Konyaspor would need to focus to show strong reaction after this loss.

Fenerbahce has set an eye for 2nd spot as it proven that with level side is performing right now in the league for sure.

Galatasaray mentally ended season.

Galatasaray following loss to Barcelona at Europa League and hence relegation from tournament had without doubt negative impact to Gaziantep game as side would be ending season without any targets and aims.

Without doubt Galatasaray did come to the Gaziantep game in difficult physical and psychological condition which did affect partly into performance even through side did get some opportunities and got in fact into lead with Gomis goal but couldnt stop Gaziantep player Maxim during 2nd half. It does need to mention that protest towards referee from Galatasaray towards Kerem Akturkoglu position is being rightfully as player did go harshly which would be at least yellow card but interestingly referee didnt even give foul. Still, it is  hard to note that Galatasaray would get win even with this position as it did break during 2nd half and that factor has been used by Gaziantep which did show improvement on their part and found 3 goals.

Galatasaray has ended season as it looks to be safe from relegation for sure and would have difficulty to focus into upcoming games.

Mehmet Sepil resigns as Goztepe CEO 

Goztepe CEO Mehmet Sepil has resigned from his post after 8 years of taking that position which does rise possibility of Roman Abramovich rumour of buying club which been circulating on 19th March both in British and Turkish media.

It needs to be stated forefront that even through Goztepe is having poor season, Mehmet Sepil did have good period at the club which led side to get into Super League and also show some good performance with some good transfers but occasionally failing to show result. Now, with Roman Abramovich future at Chelsea is being over for certain due of Russian invasion to Ukraine and also Turkey taking neutral stance of this conflict despite of being NATO member and hence no sanctions towards Russia is leaving open door for Abramovich. With taking account into what condition been Chelsea when Abramovich bought them in 2003, this could lead to some changes into club if he buys it.

This is uncertain rumour however but with Mehmet Sepil resigning after 2 days of this rumour coming out does raise some speculations.
