What happened in Turkish football today? 05/11/2022



Galatasaray has wanted to win this derby game more and hence got deserved win

Galatasaray has got an important win at home ground in the derby game against Besiktas as it got well-deserved win as it has shown much more attacking game with Mauro Icardi playing most important role with this 2:1 win.

It could be argued that Galatasaray didnt necessarily provided its best performance during this season but compare to Besiktas, it looked to be side which have focussed into an attacking game and did look much more organised in all the field. Without doubt best player both at Galatasaray and whole game has been Mauro Icardi which has scored 2 goals, with 1st one has been into great goals and could even scored 3rd goal as he got into post. Without doubt this has been best performance of Icardi since he has joined. Meanwhile, Galatasaray without doubt did looked highly focussed and organised performance which did play an important role with getting much better chances. It is clear hence that Galatasaray did been prepared for this derby game and used an opportunity with Besiktas losing tempo in the 2nd part of the 2nd half.

Even through Valerien Ismael has left Besiktas on previous week, it has been visible that even through there are some positive signs with Senol Gunes it does look to be having similar issues such as having decline during 2nd half to which Senol Gunes has issues to solve or there is issues of side stamina. Stating that it needs to be mentioned that Besiktas players did look to be pretty willing with creating chances but still did have issues with transition performance for most amount of the time which did lead to lack of chances. In similar manner as in previous week, Cenk Tosun did look to be most willing as he had some good chances and has found an only goal for his side, even through he did overdo it in start of the game as he did provide much more simpler shot, Besiktas might been getting ahead and get control of the side. With Besiktas playing Antalyaspor next week where it would be aiming for 3 weeks, it does look main focus would be for side to raise its performance during World Cup break.

Galatasaray did look much effective in this derby game and has got crucial win against Besiktas and did raise confidence and motivation in upcoming weeks while Besiktas continues to be having same issues which it had with Ismael.

Trabzonspor need to give extra effort against Konyaspor

Trabzonspor are going back to the Super League following relegation from Europa League to very important game against Konyaspor as it would be aiming to get win against opponent which is being above them at the table.

Even through Trabzonspor generally does get result which it seeking for in the league, its performance is being pretty unstable during this season and it could be seeing this game as an opportunity to get motivation prior to World Cup break. Konyaspor tends to struggle against big clubs which to some extend being main reason for getting out from title race, but it still shows some resistance. Therefore, Trabzonspor despite being below in table would be coming as favourites but there would need to provide some extra effort to get that result as Konyaspor would be expected to be tough opponent. Most important for them it would need to show strong and confident game for 90 minutes and be careful at defence and creative in attack.

Trabzonspor are being favourites but it wont be an easy win for sure for them and it would need to give an extra effort for win. 

Napoli are interested to sign Arda Guler

Napoli are reported to be having strong interest with Fenerbahce player Arda Guler who is being one of the main stars of the game and has played key role against Dynamo Kyiv and hence being main reason also for top spot at Europa League group stage.

Meanwhile, Napoli tends to be showing interest for some time at Fenerbahce players with signing Eljif Elmas and Kim Min Jae on previous season, and this time showing some strong interest to new wunderkid of Turkish football Arda Guler. Without doubt, Napoli will not be first and last big club which would be showing interest towards player but it does look like it would be first one to act on it as it wouldnt like to miss such great player. Fenerbahce meanwhile doesnt consider to sell him for small amount of money despite of not playing him a lot, as it sees him as future star player and potential both on field and economically.

Therefore, it would be interesting to see how Arda Guler would unfold as our accounts would follow intensely.
