What happened in Turkish football today? 09/01/2023



Trabzonspor has got humuliating loss to Alanyaspor with 5:0 scoreline

Trabzonspor has got highly unexpected loss from Alanyaspor with 5:0 scoreline and hence has conceded 9 goals in last 2 away games and more worryingly it didnt show anything during whole game with letting opponent to control game.

Trabzonspor has looked very slow and unreactionary towards game against Alanyaspor for 90 minutes and didnt show any reaction after conceding goals with players looking to be having lack of concentration, motivation and confidence during this game. This has led for whole team to perform in such manner including goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir who did lack of concentration and let for Alanyaspor to score 5 goals. With such performance there is rising questions if there are some issues at the title holders and head coach Abdullah Avci have some issues at motivating and pushing team forward. It needs to be mentioned also that statistically Trabzonspor did provide pretty good performance but there were not able to convert those good number into game as they didnt provide much creativity with ball and didnt provide much of the chances in the opponent goal.

Alanyaspor meanwhile has shown very strong performance and has turned out its performance following previous game loss to Kasimpasa as it has shown very good performance at defence and also has shown an effective attacking game which led them to find 5 goals against title holders regardless how poor they were. This win would provide strong confidence for upcoming games without doubt.

Trabzonspor are showing total difference of performance comparing to previous season especially at away games and it would need to solve those issues as soon as it can if it wants to stay at the leadership race.

Galatasaray has dominated game in all aspects.

Galatasaray has got a confident win against Fenerbahce at away game in pretty surprising manner as it controlled whole game and provided high amount of pressure towards Fenerbahce and not letting to play they own game. 

Galatasaray it needs to be mentioned did do its homework in perfect manner as Okan Buruk has studied performance of the Fenerbahce during this season and rightfully identified both strenghts and weaknesses and has explained them to players. With players hence converting this into field entirely has led for performance which led them to get such confident win. It has been important for Galatasaray to get win in this game, as despite of 6-game winning form and also being leaders in the league, they been seen as underdogs. However, things has turned totally upside down as Galatasaray did look more confident and motivated to game. In addition, Mauro Icardi role in last 15 minutes which has been enough for him to be seen by many as man of the game with assist and goal shows how crucial he is to the team.

Galatasaray hence did show confident game on the field and has got motivational and confidence boost for rest of the season without doubt.

Fenerbahce doesnt have alternative tactical game.

If Galatasaray has shown very strong performance against Fenerbahce, exact opposite could be stated regarding Fenerbahce as it didnt look to be fresh, creative and providing any pressure to opponents.

It should be noted that similar factors has been case at the Trabzonspor game few weeks ago and also generally during when Fenerbahce is playing against other top games. Fenerbahce which been praised a lot prior to World Cup 2022,is now being criticised quite rightfully. Fenerbahce did have actually plan to the game which been same which been used by Jorge Jesus during previous games, but an issue in here is that opponents are aware of this style of game. An issue with new coaches in long seasons is that tactics which tend to be noval to the league tend to work until opponents dont solve how to stop this. When they do, there is need to have alternative tactical plays which is absent right now at the Fenerbahce. Or otherwise it would continue to lose points and finds itself get further from title chances.

Fenerbahce head coach Jorge Jesus expects his responsibility for this loss, but now he needs to find ways how to win games in such level.
