What happened in Turkish football today? 06/01/2023



Trabzonspor looked nervous until scoring 2nd goal against Giresunspor.

Trabzonspor has got an important win against Giresunspor during Super League 17th week game with 3:0 scoreline and continues its important undefeated run in the league keeping its title race arrive.

Trabzonspor it needs to be mentioned did start game at worrying matter as loss would mean that it would find itself outside of title race and also it has felt under pressure following loss to Fatih Karagumruk during previous week. Therefore, it did play with pressure which did exist even after scoring goal during 1st half and has been reduced after scoring its 2nd goal during game and has start to providing much more effective performance with better passing. Therefore, Trabzonspor when being relaxed did show much more effective game but in overall didnt show very good performance for 90 minutes and does provide worries for future game. 

Trabzonspor has managed to stay at the title race but it would be feeling under pressure as any loss in future could lead them chances too low and it also needs to improve its performance if it wants to get winning run.

Besiktas will play against highly-motivated Kasimpasa.

Besiktas would be coming out against Kasimpasa during Super League as it did regain confidence following win against Adana Demirspor just before new year while Kasimpasa did get its first win with Selcuk Inan being head coach in confident manner.

Besiktas has also an important advantage as it didnt play during previous season at the league, it had time to get prepared for this game for more than week while Kasimpasa only had 3 days and hence it would be feeling much more fresh and also improve with its recent performance. It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas did show very promising against in-form Adana Demirspor but it did play against side which hasn't been on their best day. It could be tough game for them as it would be playing against side which is being in high confidence and motivation form from last week but despite that Besiktas are being favourites.

Besiktas hence are coming out as favourites against Kasimpasa but its opponent would try its best to win game without doubt.

Halil Umut Meler has been appointed to Fenerbahce and Galatasaray game

Highly-experienced and respected referee Halil Umut Meler has been appointed as referee for Fenerbahce and Galatasaray derby game which is expected to be played under high pressure and nervousness.

With so many referee criticism and also towards VAR going around in Turkish football community, this appointment could be seen as most logical as it would be given to probably most experienced referee who is capable to take such pressure during game. Halil Umut Meler quality could be seen from factor that he has been appointed to last 3 games between derbies including Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce game. Therefore, Halil Umut Meler has capacity to go through such pressure during such important player as he can be staying calm before, during and after game events which could be thrown from both clubs regarding refereeing.

Halil Umut Meler hence is being right choice when looking into options which are available and TFF did right choice to appoint him.
