What happened in Turkish football today? 08/01/2022



Galatasaray looked to be more organised on field compare to Fenerbahce.

Galatasaray has got unexpectedly confident win against Fenerbahce with 3:0 scoreline partly due of strongly organised and forward-seeking performance from Galatasaray and Fenerbahce not showing an effective game during whole game.

Galatasaray despite of being leaders prior to the game and having 1 more point then opponents, it was expected for Fenerbahce to provide lots of problems and did come out as favourites. However, when coming to performance at the field, Galatasaray has looked to be more organised and more known how to perform. It needs to be mentioned that when game has started in similar performance between both sides but Galatasaray has got into more control around 10 minutes and has controlled game in following minutes, especially two goals which been disallowed before an openning goal likely has been provided confidence and motivation. As game progressed, Galatasaray started finding chances, scoring goals and has provided full control of the game with Mauro Icardi once again showed his star level as entering to the field he both assisted Akturkoglu and finding his own goal which decided scoreline.

Fenerbahce meanwhile has continued providing ineffective performance against his direct opponents and didnt find goals during this league against other big 4 clubs and hence it became clear that sadly Jorge Jesus fails to find an effective tactical game in those games and possibly needs to go through some revisions at the side. Fenerbahce hence needs to go through this game to recognize things which didnt go well among other games against big 4 clubs. One of the worrying aspect for Fenerbahce is that among of not finding goal and conceding 3 goals, is that it is uncapable showing an effective game and provide its strength in this game and looked like side which has accepted its destiny in the middle of 2nd half and not showing much reaction to which club would need to find solution. 

Galatasaray hence got a confident win with being much better side and hence got 4 point difference against its closest oponent and has won 7 games back-to-back and hence got control while Fenerbahce would need ot study while its struggles against big clubs.

Weghorst farewell to supporters has overshadowed Besiktas win.

Besiktas has managed to get an important win against Kasimpasa even through its been difficult game especially during 2nd half and also been dominated by Wout Weghorst unexpectedly sending fairwell to supporters after scoring a goal. 

Besiktas without doubt did come out to the game with an aim to win back-to-back wins and also keep themselves close to the top of the table and did start game in such manner with showing an attacking and aggressive game and hence finding relatively an early goal thanks to the Cenk Tosun goal which did come from confusion regarding of 2 players getting treatment on side. However, highlight of the game has been farewell message which been send to Wout Weghorst as there were strong rumours that he would be joining to Manchester United, as Burnley did make deal with English giant side. Returning to the game, Besiktas has once again had decline of performance during 2nd half with Kasimpasa finding a goal and also continuing providing pressure to Besiktas goal, with Mert Gunok playing most important role for keeping scoreline with 2:1 scoreline.

Its been important for Besiktas to get win back-to-back but it would need to improve its performance and also provide game for 90 minutes if it wants to fight for title.

Trabzonspor aims to get an away win

Trabzonspor would be aiming to get back-to-back wins at the Super League and hence keep its leadership race arrive as it would be playing against Alanyaspor which does show sometimes good game.

It could be stated that in recent weeks we are seeing Trabzonspor which does show some unstable performance as it does strong confident game in some games and in other games tends to be way below its expected level, which is especially seen at away games. In here, its most important for Trabzonspor to start having some good performance at away games as it doesnt seem to be having an issue at home. Hence, this game does provide good opportunity to start good home performance but it would be aware that Alanyaspor is not expected to provide some easy game for opponent and would be playing some organising defence game and aim to have some successful counter attacks which it is capable to do without doubt. 

Hence, Trabzonspor will be motivated to get an important win but they would need to show strong organised game to achieve against tough opponent.
