Both Besiktas and Antalyaspor didnt do much to win game
Turkish Super League 14th week postponed game between Antalyaspor and Besiktas has ended with goalless draw as game has been played in pretty low tempo and both sides didnt get any upper hand at the attacking game due of showing any quality game.
The game has been played in very low tempo as both sides didnt look to be providing some chances and had an issue with getting into opportunities as players has not been motivated and concentrated to the game. It needs to be mentioned that both side didnt use its mid-transfer window as both sides did come with squad with November excluding players which were sold. It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas has been better side during 90 minutes when looking statistically and has been side which did create some opportunities but surely it wasnt enough for side to get win. Only positive aspect of the game has been pre-game action from Besiktas supporters where supporters has shown teddy bears which would been send to childen affected from earthquake at Kahramanmaras and Hatay.
Antalyaspor did come out to the game with high number of absences especially in the attack and as Besiktas didnt use its players which were signed during this mid-season and hence couldnt provide much creativity in the attcks. Antalyaspor needs to improve its performance upcoming games if it doesnt want to find itslef at relegation scare in last weeks.
With those outcome Besiktas is being 14 points behind league leaders Galatasaray and with being out of Turkish Cup are being club without aim and this could have some negative impact to concentration for rest of the season.
Fenerbahce got an easy confident win against Konyaspor.
Fenerbahce has got confident and pretty easy win against Konyaspor during Super League postponed 23rd week game and did look not to be much affected from earthquake break in physical sense.
Without doubt, Fenerbahce task for getting 3 point in such manner has become much easier after 2 yellow cards of Mame Diouf on 22nd minute but it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce would have won game as it was leading game with penalty kick from Enner Valencia some minutes before Diouf being sending off. Meanwhile, with Valencia goal from penalty and also later great goal at the end of the 1st half has led him to score 22nd goal and continue to play an important role with attackers in this season. This win is not good reference since Konyaspor didnt provide much reference point but without doubt provided confidence and motivation in its title race and also upcoming Europa League games against Sevilla.
Fenerbahce has been showing much more better game compare to opponents and hence did get an important confidence boost with 4:0 scoreline.
Togetherness among clubs should carry on even after earthquake.
Togetherness, which has been started during earthquake period among Turkish clubs and also at Conference League game between Trabzonspor and Basel among big 4 clubs, has been continued in the league as club CEO has visited to Fenerbahce and Besiktas games.
Turkish football during recent years, and in fact including just days before devastating earthquake has happened,there was lots of tension but as soon as earthquake has happened all this hatred has been stopped and we have saw action of being together and sign that clubs could have friendly relationship outside of footballing field and not forgetting about competition in the field. Now all clubs CEOs need to focus that this friendship among clubs would carry on continue in upcoming period.
This togetherness of common good should carry on among clubs and this understanding and friendly connection should carry on and not only during earthquake period.
