Teddy bear campaign has been much more memorable than game.
Besiktas has found itself even much further from league leaders after it has drawn against Antalyaspor and currently is being 14 points behind Galatasaray with equal amount of games. Both sides didnt provide an impressive game as highlight has been for supporters through teddy bears which would send to children affected by earthquake.
It needs to be mentioned that all players right now are coming to the games in pretty psychological burden as devastating earthquake in Kahramanmaras and Hatay of 7.6 and 7.7 has affected mentally to everyone. So, this could have affected to the level of performance but it needs to be mentioned with all honesty, that level of Turkish Super League has not been very high before that. Therefore, in such inactive game from both sides, good will from supporters throwing teddy bears onto field which would send later to children affected from earthquake would be most memorable event. Therefore, it could be mentioned that goodwill and togetherness has won in the end of the day.
Regardless of emotional condition of the game, it needs to be mentioned Besiktas has been side at decline and in fact Senol Gunes record is not much better than Valerien Ismael making clear that issue might not be with coaches.
Alanyaspor has appointed Ersun Yanal for 1.5 years.
Alanyaspor has appointed Ersun Yanal for 1.5 years after its head coach Francisco Farioli has announced that he would resign from his post in unexpected manner as it is reported he wanted to spend with his family back in Italy.
Even through there could be some arguments that Farioli style of game is not being very suitable for Super League, he still has shown some good performance with positive gameplay and did get some good results during his stay especially at Turkish Cup. With all respect to Ersun Yanal, there is possibility that team would lose such open performance and go much more defensive but there is possibility it could show some good results despite of that. Yanal did work with this team in previous years and is aware of aims and targets of the team and hence he would be able to focus on them and it needs to be mentioned that he does have good squad in his hand.
Hence, Ersun Yanal is being good appointment for Alanyaspor even through he might not show similar results as did Farioli in start.
Reaction from some fans towards government has raised tension
During this weekend games, there has been lots of controversy between Fenerbahce and Besiktas supporters with government as former has shown their anger due of government incapacities during earthquake in their view.
It needs to be mentioned that Nationalist Movement Party(MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli, who is being into union with ruling party did mention that some actions needs to be done towards this supporters or games should be played without supporters. Politically, there are many issues which could be discussed here but we would not get too much into it. However, it needs to be mentioned that in democratic country and according to constitution fans as everyone else has right to express opinion. Only issue which could be mentioned is timing as Turkey still goes through such difficult time. Also, it needs to be mentioned that many clubs showing reaction towards this activity, seem to "confuse" state and government with each other.
This are being sensible time, and many parts of body need to show calmness and not raise too much tension both fans and government.
