Fenerbahce got crucial 3 points even if it didnt show great game
Fenerbahce has got an important win against Alanyaspor with 3:1 scoreline at the week which Galatasaray did lose 3 points and hence has reduced point difference prior to national team break to 6 points with game in hand.
Even through Fenerbahce did get without doubt a very important win against Alanyaspor, it didnt provide very good performance especially during 1st half as game has been played at low tempo, stoppages and uncreativity by both sides. It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce did come out without doubt for win and Alanyaspor did provide strong defensive game with anti-football touches at the field but Fenerbahce needed to find more chances. To some extend starting 11 has also affected as Jorge Jesus has made an important rotation but it didnt turn around as positive as they were not players who had creativity to transform game against such defence.With introduction of Emre Mor, Miha Zajc and Joshua King did provide much more stronger game with providing much pressure. Its true that Fenerbahce did get ahead thanks to Enner Valencia penalties but those chances happened with Fenerbahce providing much more pressure.
Coming to Alanyaspor, it has provided very anti-football game on its field and even through it does prevent opponent to have high amount of chances, a factor that it is incapable to provide its own game means it would struggle when going behind, area which it needs to be focus at national team break.
Fenerbahce hence is being 6 points behind Galatasaray with game in hand which means that Fenerbahce had raised its chances at title race significantly.
Besiktas got win due of great 3 goals.
Besiktas continues its winning run at league to 3 games after beating Istanbulspor with 3:1 socreline and has reduced point difference with league leaders to Galatasaray to 11 points as opponent last earlier this week.
It needs to be mentioned that despite of confident result to some extend, Besiktas didnt provide full dominance of the game and didnt provide too much pressure to an opponent which is currently is showing confident performance which did also affect to its mentality of the game. In fact, Besiktas didnt create high number of the chances with finding 3 goals due of quality factor as it needs to be mentioned that all 3 goals did come with individual effort. This could be seen without doubt as positive factor to some extend as it does show that it could find goals at times when game-wise thinks are not going well but this without doubt would not always bring needed wins.
Besiktas did get confidence and motivation prior international team break as it needs to focus into how to perform performance at the field among getting wins.
Jorge Jesus controversial statement is not actually new in Turkish football community
Fenerbahce head coach Jorge Jesus following Europa League game against Sevilla has made a statement that in this country games are not being won at the field but outside of field which actively discussed at Turkish football for long time.
Even through location where this statement and timing could be questioned as it is unclear why he made this statement after Europa League, statement itself is a factor which been highly discussed by Turkish football community. There has been discussion about match-fixing and referee factors for long time before match-fixing scandal with some CEOs admitting doing it back in 80s and early 90s. So, even through it did raise tension and without doubt arguments, possibly with ending friendship air between clubs set after earthquake, there is truth in this statements and it does look like Jorge Jesus did find out that he would need to compete with outside field factors also.
Jorge Jesus did state what been highly discussed at Turkish football and even through it did take some time for him to be aware.
