What happened in Turkish football today? 16/04/2023



Trabzonspor wanted to get win much more when looking with 2nd half performances.

Turkish Super League 29th week anticipated game between Trabzonspor and Besiktas has been ended with goalless draw as this result would affect more negatively as Istanbul side needed win but it needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor has been closer side for a win.

It needs to be mentioned that both sides did provide pretty passive, ineffective and high number of mistakes during 1st half of the game which led for low tempo of the game to the extend that there was no additional time, big rarity in the Super League. If there was expectation for some changes in tempo and psychology of the game, due of position of Besiktas which only had one choice to stay at the title race, which was to win, it turned out to be quite opposite. In all fairness, Besiktas did get some very good chances and could have scored even more goals, but all of this attacks did come from counter-attack. It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas defence had also problems with creating good performance as Trabzonspor with rising tempo did create some very good chances in duration of 2nd half. Without doubt, best player of the Besiktas has been Mert Muldur who did make some important saves which prevented him side to lose.

As been noted, it would need to be mentioned that both sides did provide very poor performance but if looking with 2nd half performance, it could be stated that Trabzonspor has been better side. Trabzonspor did provide much more agressive chances with creating some very good chances but couldnt overpass Trabzonspor defence but most importantly Mert Muldur. It has been noted on our blog day before, that Trabzonspor could have be much more motivated for this game and this has been seen during 2nd half. Therefore, it could be noted that its been looking for number of chances and has been much better close to win. Therefore, this motivation of playing against big clubs which it tend to show good performance all the time and also to provide present to its supporters at home ground in sense of prestige.

As been noted, Trabzonspor did want to get win much more when looking at 2nd half as it was bit less pressure at the title race as it is been out of it and also playing at home to provide some good result for its fans at such poor season did provide motivation to team.

Fenerbahce showed strong persistance and character.

Fenerbahce without doubt has shown strong character in the last 20 minutes game against Ankaragucu with counting an additional time of 2nd half as it has scored 2 goals after getting behind 1:0 and hence preventing loss of points which could cost them title. 

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce didnt show very good performance prior to that as only player which did show some high level performance has been Arda Guler during 1st half and also it did drop into performance during 2nd half with Ankaragucu with one moment did get full control and did get well deserved goal on 81st minute from Ali Sowe, but following that moment Fenerbahce did show some reaction and with getting penalty goal from Enner Valencia, it did raise its performance and has found a winning goal with Miguel Crespo. Even through winning in such manner did provide crucial scare to players and fans, winning in such manner for sure would provide some positive impact in upcoming games.

With title going away possibly on 82nd minute, Fenerbahce did important motivation for upcoming games and send message to Galatasaray.

Atletico Madrid interested to sign Gedson Fernandes.

One of the main transfer rumours which has been going on in Turkish sports media has been rumour that Atletico Madrid are showing an interest with Besiktas player Gedson Fernandes.

Fernandes did play against Atletico Madrid for first 45 minutes during fundraising game for earthquake in Istanbul where he also scored 1s goal during game and generally did provide good performance and without doubt this performance did provide strong impression to head coach Simeone and club administrators. It needs to be mentioned that Gedson Fernandes is playing player which could provide very strong performance and still has lots of potential so it should be seen quite naturally for such interest from Spanish big club. It is likely that club would make some action prior and during of summer transfer window.

As always, our page would follow all developments in this matter as Atletico Madrid could provide some serious actions towards player.
