What happened in Turkish football today? 20/04/2023



Nenad Bjelica openning game has been ended with devastating loss.

Trabzonspor head coach Nenad Bjelica did come out to his 1st game and without doubt he wanted to start new chapter for himself and for club with a win but got instead devastating outcome of 4:1 as Sivasspor has shown positive game after getting behind.

Foremost, it is here important to note that blame of this results and performance should not be given to Nenad Bjelica as he did come out to the game with only being both in Turkey in 2 days and also 1 training session and also would be difficult to provide some criticism. It needs to be mentioned meanwhile that Trabzonspor did start game at high note with getting some chances and did find goal on 11th minute as Lazar Markovic did find 1st goal at his new club. But as game progressed, Trabzonspor reduced its performance while Sivasspor has provided much more agressive performance and did look for some chances. It needs to be mentioned that criticism could be given towards players as players should have shown much more reactive game and take into personal responsibility which it didnt do during whole game.

Sivasspor did come to the game against opponent which had some issues with confidence and did come with coach who has been in position for 1-game and also being close to relegation zone it needed to get win urgently and it did this outcome with providing right agressive performance and scored 4 goals.

Trabzonspor continues showing an ineffective game even with appointment of Bjelica but as been noted he doesnt get any blame and in fact thanks to this game has been able to identify issues directly from viewing with naked eye.

Fenerbahce are fighting until end for title.

Fenerbahce has got an important win against Basaksehirspor with finding 2 important last minute goals and has kept its title chances arrive with reducing point different with Galatasaray to 6 points once again.

It needs to be mentioned however that Fenerbahce didnt provide necessarily very good performance until 87th minute as it did concede goal in pretty simple position with mistake from Samet Akaydin to which it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce didnt make reaction for rest of the 1st half. But it needs to be mentioned that Jorge Jesus is capable to provide needed motivation and also fighting spirit from side as it did provide everything to find goals during 2nd half with providing enough pressure into Basaksehirspor which did pay back with 2 goals, as also red card from opponent did also provide an important advantage to side. Hence, it could be noted that Fenerbahce is not necesarilly providing very good performance in the field but this fighting spirit to win game is playing an important role for last 2 weeks.

Hence, Fenerbahce does provide an important message to Galatasaray and everyone else that it has no intention to get out from its race for title as we enter to criticial weeks.

Fenerbahce opened case against Timur for providing secretive transfer negotiations info regarding Zaniolo.

As it is known, fight between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are not only taking place at the Super League but also outside of football field as Fenerbahce has announced that it has opened crimincal case against Erden Timur for his statement regarding contract offer from Fenerbahce to Nicolo Zaniolo.

With providing detailed information about Fenerbahce offer towards then Roma player Zaniolo, Fenerbahce believes that Erden Timur is acting against fair competition rule and does provide secretive information without club permission and also with showing some bad will in such actions. It also noted that same case has been send to FIFA. It needs to be mentioned that Erden Timur statement in the end of the March at Turkish news channel has been given to provide information how it has made deal with player while Fenerbahce but it was given without permission from club so it does look Fenerbahce does have case in this matter.

Hence, this case has been seen as another chapter into ongoing tensions which we are seeing between clubs during this season.
