What happened in Turkish football today? 07/04/2023



Fenerbahce showed good reaction against Kayserispor.

Fenerbahce has managed to show strong reaction game against Kayserispor following dramatic loss to Besiktas in the league as it has beaten opponent at Turkish Cup with 4:1 scoreline despite of high number of protests given by supporters.

Fenerbahce did come out to game against Kayserispor with an aim to show reaction and send also message to Turkish football community and hence it needs to be mentioned that Kayserispor has been unlucky to meet them in this period. It needs to be stated that apart of first 20 minutes, Fenerbahce did control game and has been one creating chances and hence converting some key chances and possibly even be able to score goals. To all respect of Kayserispor and its willingness, it has needed to state that main opponent during this game has been its own fans who has shown unhappiness and protests to team following loss to Besiktas and hence making their title hopes slightly more difficult. This game on field has also been good performance for Serdar Dursun, Emre Mor and Ezgjan Alioski  who have gained some confidence and motivation.

Fenerbahce does get to semi-final of Turkish Cup and would be meeting Sivasspor on that round as it is seen on paper number one favourite to win cup.

Kayserispor become tired and demotivated too early against Fenerbahce.

Kayserispor on their part did have very good start of the game as it has played on same level as Fenerbahce for around 20 minutes but afterwards has lost concentration and had signs of tiredness.

Following game, Kayserispor head coach Cagdas Atan has admitted that he made mistake expecting for players to be energised and needed to make some rotation, but it needs to be stated that he did have limited players compare to big clubs. Still, it was clear that Kayserispor did come out for a win as could be seen from fast equaliser goal on 19th minute, 10 minute after conceding. But as it has conceded goals and signs of tiredness started to come out it has reduced its performance and had some difficult times at game. 

Therefore, it would be unfair to criticise unwillingness of players to win game but sign of tiredness and being demotivated as game progressed had affected outcome.

Trabzonspor are coming out to formality game against Kasimpasa.

Trabzonspor would be coming out to Kasimpasa with Ihsan Derelioglu taker caretaker role coaching role of the team would be playing formality games in last 11 weeks of the league.

With loss to Ankaragucu at Turkish Cup, Trabzonspor has ended season in more or less a month and half before it would be over and would be coming out to game without much aims. Surely Trabzonspor players would be coming out on field against Kasimpasa wanting to win but there would not be motivational boost during game and hence we could be seeing low tempo from both sides who doesnt have much aims. Kasimpasa could also see this an opportunity to get win against top side and hence could be looking for some chances.

Trabzonspor as been noted would be coming to formality and this might affect its quality for upcoming games including against Kasimpasa.
