What happened in Turkish football today? 10/11/2023



Trabzonspor continues its winning streak as it beats struggling Konyaspor

Trabzonspor has won 2nd game back-to-back this time beating struggling Konyaspor with 2:1 scoreline as it showed confident and strong organising game which as been known strongest sign of Abdullah Avci but it needs to be stated that it wasnt an easy win.

Trabzonspor it needs to be stated did have good start of the game with getting control of the ball and has been looked to providing game which was focussed into patient and controllable game rather than dominating game as Avci tries to make defensive line stronger. It needs to be stated that Konyaspor did get some chances during game which does show that Trabzonspor would need to improve on. Meanwhile, it has been important for Paul Onuachu to score 2 goals which did bring win for the team as he has bought as main attacker and since he did have some decline for some weeks could have affected his morale but during this game team did use his strong side pretty effectively. It also needs to state that opponent did equalise before Onuachu winning goal and hence its been important for Trabzonspor which tend to show unstable performance to bounce back in such strong manner. 

Konyaspor meanwhile did also come out in poor form and does look for improving its performance with its new coach Hakan Keles and it did show some positive aspects of the team but did fail to use its chances in more effective manner. Hakan Keles certainly would need to focus into some areas during international team break. 

Trabzonspor hence did get an important win against Konyaspor and has started its new winning streak after beating Fenerbahce on previous week and would now focus to improve its performance level during national team break so it can provide better game when league resumes.

Besiktas administration has put too much to Burak Yilmaz.

Besiktas caretaker coach Burak Yilmaz has resigned from his post after losing to Bodo/Glimt and also generally providing poor performance of the team as once again Besiktas supporters with their providing pressure has affected into team.

Looking specifically at Bodo/Glimt and also period of Burak Yilmaz at the Besiktas it should be noted that when looking into tactical game and also working with team it could be thrown blame but appointing himself into such period where he only been having coaching team for only few months could be harsh and to some extend it has been mistake from Besiktas administration to provide so much pressure to such inexperience coach. In fact, Burak Yilmaz didnt think at all that he did become assistant of Senol Gunes where he would be taking such important role as he did join team to get some crucial experience. It would not be right to expect good result from him in such short career. Hopefully, this would not affect him finding job at possible mediocre side at Super League to gain experience.

Meanwhile, Riza Calimbay who has lots of experience and has strong connection with Besiktas, playing there all his professional career, would be able to provide some good result which could go on for permanent stay.

Fenerbahce has decline of performance currently.

Fenerbahce which has been strongly praised at our blog only 7 days ago, did lose 2 games back-to-back and are showing some decline of performance this time losing to Ludogorets at Conference League. 

Without doubt, injuries of defence players and Fred at midfield would have some impact at the team and possibly could lead for side to concede goals. But this doesnt to some extend provide decline of performance at defence. Without doubt, defence has direct impact with how attackers perform as there might be reduce of chances but taking account amount of possession both in Trabzonspor and Ludogorets games, it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce did have some chances. Fenerbahce also had this factor of getting bad results and more important performance back-to-back which tends to be an issue especially with Turkish teams. Right now, team would need to focus towards 3rd place Adana Demirspor as losing those points could affect their race for title and more important provide pressure prior to national team break.

Fenerbahce are not performing as we used for them and they need to get on themselves both from Ismail Kartal and players.
