What happened in Turkish football today? 13/11/2023



Fenerbahce continue to be showing ineffective performance.

Fenerbahce and Adana Demirspor game has ended with goalless draw as Fenerbahce continues showing an ineffective performance of attackers which has been visible in previous 2 games.

It is true that Fenerbahce did get a point at one of the most toughest away games in the season as Adana Demirspor did win all games at home ground and this in fact did show that performance of Serdar Akaydin and Jayden Oosterwolde has been done in great performance as they were taking place of injured players but same couldnt be stated same for attackers especially taking account that Fenerbahce has been in control of possession and showed some attacking game but lacked dangerous opportunities for 90 minutes. Edin Dzeko, Dusko Tadic and Sebastien Szymanski whose attacking game who has been praised in recent weeks, are showing decline in current period and it does look like they would need to get into concentration once again without doubt. 

Fenerbahce would enter to national team as leaders due of goal difference but there is decline of performance which Ismail Kartal would need to work on and find reasons.

Riza Calimbay wins his 1st team as coach of Besiktas.

Even through performance wise Besiktas does need to improve a lot to show game which supporters and newly-appointed Riza Calimbay seeking for, it was important to get win against Basaksehirspor in coach first game. 

Expecting kind of game which Riza Calimbay would be aiming to show with this team would been too much without doubt as he had only come out only for 1 training session and also had lots of injured players. Stating that it was important to show lots of concentration and focus towards game and it did that. In all fairness, Basaksehirspor lack of showing game which would be providing pressure to Besiktas in attack without doubt has helped Istanbul giant. Besiktas did get an important win in sense on confidence and motivation but now Riza Calimbay would focus game which whole community would seek for during national team break.

Besiktas need to go very far to provide strong performance and in return to get good result and it would need lots of patience but Calimbay has capacity to slow get that team on that level.

Emre Kocadag will not run as CEO candidate

Besiktas administrator Emre Kocadag has announced that he would not run as club CEO candidate in upcoming CEO election on 3rd December.

This decision did come after few days Serdar Adali has announced his candidacy hence making it 2-horse race with Hasan Arat. Kocadag also made it clear in his statement that he is being specifically happy for there to be 2 candidates for that position. Until this announcement, there were talks in media that Emre Kocadag is considering to be running as candidate to which he did recieve criticism stating that due of poor performance of this administration, anyone who is inside it should not run as CEO election and this for sure has also affected his decision.

Besiktas are being on crises at every front and any candidate which would provide effective road to solve it would likely win this electiton.
