Besiktas ends problematic year with a win.
Besiktas has ended year 2023, which in overall and specifically during this season didnt go very well for them, with a win against one of toughest opponents Hatayspor and this taking account that it came out to game without coach.
Without doubt, Besiktas did come out to game with an aim to bounce back both from loss on previous week and also to provide some optimistic message in its last game of the year and provide some optimism for 2024. It also needs to be mentioned that even through main focus as usually is giving to title race and hence other clubs are being put into 2nd spot, it needs to be mentioned that it still fights for top 4 spots to get European football next season. Coming to game it has been specifically eye-catching for 18-year old Semih Kilicsoy pretty good goal with Omar Colley making goal scoreline to 2:0 scoreline. Only negative part could be given for conceding goal on 80th minute which did provide some worry for side for last 10 minutes.
Looking into condition of Besiktas and also Hatayspor being in good motivation during this season, for some people Hatayspor has been seen as favourite but team couldnt provide strong reaction to side.
Besiktas most important has won game without having main head coach as players without doubt has shown strong set-mind which helped them to win such an important game in sense of confidence and motivation.
Fenerbahce and Galatasaray didnt create much chances at the game which been played 43 minutes on the field.
Game between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray which been anticipated for weeks, didnt provide a very exciting game and has been uneventful apart of 45 fouls which were given and 43 minutes has been played in total of the game.
When analysing teams seperately as we do in this blog during derby games, it needs to be stated that both teams has played similar game and hence same analysis could be given to both sides. In fact, it would be hard to difficult to analyse game where there has been only 1 shot into goal. Fenerbahce it needs to be stated did show some signs of attacking game during start of the game but during that time it wasnt able to create anything and as game has been progressed it started showing slow and defensive game in similar manner as did Galatasaray. Fenerbahce as Galatasaray did show good defensive game in overall but hardly created any chances with only good opportunity coming at 70th minute from Szymanski.
When looking at title race, it could be stated that draw would been bad outcome for Fenerbahce as it has played at home and didnt use good opportunity to win game.
Mauro Icardi position has been most talked even from derby game
Since as been noted, when analysing Galatasaray during this derby game it could be noted that similar things could be said about Fenerbahce and vice versa and hence it would be more productive to focus into penalty which wasnt given.
There has been lots of discussion especially from Galatasaray position where Mauro Icardi penalty position it wasnt given. There seems to be argument that if position has been enough for penalty but it needs to be mentioned that camera angles is being not very clear as different cameras show different perspective of the chances. Stating that, it tends to be case at Turkish football that after derby games, there seems to be more actions than during game itself especially when games are dull. When looking at overall referee it was seen that referee has been whistling every position which led for total of 43 minutes game play which did come once again from pressure which is given towards referee.
This game does show that more relaxation needs to be given towards referee as this would bring extra pressure to referees which would lead to more whistles for foul.
