What happened in Turkish football today? 28/12/2023



Fenerbahce would be expected to be showing much more effective game compare to league game.

Following very dull derby game between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray which has ended with goalless draw at the Super League both sides would be playing once again, this time at Turkish Super Cup at Saudi Arabia.

It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce does have some areas where it would be coming in better and confident manner as one of its players Edin Dzeko would be expected to be physical better condition as he did go through an injury a week before league game. Another factor of Fenerbahce would been for its midfielder player Fred would be available at the game and this addition could possibly raise tempo and attacking game of the team and find solutions to good defensive game which Galatasaray did show at the league game. Still, playing at neutral position and different importance of team would be needed for Fenerbahce to seek game as it could be finding an opponent more aggresive and hence role of defence would be especially important for them.

Fenerbahce is expected to be more creative at this game compare to league game but it would be dependant also how opponent would defend.

Galatasaray would be likel focus more into midfield area.

Galatasaray it needs to be stated did show pretty strong confident defensive game during Fenerbahce game but it lack creativity at the attack as Kerem Demirbay did take leading role with shots from far from goal.

This time, Galatasaray would be needing to find different kind of game with providing much more aggresive attacking game and aim to overpass defensive game taking account that its not entirely strongest side. With Fred being back into field, Galatasaray would also focus into more different tactical game at that area with aiming to prevent Fred to feel confident and this could be moving defensive line into further from goal. Also, Mauro Icardi who possibly feels to be affected from bruise which he did get on previous game and would be specific mask would need to improve his performance compare to league game and provide much more aggresive game. Galatasaray would also need to focus into more creative attacks as mentioned.

Galatasaray would need to provide some different tactics as its performance in league game against opponents didnt provide much result in attack.

Samet Aybaba made clear issues which Besiktas are having right now.

During press conference Besiktas administrator Samet Aybaba has made clear regarding some issues which team is going through especially difficulties with appointing new coach and condition of transfer.

Aybaba did state that team is aware of that squad is not being very good and signing players during previous transfer window who would heavily travel to African Nations Cup has been done very difficult and now team would be seeking to find ways to make deal with current players making clear which like to stay and which would like to leave. He also admits that due of unclear situations of transfers it is difficult to make deals with coaches who would like to see strong and clear plans of organising club which are being absent as team has difficulty to plan future.

Hence, Aybaba has made clear issues which are present right now at the team but as been mentioned it would be difficult part to solve effective solutions which Aybaba and whole Besiktas administration would need to focus now.
