What happened in Turkish football today? 09/01/2024



Besiktas player welcomes Fernando Santos with comfortable Rizespor win. 

Besiktas has shown one of best performance it did during this season as it got a confident win with 4:0 scoreline against in-form Rizespor and achieving that at away game with Serdar Kilicsoy becoming star player of the team.

With Fernando Santos being officially announced as Besiktas head coach, it was interesting to see how team would be performing as it was expected to be extra motivated and provided some good performance for its new head coach. Without doubt, such an attempt to provide positive overview for themselves did lead for Besiktas players to be showing strong willingness at front side with losing opportuntiies which it did during an attacking game and used its chances effectively. Semih Kilicsoy meanwhile has shown himself as star player of the game with finding 2 great goals and also assisting to Cenk Tosun to bring final scoreline.

Rizespor with many eyes did come out as favourite, which includes bookmakers, but team has looked to be pretty passive and even through it did have some good chances at front, defensive game has been especially poor. 

Besiktas hence sends strong message to Fernando Santos which would make him happy especially as this game would help realise that players are willing to show strong and attacking game.

Fenerbahce would be coming out to game as favourites.

Fenerbahce would be playing against Konyaspor during Super League postponed 16th week game as it would be coming out with high confidence following 5:1 win against Istanbulspor in the league.

Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are continuing to be main contenders for title and hence every game for both sides is being very important until last week and both sides cant afford to lose. Playing game at home would mean that team would also get high support from its supporters despite of playing at weekday and likely at very good weather conditions. Without doubt an outstanding performance of Cengiz Under against Istanbulspor would lead him to come out to game with high confidence and would be expected to provide lots of pressure to Konyaspor goal during game. Opponent did show in some moments some good game against Galatasaray but did lose due of quality and this expects to be case in this game too.

Fenerbahce hence are coming out as favourites and expected to become 1st side to reach 50 points during this season.

 Besiktas appoints Fernando Santos

Besiktas has appointed Fernando Santos as club's head coach until 2025 as after negotiating with many coaches around world, it did manage to make deal with Santos with confincing potentiality of the team.

Due of poor results at the team, wrong transfer politics which led for many players to leave African Cup of Nations, lack of confidence means that close future and morale is being very low and Fernando Santos being aware of this without doubt still joined side. With17out doubt main focus for Santos would be regain confidence and motivation of the team which could be done much harder than it sounds as players did lose those factors in last month.Fernando Santos is known to be able to get results from sides which do get poor results and hence there is hope he would achieve similar results here.

Besiktas did appoint successful coach with high potentiality who could bring some good results at the team if things go as planned for them.
