What happened in Turkish football today? 13/02/2024

Besiktas continues showing ineffective attacking game.

Besiktas even through does have occassionally some good moments during this season, in generally continues providing ineffective performance especially at attack as it didnt provide much pressure to Kayserispor at goalless draw.

It could be noted that Kayserispor has been side which did lose 2 points as it did provide much more attacking focussed performance and in some moments couldnt overpass opponent goalkeeper or did provide quality shot. In Besiktas side, it does continue showing disorganised game without providing strong possession of the ball and creativity at the front. One of the possible factors has been positive performance of Muci who did created important chances for himself.

Besiktas continues showing slow tempo without much creaitivity in attack an area which it needs to work on.

Trabzonspor got an important win for confidence. 

Trabzonspor without doubt did show an important win and performance against Hatayspor at the game where it did show an attacking game and did provide lots of pressure to opponent, factor which did lack a lot in team in recent games.

Even through 1st half could be stated that Trabzonspor werent as successful and dangerous, it did improve in 2nd half with providing much more aggressive game and did get well deserved win while Hatayspor havent been on their best performance as it failed to respond to Trabzonspor performance. This without doubt has been an important performance and would provide needed confidence and motivation boost for crucial upcoming games.

Trabzonspor hence did show good improvement with its performance after long time and now could look for 4th spot in more optimistic manner. 

TFF has approved location of Eryaman Stadium for game against Galatasaray

TFF has announced that Super League 26th week game between Ankaragucu and  Galatasaray will be played at Eryaman Stadium after Istanbul giant did request to change stadium due of poor condition of the field.

Ankaragucu did state for some time that while not playing games at home ground for one and half it did work into improvement of the field and its been reported that TFF workers did check into condition of the field and did come to conclusion that there is no prevention for game not to be played. Even through Galatasaray did state that they would respect all decisions, they still made it clear that its not safe for game to be played. Still, TFF did make right decision as issue at field has been for long time and it would be unfair for all teams who did play in Ankara. 

Game which would be played on 17th February would show if TFF made right decision but for now it does look to be fair action to be made.
