Fenerbahce has once again turned around game as we enter to critical weeks at title race.
Fenerbahce has managed to get an important win against Fatih Karagumruk as we are entering to last games in this title race despite of getting behind and showing poor performance in 1st half.
Fenerbahce did have pretty poor performance as it provided low tempo in first 20 minutes without being able to get any control of the game as did opponent until there was golden opportunity from Rade Krunic following great assist from Edin Dzeko which he didnt convert which led for an open game and eventually led for Istanbul giant to concede goal. However, with change of Rade Krunic with Michy Batshuayi has opened game which led for Fenerbahce to provide much more aggressive game with creating numerous chances and hence finding two goals from Edin Dzeko and later from penalty Michy Batshuayi. It also needs to be mentioned that Dominik Livakovic has made number of very important saves during both halves and has played one of the best performance since joining club and does get important motivation as we are currently at critical weeks.
Fatih Karagumruk especially during 1st half did provide strong and organised game which creating some very good chances and also did look generally organised and compact during defence. It needs to be stated that they do provide optimistic view as they try to stay at the league.
Fenerbahce hence continues its winning run and did get into the top of the league for at least 23 hours as its intense title race continues with Galatasaray with 6 games left for them.
Besiktas has sacked Fernando Santos after draw against Samsunspor
Besiktas has sacked its head coach Fernando Santos following another loss of points at the league as it has ended with 1:1 scoreline against Samsunspor and also from pressure which did come from supporters.
One of the worrying aspects which has been of supporters and administration is not only losing points during last 5 games but also not sign of improvement with team and quite opposite performance going down as with Santos looking for minumum win has led for team to lose points. Besiktas has announced that Serdar Topraktepe would be taking his place until end of the season as he did coach team prior to Santos appointment of 2 games during which team did show some good performance. Still, with changing 5th coach and Santos not being right option for team, it needs to be aware that an issue at the team is not coach and should plan summer period according to that.
Fernando Santos has been sacked as been expected but as been noted team does have much more issues than coach and hence this would not be solution for long time.
Galatasaray returns to title race with game against Alanyaspor.
Galatasaray would be returning to its title race with 7 weeks to go until end of the season with crucial and tough game against Alanyaspor as it could be turned out to be tough game.
With 2 points left until end of the season, it is known that main focus for Galatasaray is to win all games and get title back-to-back but as been noted it cant afford to make any mistakes if it doesnt want to lose any concentration. It also needs to be mentioned that even through big praise of Turkish media, Galatasaray does have some low points at the game or doesnt provide its best performance entirely and Alanyaspor which does provide sometimes good organising football as it would be doing for sure in this game would be focussed to get good result and hence Galatasaray needs to be stay focussed and dont let Alanyaspor to get any control of the game.
Galatasaray for sure are being favourites but there would be some effort needed to be given to get result which it seeks for for its aim to win title.
