Turkish Super League & 1. League 2021/22 Season

[Pierre 2]

The weird thing about this match is that Galatasaray is given a better odds in most places, and that tells you something. BJK had a greater season in the division, but just because GS got a tie with Barca that people started to see them better suddenly. Up until that moment if you asked people, they would have given GS 3.00+ odds for sure, but because we got a tie and carrying that momentum, people think we will somehow win.

I still think that BJK could beat GS, and I believe that there is a good chance it would be a boring match and end in a draw just like Barca game as well, because when playing defensive, GS could keep any team from scoring, but scoring themselves is a bit harder.

Defensive gameplay was reason why Galatasaray finished at 1st place in European level tournament group. Ever since season started Galatasaray s main problem was lack of striker and sort of inefficiency with midfield. Although they weren't suppose to be here in league right now. That squad didn't deserve it.
I can agree with you about odds. Being successful against Barca is hard and companies see it as "Gala getting better."

Galatasaray will play a home match against Besiktas today. These two teams are the two renowned teams in the Super Lig. However, the situation in Galatasaray is much worse now. And if Galatasaray is defeated in this match, we will soon see the team in the relegation zone. However, Besiktas's performance is also irregular. Their defense is not strong. Galatasaray has a chance to score. What is your prediction about this match? Which team will you bet for?

Galatasaray successfully beat their visitors Besiktas with a score of 2-1 this victory also brought them up 1 place in the order of 11 in the Turkey Super League standings, where two goals from Galatasaray were scored by Akturkoglu in the first half, Besiktas were only able to reduce the gap through Yilmaz's goal at the end. The second half, which saw Galatasaray successfully secure all three points at home after they lost to Konyaspor in the previous match, with this victory also adds motivation ahead of facing Barcelona in the second leg of the Europa League in the middle of this week.

I like Galatasaray's gameplay in this match. They played offensively in the first half. But in the second half, they kept the defense strong. And trying to counterattack. The game strategy was good. Galatasaray's players have been able to take advantage of Besiktas' weak defense. So they were able to go ahead 2-0 in the first half. Galatasaray is now far away from the relegation zone with a full point in this match.

Galatasaray played well in first half and Besiktas played well in the second half.
I think Kerem was the man of the match last night.
Some wrong decisions may have affected the match, but I look at the result of the match. This applies to all matches, not just Galatasaray.

Anyway, now we have to focus on the Barcelona game.

You are right. Galatasaray played well in the first half and Besiktas played well in the second half. However, after trailing by 2 goals, it is difficult for Besiktas to draw or win the match. Since Galatasaray went ahead with two goals in the first half, there was no need to increase the goal difference in the second half. They needed to ensure victory. So they played somewhat defensively and ensured the victory.

Edit: another goal in last minute came from Mergim Berisha 
Results: Alanyaspor 2-5 Fenerbahçe, Full-Time.

Fenerbahçe really dominated the match against Alanyaspor. Alanyaspor was making mistakes in defense while attacking for a draw. It is not a coincidence that Fenerbahçe scored goals in a row. Because Fenerbahçe started to find easy positions. This match was an easy win for Fenerbahçe. Galatasaray also played a similar game against Beşiktaş. Both teams won comfortably this week. I think both of them will finish the league in the top 4.

It was not a very enjoyable match, the tempo was lower than I thought. Beşiktaş's defense made a mistake when Galatasaray forced their opponent and they were able to score in this way. At least we were able to see a goal in the match, I think Galatasaray have a lot of problems in this regard.
If they play like this against Barcelona, they won't have much of a chance, they should be aware of that

The tempo of the game was a little slow but the match between the two was very interesting to enjoy with Galatasaray and Besiktas both playing attacking.although the Besiktas defense often made fatal mistakes which made Galatasaray punish them with two goals in the first half, Besiktas played more good in the second half but unfortunately they can only score one goal back towards the end of the game

[Balmain]

Kerem and Omar muhammed did a good job in this derby match. Yes, both teams played an aggressive game, but there was no efficiency, so I agree that it was not a very enjoyable match. Galatasary has a very important match in Europe two days later. Although their motivation for this match is good, it will be really difficult for them to win with this game. They need a different tactical game.

It's true there are still synchronization problems in Galatasaray's game, but I admire Nelson, he is a complete leader, directing his friends with his hands like a maestro, but I personally think Galatasaray played very well in the first half, if they meet Barcelona maybe they will difficulties but if they continue to fight I am sure there will be a miracle, because there is a lot of support and hope on the shoulders of Galatasaray who represent Turkey playing in Europe, of course they will try their best, to be able to get a victory against Barcelona in the second leg later.

[lulumiya]

The derby game was really amazing for Galatasaray and their supporters as well. Honestly, I wasn't expecting Galatasaray to play this much good. I mean that they were doing really bad in the Super League before this game. But maybe the result they got against Barcelona has fired the team up, who knows. Anyway, I appreciate their good performance here and they deserved to get this 2-1 win. Besiktas were just horrible. They got only one shot on goal in the whole game. You can't play like this when the expectation from you is big.

Well but at least this is one thing that is quite good for Galatasaray even though they are still lacking in some things such as in their passing and concentration but on the other hand they are now trying to lift their game at the moment. At least with some positive results during these 5 matches they can lift to a better position than before.
For UEL, I might not expect too much because the opponent is still very far in terms of quality and performance, but maybe there will be a miracle here because sometimes in a match anything can happen.

[Pierre 2]

Last week Antalyaspor and Giresunspor got another very important victories (3 points). Even though Altay also won their chance to survive is going down every other week. Its sad to see this is another time and disaster for İzmir clubs in my opinion.
On the othrt Gaziantep risked its position. They may be more motivated next week (may be nice bet)

The main difference from what I heard is that Torrent ends up putting whoever works the hardest during the training sessions. Adding in a new staff that knows how to do practice (compared to horrible ones GS had with Terim) and players trying their best to get the starting eleven, we are talking about changing the whole idea of who to pick.

You could be a great player that got a lot of respect so far and been given the jersey because of that, but if you do not work hard during the training then you are out of next game. Let's see how they will fare against Barcelona again, but I believe that they will definitely be 100% better next season at the very worst case.

Many Turkish teams are sometimes underestimated. They may not have played great lately, but Galatasaray, for example, recently drew against Barcelona in the EL, which was also played in Barcelona. Not every club can do that. Any club would have a hard time there. The problem with Turkish players is often that they are sold quickly when they get good, and probably the sponsors don't have enough money to pay really big sums, and as a result clubs can't buy good players.

Main reason why Turkish clubs (and Turkish players) perform bad is increasing inconstency with laziness. Sort of typical with Mediterranean regions. Managers are trying hard to motivate their players but it mostly does not work... European football on the other hand is different, players are more motivated to perform better there. That's main reason of Gala success. I would still say they may get bad results in upcoming weeks.

[hollandalibaykus]

In fact, a not bad budget is allocated for football in Turkey, the money paid to the players is not very small. But in general, foreign players are more preferred. Successful Turkish footballers want to play for European teams (: We can see that there has been a decline in Turkish football in recent years. For this situation to change, more Turkish football players need to be trained

There is more competition in Europe's leagues. Management costs a lot of money. They give the world's experienced coaches the responsibility to make the players more experienced. Moreover, all the talented players in the world dream of playing in European clubs. So if the Turkish league gives only relatively less talented players. It is for these reasons that the Turkish League is still lagging behind.

The team has no other goal than to beat Barcelona, they can achieve something if they pass this round. We know that they have no claims in the league, they played very badly all year. They also need time for things to change, I don't think there is a difference between finishing 7th or 13th in the league.
But if they can get a good result tonight, they will make the fans happy

I don't see any possibility of doing well in Turkish Super Lig. They are far behind. It is now impossible for them to be in the top 3 of the table. Winning a match in Europa League against Barcelona would be a great honor for Galatasaray. So they must want to beat Barcelona. But looking at the performance of their players, I don't think they can beat a team like Barcelona.

I want to add, Turkish football needs to be much more popularised as well because if it doesn't generate enough revenue, the money is not going to be good no matter what. Obviously, the players will have to prove themselves that they are also capable of doing great things. And the players are obviously going to be interested in European football because that's where the money and fame lie.
