Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season

Beşiktaş defeated Giresunspor with a different score in the friendly match (https://twitter.com/ssporttr/status/1603378355075694593). Atiba was a substitute when İsmael was the coach. Şenol Güneş put him back in the main team in this match. I think this is a good development... Honestly, I don't think Beşiktaş can become champions after Ghezzal's injury, but the performances of Cenk Tosun and Redmond in this match gave me some hope. If we manage to solve our chronic defensive problems, maybe we can achieve an assertive position in the league.

We are only a week away from the next league games now. There is going to be a really great game between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce on the same week. This would be the best way to welcome the other half of this season indeed. I see Fenerbahce as the clearly favourite side in this game. Because they have been much better than before thanks to Jorge Jesus.

Trabzonspor are far away from their last season performance these days. Of course this kind of derby-like games are still different for both teams. But I still expect Fenerbahce to put a bigger effort into this game. I don't think they will lose here.

Today, Galatasaray will face Toulouse in the last friendly match. Galatasaray's starting XI against Lazio: Muslera, Dubois, Nelsson, Abdulkerim, Kazımcan, Berkan, Fredrik Midtsjø, Mertens, Gomis, Kerem, Barış. Also SUBS: Okan, Jankat, Boey, Metehan, Emirhan, Van Aanholt, Yusuf, Mata, Torreira, Rashica, Seferoviç. Galatasaray will face Keçiörengücü on    thursday at December 22 for Turkish Cup.

Today, Galatasaray will play another friendly match. Galatasaray will face Lazio today in Antalya. Last year, these two teams were in the same group in the Europa League and Galatasaray finished the group leader. Galatasaray's starting XI against Lazio: Okan, Boey, Emin, Abdulkerim, Van Aanholt, Özgür Baran Aksaka, Fredrik Midtsjø, Mata, Yusuf, Kerem, Barış. Also SUBS: Jankat, Metehan, Emirhan, Kazımcan, Beknaz, Mertens.

The result of the match Galatasaray 1 - Lazio 2 is over. Galatasaray actually opened with a very early and elegant goal. In this goal, after Mata's single touch of a pass, Barış had a nice finish. Galatasaray dominated this match. It was much better than Lazio and had an early goal advantage. This was a friendly match, I can't say that Galatasaray was bad as a game. In this match, Okan Coach saw many teams' shortcomings and got a lot of ideas to make corrections.

Although Galatasaray lost the match, I think it was a useful match. There were scenes similar to the scenes in the Başakşehir match. Okan Buruk has created vision of game for players.

I also think it is a useful match. Galatasaray needs to improve their offensive line right now, the strikers should be able to play a little more finishing. They find many chances but I don't think they can score enough goals. Against Lazio, they couldn't score any goals other than the goal they scored at the beginning of the match, I expected the friendly match to have more goals.
I wonder how they will play in today's match, I hope it will be useful for the team

Big match at the start after the world cup. Wonder how players will react after a huge pause because of the world cup. I think we will see a defencive game from both teams and not a lot of goals between these two teams in this upcoming derby

Galatasaray 2-1 Toulouse. Galatasaray defeated the French team in the friendly match played yesterday. Bafetimbi Gomis and Dries Mertens scored Galatasaray's goals. In fact, Galatasaray had a bad performance in the friendlies they played. They boosted the team's self-confidence by beating Toulouse. I guess this win will be a good reflection of the league. Also, Dries Mertens scored a very elegant free kick. I wish he had scored that goal in a league game. This goal might not be remembered much because he scored in a friendly match. Also, there is another good news. After recovering from injury, Leo Dubois returned to the starting 11 in this match. He was out of the game with an injury in the Fiorentina match. He hadn't played in a long time. It's good news that he's back in the team.

I agree. I wonder about that too. The ridiculousness of having a World Cup in the middle of season and winter time will take its toll on players and teams, I think. Although it can be good for some teams like Besiktas, who started the season bad and needed time to recuperate under the new coach, it will probably not affect good the teams who already performed well. But it is good to start the games with an important match like Trabzonspor - Fenerbahçe. Their rivalry is good to quench our thirst for the absence of the football league. Other than that, there are no particularly big games. Beşiktaş against Gaziantep and Galatasaray against Istanbulspor. Except seeing how will play after the world cup break, I expect no exciting results.

Galatasaray defeated 2-1 Toulouse in the friendly match. Dries Mertens scored a spectucalar free kick. Emin Bayram's performance was very good. I also liked Emirhan Kayar's performance.

I agree with your thoughts on this topic. Galatasaray found many opportunities in the friendly matches, but Galatasaray could not find many goals as at the beginning of the season. The strikers should improve to finishing skills.

I think mid season World Cup won't help players to perform better for sure. They are probably tired of doing holiday ironically. In my opinion it was far better when they did at end of season because players would peak in performance. Now all teams in Süper Lig will have issues to fix at least like 2 weeks. I am expecting surprising defeats in coming weeks. Weather will be also very cold. It will be another reason for skilled teams to suffer for obvious reasons: wind, rain, snow helps bad teams.

They are quite good in midfield but as you said they are very lacking in attack. Doing matches with 1 targetman is still a problem for them, especially considering the age of the strikers they have, such as Yilmaz and Gomiz, it is clear that they are not young anymore now that they are both 37 years old. there needs to be improvement there because sooner or later it has to be regenerated.

What are you talking about? Barış Alper Yılmaz is only 22 years old, what 37? Also, when it comes to forwards, he's not even in the top 5 options. With Icardi, Mertens, Seferovic, Gomis, Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Barış Alper Yılmaz is unthinkable in the starting line-up.
Galatasaray's problem with forwards is that they are all too old or too young and inexperienced. They have to find the middle of it. Since Seferovic is on loan and it's said that he will not be bought, I don't count him. Galatasaray doesn't have a striker to contribute to the prime period between the ages of 26-30. They could manage this season, but they need to go to a restructuring for the next season.

[karabiber]

Galatasaray finished the last day of the Antalya camp with a match against Toulouse. GS took the field with a team that was close to ideal and showed a good game. The fighting spirit in the team did not escape my attention. As in the previous friendly matches, they applied the front area press well. Barış, Kerem and Berkan were my favorite players in this match. Although there are some shortcomings in Galatasaray, i think they will make a good start after the break given to the league.

Keep in mind that most of these players won't get much playing time, at least for starting eleven. I glanced at a lot of friendlies, some players really tried hard to show themselves but most players don't care much. Starting players think they are untouchable, managers also gave them this confidence. So don't get too hyped about friendly performances. Managers will play with their ideal squad in their mind, these friendlies won't change much.

There is less than a week for the big match, Trabzonspor vs Fenerbahçe.

I'm of course feeling hopeful about my team, Fenerbahçe. They have done a great work so far thanks to Jorge Jesus. He has adapted to the Turkish Super League very quickly indeed and has established a strong bond with Fenerbahçe players. They have been able to keep this league and the Europa League balanced so far. Trabzonspor are like the opposite now. After being the champions it is like they have started to play more complacently. Fenerbahçe don't have a good history against them in this stadium recently maybe but I still expect them to return strong to the league by a win. The final result might be a close one.

That is still one of the top matches in the Turkish league. Although I still feel that the traditional top 3 Besiktas, Galatasaray and Fenerbache have more status in this competition. Maybe silly to say, but in the Turkish league not many players will have traveled to the World Cup. Still, the level of this competition is not that bad at all. It used to be stronger in the past. But because the differences are often minimal, smaller teams always have good chances to win games and to finish high in the league.

I realized that as well, we used to have more players in World Cup. That may show foreign players are not that good as they used to be. There are still quality names but most of them quit their international career due to age.
Romain Saïss played great for Morocco but he was injured and he will probably miss a couple of league games. Wout Weghorst got less time but his impact was bigger than anyone else. He scored two goals against Argentina in seven minutes. N'Koudou and Atiba came early. Beşiktaş looked like the locomotive here as well. Teams should pick better foreign players, they should take Beşiktaş as an example.

Trabzonspor are far from their performance last year. But there is only 6 points difference between them and Fenerbahçe. And if they win this match, they will reduce the point gap to 3. They have a very important opportunity in their hands. If they don't seize this opportunity, their championship claims will weaken this year. In this respect, we will watch a very important match. This match may be the breaking moment of the league for Trabzonspor. Likewise, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and Başakşehir will expect Fenerbahçe to lose points in this match. I think this match is very likely to end in a draw. Because Trabzonspor are playing well at home with the support of their fans.

There is less than a week for the big match, Trabzonspor vs Fenerbahçe.

Returning to the league with a derby will be difficult for both teams. Although these teams didn't have many players playing in the World Cup, the league has been interrupted for a long time and I think that the players will have difficulty in providing match condition and motivation. If this derby was held after playing a league match for a week or two, the atmosphere would be different. It's not possible to predict what will happen in the match in its current state, it will be a match open to every result. Whichever team prepares itself mentally will have an advantage.

I don't care about the results they got in the friendlies because no team played with their ideal squad and there are more important reasons why these matches are played than the result of the match.

The fact that Fenerbahçe is at the top with a significant point difference makes them more comfortable. Trabzonspor, on the other hand, will definitely go out on the field to win under the pressure of both playing at home and being behind in points. If the match ends in a draw under these conditions, the upset side becomes the home team. Fenerbahçe would be happy if they get a point in such a difficult away game.

[Slow death]

Today, Galatasaray will play another friendly match. Galatasaray will face Lazio today in Antalya. Last year, these two teams were in the same group in the Europa League and Galatasaray finished the group leader. Galatasaray's starting XI against Lazio: Okan, Boey, Emin, Abdulkerim, Van Aanholt, Özgür Baran Aksaka, Fredrik Midtsjø, Mata, Yusuf, Kerem, Barış. Also SUBS: Jankat, Metehan, Emirhan, Kazımcan, Beknaz, Mertens.

Galatasaray lost to Lazio in the match. Baran Aksaka was injured while doing warm-up exercises before the match and did not play in the match. Metehan Baltacı played instead of Baran Aksaka in the match. Galatasaray lost the match, but all young football players had the chance to play in this match. I think it was a productive match to test the young players and give them confidence. Such matches are very important in order to keep the performance of the players alive during the break due to the World Cup. We have come to the end of the World Cup and the League will start soon. With such matches, it is very important for the players to be prepared for the league tempo.

Galatasaray not only lost against Lazio, in these friendly games they have only lost:

Galatasaray 0 - 1 Rayo Vallecano

Galatasaray 3 - 4 Villareal ( in this game Galatasaray were lucky to have benefited from a penalty, if it wasn't for the penalty they would have lost 2 - 4 )

Galatasaray 2 - 2 Adana (they also couldn't beat adana, interesting that in this game Adana was the first to score and Galatasaray was chasing a draw)

Galatasaray 1 - 2 Lazio ( in this game Galatasaray scored first and very early, just after 4 minutes, it even looked like they would win, but they lost )

Galatasaray 2 - 1 Toulouse ( in this game Toulouse scored first and Galatasaray was lucky to tie thanks to the penalty kick and then Galatasaray scored the second goal )

Galatasaray is bad in friendlies, I wonder how it will be in league

[Ratash]

Adana demirspor team has been great in the last couple of seasons, in this one they are currently on the third spot and unbeaten since the third round but they have been drawing a lot lately, three in a row next they will face karagumruk not a tough team so its the perfect opportunity to take the win.
