WEEK 29: REVIEW
THE BATTLE IS GETTING HOTTER IN THE TSL....
Because of my travel this weekend to connecticut to watch my son's match ,I did not see the any matches live. Therefore, I saw the highlights of the some matches. As I told all of you before , Friday and Saturday matches out come, did not change any thing on top of the league.but, it did change the bottom of the league. Antalyaspor is feeling the heat now,on the other hand the team could not show any movement against Fenerbahce, I am talking about Gaziantepspor has found it self in the fire zone also.
I HAVE TO ADMIT, NEITHER FENERBAHACE NOR BESIKTAS PLAYING GOOD SOCCER..
After watching the highlight of the two matches, I was not so impressed with Besiktas and Fenerbahce.... They did win but, this is not the way win the League Championship... Fenerbahce has a four step advantage but, no one could tell me, with that kind of soccer that they will finish on top!. On the other hand Besiktas, is worst !... If Besiktas did not have that one -legged kepeer in the goal yesterday, they would kiss -goodby to the championship..... Besiktas is lucky , coach Tigana , gamble big time and played injuried second string keeper Murat Sahin, in the goal. Can you imagine , if he had a bad game , what the critics would be saying about Tigana and Besiktas?. He would be run out of Turkey!...Instead of putting young 17 year- old keeper, in the goal , Tigana took a chance , and played injuried keeper, and it worked this time !.Looking ahead..... Fenerbahce has four though mtaches back to back...first this coming week at home against troubled Denizlispor, than, Besiktas in Besiktas's turf , at home against Trabzonspor and against Galatasaray in Ali Samiyen after this very though four matches Fenerbahce will close the league at home against Ankaragucu.... Yo never know!... this match, for Ankaragucu, could be, do or die match!.. I am sure most of you remember what happened in Denizli , last season?.... That's why all along, I have a feeling this race will go down the wire again! The way these top teams play lately any thing could happened!
GALATASARAY STAY THIRD AFTER WIN
Galatasaray cemented their grip on third place in the Turkish Turkcell Super League with a 3-1 defeat of Caykur Rizespor on Sunday.Altan Aksoy gave the relegation-threatened visitors a surprise lead but goals from Necati Ates (two) and Umit Karan turned the match around.Gala are four points adrift of second-placed Besiktas and a further four behind leaders Fenerbahce.Fourth-placed Kayserispor were held to a 3-3 draw by Ankaraspor - Gokhan Unal and Anil Tasdemir both netting twice.Adriano also grabbed a brace as Denizlispor beat Sivasspor 2-0 while Filip Holosko went one better with a hat-trick in Manisaspor's 4-1 thrashing of Bursaspor.
Sunday's other game, between Ankaragucu and Genclerbirligi, finished goalless.
