"IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER" IN THE TURKISH TOP LEAGUE!
If you remember, I have told you guys that we probably wont find out soon,who will be the Champion in the Turkey's top league.
Three weeks to go, still ,we don't know who will finish first, just yet.....
But, Saturday results, might just give us a better picture, on top of the Turkish Turkcell Super League.
Action filled Saturday ,will keep Turkish soccer fans in front of their tv's trying to watch, all three matches at the same time..(20.00 Local Turkey Time)
Turkey's top team Fenerbahce, will host one of the strong Anatolian team Eskisehirspor in Kadikoy on the other hand, leagues second place team Bursaspor, will face Kayserispor at Bursa. Bursaspor coach Ertugrul Saglam, will take on his former team Kayserispor.
It will be very interesting, how well Kayserispor will play against Bursaspor.
The third place team Galatasaray, who loss their hopes for the title last week , still, has a chance to capture the second place, if they win their three remaning matches and hope Bursaspor lose their two remaining matches.
Galatasaray will face Istanbul B.B., in Ataturk stadium on Saturday night also.
"Saturday night fever" will be really high in the Turkish Super league,,,,,
Fenerbahce and Burssaspor has to win their matches if they want to remain in their places...
A loss or loss of points will spell danger for both teams...
If Galatasaray win their match on Saturday night..........
During the past week,Bursaspor coach Ertugrul Saglam said this..."Our opponent will play three more games, while we will play two,”. Bursaspor will receive an automatic victory against Ankaraspor next week.
He also said,"We will win our two games and keep our fingers crossed for Fenerbahce to drop points,” said Bursaspor coach. “If we become the champions, we will celebrate it with our fans, but if we can’t – God forbid – we will honestly congratulate our opponent."
On the other hand, Fenerbahce has won seven of the eight games it has played....
Fenerbahce who has 67 points will face very difficult team Eskisehirspor...
Could Fener make it eight out of nine?
It will not be easy..... but their home turf and their rowdy 12th man, will be a plus, for Fenerbahce on Saturday.
After this weekend, Fenerbahce still have a bumpy road to the finish..........
Next weekend they will travel to Ankara, to play Ankaragucu, who is "sister team" with Bursaspor, than in the last weekend, they will face Trabzonspor in Istanbul .
Plus, they will play in the Turkish Cup Final,against Trabzonspor on May 5th, in Urfa ,Turkey.
So, it is very tricky schedule coming up for Fenerbahce, in the coming days...
They have to be focused to the finish or else will happened....
As long as they win their games ,Bursaspor could not catch Fenerbahce....
But, they have to be perfect in the next three, weekends...
Again, at this moment, I still can't say, who will win the title, in the Turkish Turkcell Super League , just yet......
Also on Saturday,Ankaragücü will hosts Trabzonspor in the afternoon.
RELEGATION SUNDAY............
Sunday will be to be or not to be for Diyarbakirspor team...
If they lose to Besiktas at home , they will be the third team, who will bite the dust, in the Turkish Turkcell Super league.
Denizlispor and Ankarspor allready said good -bye........
Also on Sunday,Gaziantepspor will face Antalyaspor in Antalya, already-relegated Denizlispor will host Genclerbirligi,and Kasımpasaspor will visit Sivasspor.
The bottom of the Turkish Super League is prety much shapped up...
But, the top, is boiling .........
THE HEAT OF THE "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" WILL BE FELT IN THE THREE DIFFERENT STADIUM IN TURKEY ON SATURDAY NIGHT....

WHO WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN TURKEY?
Things at Turkish Turkcell Super League are getting hotter as we get close to the end of the rope.
It is like jungle ...
Crocodiles of Bursa , canneries of Fenerbahce , lions of Galatasaray and eagles of Besiktas are fighting, in this jungle to be the number in Turkey.
As we enter the last five weeks in the Turkish Super League, Bursaspor is not showing us that they are the clutch team in the last two matches even though they are sitting on top of the Turkish Super league going into the this weekend(30th week).
Next three weeks are very crucial for Bursaspor, starting on this Friday,
This Friday night, they will open the 30th week against Gaziantepspor in Bursa.
A bad result from this match, will shatter Bursaspor's dream, in my opinion..
Because ,they still have to face Galatasaray , Kayserispor and Besiktas, yet....
Bursaspor has to show their fans they are the clutch team in the league....
If they want to stay on top of the league they have to win this match on Friday...
A loss of points will not be good for Bursa...
BIG DERBY MATCH IN ISTANBUL.....
This is the most important match of the weekend in my opinion....
Fenerbace against Besiktas in Kadikoy on Sunday!
It is to be or not to be match for Besiktas .....
Besiktas has to win this match if they want to stay in the race....
But, playing in Kadikoy will be very difficult.
What Bursaspor will do on Friday Night will affect and put more pressure on each team on Sunday.
The leader Bursaspor have 62 points and Fenerbahce at 61 and Besiktas and Galatasaray are at dead lock 57 points.
In the derby match it is very hard to guess who will win, but, like I said it is do or die match for Besiktas if they want to stay in the Turkish Super League Jungle, Black and white eagles and coach Mustafa Denizli has to win this match.
There is no ifs or butts about it...
On the other hand Galatasaray will travel to Manisa to play Manisspor...
For Rijkaard and lyons of Glatasaray ...there is one thing left...
Win their all five remaining matches and hope the others make mistake....
One good thing, They will host Bursaspor in their home turf....
That is why it will be very difficult for Bursasspor , the team who has not have any experience being the champion to finish first at the end of the season...
I wish ,they could do it.................
RELAGATION ZONE........
WE know Ankaraspor has relagated and Denizlispor has one foot in the basement too..
I think,The third team will be Diyarbakirspor...
The team who has not paid their players and coaches...
Although there is a lot of teams like Diyarbakirspor, who can not pay their coaches and players.
Sivasspor and Manisaspor are feeling the heat at the bottom of the Turkish Super League...
If they don't win games they could well be the third team to drop out of the league too.
So, welcome to the jungle, in the Turkish Super League, in the last five weeks..
Who will rule this jungle?
will it be the crocodile of Bursa... canaries of Fenerbahce... lions of Galatasaray or eagles of Besiktas?
We just don't know yet............

Guus Hiddink Officially signs with Turkey!
Dutch Guus Hiddink became the new coach for the Turkish national soccer team on Monday.
Hiddink arrived in Istanbul on Monday to sign the official agreement with the Turkish Football(soccer) Federation.
Having previously coached Turkey's Fenerbahce team to negative reviews 20 years ago, Hiddink said what happened with Fenerbahce was not too good, "But much has changed with time. I have a lot more experience in my profession. I have many lessons from my past."
Saying he was happy to be back after 20 years, Hiddink added that the future of Turkish football was promising and "we will have a lot of momentum by the start of practice in September."
Turkish Football Federation President Mahmut Ozgener told reporters that they had wanted a new coach who would bring international success to the Turkish team, adding: "we believe in him. We have completed our restructuring period and now Turkish football is starting a new era."
There were not one Turkish journalist at the press conference asked question to Hiddink, in English .
Lastly, no one asked about Turkish Nationals trip to United states to play U.S Mens National team...
that was kind of absurd too..
So, Hiddink is finallly signed the official papers with TFF..
Now the work began for Hiddink and Turkish National Soccer Team and current Turkish Football Federation officials.
