Turkish Super League Review : Empty Stadiums and Failed Stars !

It's only second weekend  but Turkish Super League started the 2015- 2016 season where they left off !

Empty Stadiums ......

In both weekend matches,stadiums were empty...

When you have big name players like Robin Van Persie playing in your league and fans don't go to stadiums to see him, there is something wrong !

This past weekend , Fenerbahce travelled to Rize and Rize stadium was empty....

It was the same case for Galatasaray in their own stadium ...

Besiktas the team with no stadium at the moment ,play their matches at Olimypic stadium ! 

Stadium chaos still on for Besiktas this season too...

That was the big reason why they lost the Championship last season to Galatasaray .

There is only one team draws good at home ,that is Fenerbahce ! 

They have sold over 30 thousand season tickets after they signed big name stars....

Overall, Turkish Super League's biggest problem is the fans in the stands ...

Turkish Football Fedaration has to do something about ! 

Financially struggling clubs could be in deep trouble ...

Some of the teams ,already are ...

NOT A GOOD START FOR GALATASARAY,FENERBAHCE AND BESIKTAS !

They have spent a lot of money on big names in the transfer season but they have struggled in last two  weekends ....

This past weekend big three, Galatasaray ,Fenerbahce and Besiktas loss points ! 

Fenerbahce got only one point in Rize with Van Persie's goal....

Galatasaray went down in front of their own fans against league's newcomers Osmanlispor with a score of 2-1 ! 

And Besiktas loss to Trabzon at windy Olympic stadium 2-1 .....

While they were struggling, underdogs like Kasimpasa and Antalyaspor and Trabzonspor were the only three teams won their two matches and stayed perfect so far !

Kasimpasa sits on top of the Turkish Super League at the end of the second weekend....

Eto's Antalyaspor has surprised everyone with two wins so far...

They surprised me too ! 

But, I still think they won't be around next season.....

If I remember correctly,last season Akhisar started the season on top of the league but then struggled .

Antalyaspor rookie coach Yusuf Simsek does not hold FIFA's coaching license yet, that's why his assistant coach  (old enough to be his father ) does the flash interviews after the matches ! 

It's bazaar.....

Eto scored three goals in two weeks and scored the winning goal this past weekend for Antalyaspor! 

The third weekend matches will be played on Friday,Saturday and Sunday ...

There won't be Monday Night match on Monday because of Turkish National team matches next weekend .

The third week will kick of on Friday with Gaziantepor vs Besiktas match ...

Galatasaray will travel to Konya on Saturday and Fenerbahce will be at home against Eto's Antalyaspor on Sunday night! 

Before that match , onThursday ,Fenerbahce has to win against Greek team to other to advance in Europa League ....

Lastly, my player of the week in the second weekend was Greek legend player Gekas who is playing for Eskisehirspor this season ...

He scored great goals this past weekend ...

Gekas also scored three goals too after two weeks .

Worst performance was by Galatasaray keeper Muslera  and Besiktas's Gokhan Tore ! 

Muslera looked very bad on both goals they scored on him....

Gokhan Tore, missed a open net and assisted on Trabzonspor goal with a bad clear in front of Besiktas's goal ...

Kudos to Rizespor coach Hikmet Karaman, Osmanlispor coach Mustafa Akcay and Kasimpasa coach Riza Calimbay  and Trabzonspor coach Sota .
