Göztepe, who started the season in Spor Toto 1st League with a 1-0 away win against Sakaryaspor, failed to meet expectations in the first 9 weeks of the season. At the end of 9 weeks, 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses (1 week MR was passed) and the yellow-red players, who could collect 8 points, are one step above the relegation line.
15 days of work did not bear fruit
At the end of the first 5 weeks in Göztepe, which had unsuccessful results in a row, the roads parted with Coach Turgay Altay, while a new technical team consisting of Technical Manager Şakir Özkyimoğlu, Head Coach Ekrem Dağ and Football Methodology Director Radomir Kokovic started to work about 3 weeks ago. The new technical team, who took office, went away to Pendikspor with the dust of their feet, and left with a 3-0 defeat in the match. The new technical team in Göztepe, which passed the 8th week by BAY, had the opportunity to prepare for the Tuzlaspor match, which will be played in the 9th week, for 15 days. However, the 2-0 defeat of Tuzlaspor yesterday and the ineffective football put forth, frustrated the expectations of Göztepe fans.
The league’s lowest goalscorer
İzmir representative, which is one of the 7 teams that conceded the least goals in defense, performed the opposite in terms of attack. Goztepe, who sent a total of 93 shots to the opponent’s goals in the 8 league games he played, hit 32 of these shots and only 4 goals were scored. While Yasin Öztekin scored 2 goals, Hüsamettin Yener 1 and Kenneth Obinna Mamah scored 1 goal, the yellow-red players did not get the performance they expected from the attacking players.
