Istanbul: Two days, two rents, two continents. A football superpower is coming out.

Besiktas' fans cheer before the match they play at home against the local rivals of Istanbul Basakshire, and this cheer is too, too high.

Football in the largest Turkish city always has color, passion and noise, but Saturday's match was playing in separate circumstances, between two very different clubs, Periscopi translates from the BBC.

Istanbul is going through very tense, uncertain times. The recent local elections yielded results saying Rexhep Tayyip Erdogan's candidate was defeated there, but his ruling party has refused to accept it and has ordered a recount.

What Besiktas fans were cheering for, says “give power to Ekrem Imamoglut”, the winning candidate who was at that match, sitting beside the president of the club in question.

This is Turkey politics and football connected, and this cannot be saved. As for Basakshire, who is also the leader of the league, the relationship with Erdogan is clear.

Founded in 1990 as an amateur club, they took up league after evil and reached Turkey's football elite for the first time in 2007.

But in 2014 their wealth grew dramatically. He was a businessman with close ties to Erdogan, who took over the party.

Former Turkish coach Abdullah Avci was appointed head of the club, and Goksel Gumsdag became presidential club he is marrying Erdogan's wife, Emines.

While Tottenham received club legends such as Paul Gascoigne and David Ginola at the opening of her stadium, Basakshiri took Erdogan himself to inaugurated the stadium with 17 thousand seats in July 2017.

Being a former semi-professionist player, Erdogan scored the hat-trick in his team's 9-4 victory over the Daily Sabah newspaper.

Erdogan was wearing the number 12 in that match, aspiring to become Turkey's 12th president, which he also succeeded, and Basakshiri thus drew the number 12, which no one could bear.

Basakshire has reached the top of the Turkish football table, but many people see their way as artificial, relying only on external investments they have paid for young players and new stadium.

Only 40,000 people go to see their games, but many feel that they too are paid or taken to schools and local areas.

Their success has angered rival fans, particularly Beshiktash, a club that boasts he is the oldest in Turkey. They were founded in 1903, being older even than the Turkish nation, which was declared in 1923.

I've lived in Istanbul all my life and I've never met a Basakshire fan. That's not the snow and it'll never be. They're a fake club, no stories. ” said one.

If Basakshire is a <x0-pro-government club” and “pro-erdoganist”, Besiktas stands firm for the opposite.

Last Saturday was very happy for Besiktas' fans. In 90 minutes they won.

The former member of Real Madrid and Manchester City, Robinho, had scored for the Partner.

But Besiktas' team scored twice and received all three points. Despite the loss, Basescu remains 8 points ahead of Besiktas in third place. Yet, the second country was able to narrow the advantage even further.

And Galadasaray would play against Fenerbahce in one of Europe's fiercest debtors. With both teams stationed on the opposite coasts of the Bosphorus, the match is also known as “The inter-ccirginal derby”. Galatasaray is in Europe and Fenerbahce in Asia.

They are divided by cultural and social differences.

Galatasaray is viewed as a elite club representing the elite, formed by high school students Galatasaray. Until this day, you are required to be a graduate of this team's board. Fenerbahce on the other side, viewed as a “club to the people”.

They have won 40 of the 62 titles of Turkey's Super League since 1959.

However, things have changed now. While Galata is fighting for the title, Fener is fighting to survive. Their team has been described as the worst in the last 20 years.

This match ended 1 to 1.
