Dick Advocaat did show he fully focussed into attacking football even when its not 11-on-11
Super League 2nd week game against Fenerbahce and Kayserispor has ended up being a big duel between two sides with both sides trying to win the game with their best effort. Fenerbahce of course has played for more than half of the game with one player less as Simon Kjaer has recieved red card on 38th minute and to some extend it was important for them to find 3 goals after that however it did concede same amount of goals.
The tempo of the game regardless of the scoreline was not as expected and the game did go on at the midfield area with Fenerbahce controlling game for most of the time. But head coach Dick Advocaat even with the 10-men at the field has shown that he was focussed into attacking football and was going towards the risk which with goal of 90+1' by Kayserispor player Umut Budak could have ended with bad outcomes has provided a very attacking football with 2nd half entering to the Fernandao and Robin van Persie. This to some extend can be seen as good thing which shows that Dick Advocaat would go into winning with taking all the risks which is needed. Saying that, it is clear that Advocaat is not used to the Super League style of football yet as he had arleady lost 5 point after 2 weeks and he needs to do some improvement to understand league and explain players what kind of football he awaits from them in upcoming days.
Kayserispor with being weaker side compare to Fenerbahce did use its chances to score especially with the help of Welliton game and has provided very effective game and did stay focus to the game trying to reduce mistakes. This draw could be seen for them as plus side even through for most time their played with 1 extra man.
This national team break would be big help for the Dick Advocaat as it would allow for him to explain players who will stay in Istanbul his style of game, get used more to the team and league. It is certain that he will need to do lots of homework in this two weeks.
Galatasaray has more desire to win games compare to last season.
Despite of not showing yet the best football which everyone would except from Galatasaray it did win all of the 3 official games during this season, including Super Cup game against Besiktas. Galatasaray has carried on its winning start with 3:1 win against Akhisar Belediyespor.
One of the main differences compare to previous season from Galatasaray that it start showing its winning spirit at the team and start going very actively forward at finding positions even through there would be expectations even more. It does need however to be noted that Akhisar Belediyespor which psychologically started playing defensive football after scoring a goal did provide some help to them. It needs to be stated that during last 2 goals, the work of midfielders was done in good job with great passes to both Yasin Oztekin and Bruma during the game. Another important note, is that it became visible that role of wingers are very important when Eren Derdiyok is on the field as he has great skills with headers.
Galatasaray would be going at the highest mood at the national team break among big "4" teams but it does need to work on its defence as it did make number of mistakes in first two games at the league.
Trabzonspor didnt show fast-paced football against Gaziantepspor.
Trabzonspor game against Gaziantepspor needs to be stated didnt go as was expected as it was very slow game with low number of dangerous moments. Even through such a game was going to be expected from Gaziantepspor, the way was Trabzonspor played against Kasimpasa in 1st week did provide some unexpected surprise.
Even through it did create number of dangerous attacks during the game their did appear according to situation of the game and not towards fast play of the game and Trabzonspor didnt provide face pace and attacks during the game. It would been fair for a game to get 0:0 scoreline but Gaziantepspor player Orkan Cinar, player who just entered to the field with few minutes before scoring showing great drippling skills has scored a great goal. In fact, this goal does provide signs that he could become very important player for a team for this season. With goal coming also at the 88th minute, Trabzonspor couldnt respond does need to find reasons why it has lost game as it didnt do enough to get point and this perforamance will bring lots of problems during this season if it carries on like this.
Trabzonspor does have lots of new transfers and head coach Ersun Yanal has chance during this national team break to make the team work together and try to improve newly signed transfer players, who promise to bring a lot to the team this season.
