Trabzonspor needs to focus how it played tonight and not on referee.
Turkish Super League 10th week game against Trabzonspor and Gaziantespor game was mainly remembered by slow-paced 1st half game of both teams and controversial decisions by the referee of game Cagaday Sahan, especially not giving penalty to Trabzonspor for hand ball at 90+2 minute of the game, which could bring important win to team.
However, returning to the game it looks like the most important lesson Trabzonspor head coach Shota Arveladze has learned from this game is to use Oscar Cardozo effectively and play with central forward at the upcoming games. Until 60th minute, before Cardozo entered game, Trabzonspor was playing very poorly without creating attacks and conceding 2 goals from Gaziantepspor, positions which were given as presents to its opponent.
In overall, 1st half of the game was slow-paced with hardly any shots to goal apart of goal by Gaziantepspor. However, with Trabzonspor starting to play more attacking football Trabzonspor has once again shown how effective are its attackers.
After game all focus will be given to referee of the game, as right after game Trabzonspor CEO Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu has criticised referees and Turkish Football Federation for purposefully not allowing them to win. Apart of club being potentially 11 points behind league leaders after 10th week, if Besiktas wins on Friday, club will once again fight for external issues, such as referee. As said before in previous blogs, Trabzonspor should need to stay calm and focus into performances. But how clubs acts after this game it doesnt seem like club will act calm.
Fenerbahce needs to stay focus during whole game
As been stated in previous blogs, Fenerbahce has shown some improvement during past two games against Ajax and Galatasaray and allowed them to get into more agressive and discipline performance. However, it is still below its potential at which head coach Vitor Pereira needs to find solution.
Tomorrow, during Turkish Super League 10th week, club will play against Osmanlispor, another tough team which should be able to test Fenerbahce abilities. One of the main problems with Fenerbahce at this season is losing stamina and concentration as the game progresses and conceding goals at 2nd half.
Osmanslispor as an opponent is available to stay focus for whole game and be equally dangerous in start and at the end of the game. Therefore, Fenerbahce needs to play high quality whole game if it doesnt want to lose another points in the title race.
Galatasaray should use advantage of fans to get comfortable win
Compare to its main rivals, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray is having more easier opponent, Eskisehirspor, who has very poor performance during this season and below its potential. Plus playing at home is huge advantage for club if it wants to fight for championship and get closer to leaders Besiktas.
However, it wont be as easy as it looks as Eskisehirspor might see this game as good opportunity to turn things around. Mediocre teams have always seen games against "big 4" as good opportunity to turn things around when having poor performance.
Despite of that and also injuries of Carole and Snejder, Eskisehirspor should still not bring tough times for Galatasaray as long as it plays its own football. Eskisehirspor has potential to make surprise but it is unlucky with recent rise of Galatasaray and push by fans.
