With rotation of squad it became clear that Galatasaray has great team.
Galatasaray impressive performance at home ground carries on 10th week at Super League in game against struggling Eskisehirspor which it has won comfortably: 4:0.
Due of rotation at the team, due of injuries, card penalties and general rest of player club head coach Hamza Hamzaoglu has played with 5 players which did not play at recent games. However, players such as Sinan Kaya and Paul Karacan has performed great performance showing how their trained in those weeks and readiness to be at starting 11. Galatasaray had a control of whole game with a fast-mediocre pace and had controlled game in general, with high quality Sergen Inan free kick, two attacking goals and one penalty by Burak Yilmaz.
However, in view of Eskisehirspor after conceding 1st goal it had provided reasonable performances which could be expected by them. Even through, team had struggled to create dangerous positions, with few of them making Muslera to be worried, but with performance it was visible it was willing to create and score to Galatasaray. In other words, team did not give up until conceding two goals back to back in end of first half.
In overall, Galatasaray has shown great improvement in past few weeks including in this game and shows it has strong squad in its hand.
Fenerbahce defensive play in the end of the game become too predictable for opponents
Fenerbahce has won an important game against tough opponents, Osmanlispor, with scoreline of 1:1.
However, there were still problems present at the team which were noticeable in last few games. One of the main problem is not having calm ending of the game. Despite of winning goal of the game coming at the 2nd half, at 52nd minute, Fenerbahce still had troubles at the end of the game against Osmanlispor by going defensive and providing chances to its opponents. Luckily for Fenerbahce and its head coach Vitor Pereira, Osmanlispor attacks were not organised and did not end up as goals.
Fenerbahce has started first half in very fast pace with numerous amount of attacks by Diego however none of them could become goals. Another aspect is an injury of Lazar Markovic which helped to realise how important role does he play at team since he left the game, pace of team became slower at the game. Markovic is been recently criticised for playing predictably however he is one of the main reasons why Fenerbahce is playing fast football with his fast and ease passing of midfield area. Markovic is closest player which can provide football which Vitor Pereira is seeking for.
However, going defensive and loss of stamina of Fenerbahce is starting being predictable for the opponents. It wont be surprising if head coach, Mustafa Resit Akcay, has said to its players that as long scoreline is around 1:0 while their losing their have chances if their attack in last minutes of game. It is no secret that Fenerbahce became vulnerable at the back.
Overall, it is an important win for Fenerbahce as it needed to stay at the title race despite of being early weeks at the league. The main player who helped for the victory for Fenerbahce was Alper Potuk not only by scoring great goal but his performance at defensive and attacking moves at the midfield during game.
Haciosmanoglu only throws lighter to the petrol.
Trabzonspor CEO Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu speech at the Turkish sports channel has raised big disbelief and criticism from Turkish Football Federation, sports columnists and even group of women who were unhappy with "We wont live like women" section of his speech.
As been stated previously at the blog, Haciosmanoglu has used in his words at criticism too much harsh words and to some extend even threatening words as was case before hand. It became clear that Professional Football Disciplinary Committee is preparing to give huge penalty both to Haciosmanoglu and also to club fans for not allowing referees leave stadium for 4 (!) hours after the game.
Historically, Trabzonspor fans are known to be hotblooded but the way club's CEO treats situation rather than making situation more calmer makes it even worser. Haciosmanoglu needs to stay calm and be careful with his words.
