Kasimpasa showed how to play football to Galatasaray
Game for Galatasaray against Kasimpasa was very important game taking account that it was first game for the new head coach Mustafa Denizli. As been mentioned at the yesterday's blog the win for Galatasaray will not be easy as in 3 days Denizli would not have chance to solve team's issues. As was expected, Galatasaray played in similar manner as it did against Antalyaspor.
In fact, Kasimpasa could even win the game if there was not questionable position of goal which has crossed line after shot of Donk but referees decided not to count goal. Again, this game is difficult to judge regarding of performance of Mustafa Denizli, however there were signs of players to get some motivation which was observed at the game. After 1st goal, Burak Yilmaz has run straight to Denizli which showed that in mind-wise Galatasaray is becoming a team, however it is not present at the teamplay yet.
On the side of the Kasimpasa, in similar manner as it played against Besiktas few weeks ago it showed no scare against Galatasaray and played its football with creating good chances with converting both of them to goals. In fact, apart of some sections of the game, Kasimpasa had created positions.
Galatasaray now have 5-day break until Bursaspor game to make into more team play tactics by Denizli and has better control of the game. In other side, Kasimpasa has shown that it is into level to be at top 5 at the Turkish Super League standings with references to performances against Besiktas and Galatasaray games.
Akhisar smart tactics has brought them deserved win
As been mentioned at yesterday blog, Akhisar Belediyespor have no reason at all to be worried in the game against Besiktas as it has very successful season. The most important thing about this game that Akhisar Belediyespor had created workable tactic against Besiktas which became clear after Gunay Vural on 4th minute.
To everyone who have watched game had realised that aim of Akhisar Belediyespor was to score fast goal (which it succeeded in perfect time) and then went defensive, possibly scoring 2nd goal (part which their also succeeded). Even through following tactics in sense of view could be boring and certainly for Besiktas supporters nerve-cracking it is best way to defend against teams which attack must stronger than you are. Lots of teams in Europe use this tactic against Barcelona, sometimes successful, sometimes not.
However, there were chances when Besiktas did have goaling positions, which sometimes were wasted and sometimes were at acute angles for players. As been mentioned earlier also Besiktas seems to lose pace at last weeks, and following some luck wins or help of opponents it would eventually lose after 10 weeks. The turn came into Akhisar Belediyespor who has good season and now 4 points behind of Besiktas and if Fenerbahce wins tomorrow will be 5 points behind leaders hence for now putting them into title race.
Meanwhile, Besiktas loss of 3 points could mean that club might lose leadership, since 6th week, to Fenerbahce if it succeeds to beat Trabzonspor. This is not great scenario taking account that after 1 week it will play (with Kayserispor in between) against Galatasaray.
Fenerbahce coming with big advantage but Trabzonspor has high motivation.
As been hinted in yesterday's blog, this week at the Super League is full of awaiting games at which results are very curious by clubs, fans and media outlets. And one of those games is undoubtedly Fenerbahce vs Trabzonspor, game of old rivals.
Despite of Fenerbahce having winning streak both in Turkey and Europe, Trabzonspor is having new beginning according to head coach Sadi Tekiloglu and undoubtedly it will try to win a game to carry on victory against Genclerbirligi. In addition with club going to CEO elections and heated rivarly between two clubs, which became even bigger after match-fixing scandal makes game more interesting.
Despite of all those advantages in sight of Trabzonspor, Fenerbahce is having great performance plus it plays at home. Media outlets finally seem to reduce criticism towards Vitor Pereira. Both sides will come out at game with confidence and high motivation, but winning streak of Fenerbahce gives bigger advantage in advance at playing home. It should also not be forgotten that if Fenerbahce win it would become new leaders, another motivational aspect to team.
