Fenerbahce won very important game even through of tiredness by players.
As Besiktas and Galatasaray will be playing against each other tomorrow, two clubs which are league title contenders, it was very important for Fenerbahce to win a game to regain its leadership at least for one day and get points when either or both sides will lose points. Fenerbahce did achieve that but it did not happen as easy as was expected by some people even through Basaksehirspor was always tough opponent for big 3 teams.
One of hte surprising factors of today's game was really poor field condition at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, home to Fenerbahce, as it always tends to be in great condition. As Fenerbahce head coach Vitor Pereira, stated himself it is very crucial for big club have great field at home with good conditions. In addition there there was signs of tiredness from Fenerbahce players which had come from hard games against Gaziantepspor and Celtic in duration of 7 days, taking account in those games Fenerbahce have ended game with 10 men.
The decider of the game has been with strong and beutiful shot by Nani towards the end of the game who has brought very important win for the game in the race for a title. However, this goal by Nani is regarded of his skills and doesnt necesarilly mean that he had played very good football and in fact was hardly seen in duration of 90 minutes. In fact, key players of the game had ended up being Simon Kjaer who made important moves at the defence stopping some attacks by Basaksehirspor.
Coming to Basaksehirspor it had played good game which it tend to show when it play against big 4 teams.It is hard to say that Basaksehir deserved the win but their fought for it and didnt show any scare towards Fenerbahce.
Trabzonspor is on right track in sense of attacking football
In the game against Rizespor, Trabzonspor has shown in most parts very attacking football with wanting to score a goal but with great performance of Rizespor goalkeeper Itanje the game instead has been ended with 3:0 scoreline to Rizespor at the game yesterday. The scoreline could negatively affect to the motivation of the team, but it is important for Sadi Tekelioglu to take out positives from this game and build on it.
Trabzonspor is still far away from desired game play it is looking for but it is much ahead in sense of performance and morale compare to only few weeks ago. The job of the technical side of the club is to keep players highly motivated and with high morale if it wants to go up at the table possibly aim at least last sports for European tournmanents. From game yesterday it shows that players also try to forget about external problems with club and focus into good football.
Next week, after Turkish cup game, Trabzonspor will play against Antalyaspor which is a tough opponent and could provide high amount of motivation if it gets good result especially playing with most goal scoring of the league Samuel Eto'o. As been mentioned before, Trabzonspor desperately needs good results to raise its motivation.
Istanbul derby is crucial game for both sides.
Undoubetly, the game of the week will be Istanbul derby Besiktas against Galatasaray which also play an incredible crucial importance for league contenders. For Besiktas, it provides possibility to get an important win and carry on leadership with 2 games left until winter break while for Galatasaray game could define chances of it being in title race after the break. Quite naturally it also directly affects clubs like Fenerbahce and Akhisar Belediyespor.
It could be argued that for Galatasaray negative result could provide much more critical situation as the loss to the game could mean it will get even further from the leaders of the league and hence getting serious injury at least until start of 2nd half of the league. Besiktas as a team meanwhile is on downside and good result of the game could bring new morale and motivation which will allow them to play positive football in next 2 games until break.
Yes, this game could not be referred as title decider yet but it is very important for future and plans for next games and both teams will provide best football to get point. It might not be watchful game in sense of attacking, but it will include game with high tension. Surely, must see game.
