Besiktas has got calm win without giving too much effort
Besiktas has got a comfortable and to some extend modest win against Sivas Belediyespor, which competes at the 2nd league, with goals scored by Cenk Tosun and Mustafa Pektemek. The fact that goal scored by substitutes who used to be a key players in a previous seasons shows that those players still are playing good football and aim to get to starting 11 of the team. But with players like Mario Gomez and Ricardo Quaresma this task could be very difficult.
The fast goal by Cenk Tosun undoubetdly scored by 6th minute had made game easier for Besiktas, as with later first goal would come from strong team might bring unnecessary panic from a team which tend to happen to be big 4 teams. After scoring goal so early Besiktas was able to control game as it wanted and with red card at 14th minute by Sivas Belediyespor player has made task much easier. Only problem which Besiktas is red card recieved by Alexander Milosevic which was needless as Besiktas was coming to a calm win of the game as game progressed.
Another factor was the poor condition of the field which provided lack of playing for both clubs but especially for Besiktas. However, there is no need to get too much criticism for this issue as Sivas Belediyespor is 2nd league team and will be understandable of the condition of facilities for lack of finances. However, the game could be played at different stadium. After this game, meanwhile, Besiktas has got 2 games out of 2 at the Turkish Cup and will play 3rd game against Trabzon 1961, game which would decide which team would pass to last 16 arleady in very likely way.
Coming to Sivas Belediyespor, being a weakest team at the group it will be understanding for them to at least get 1 point or surprise win at this group stage but it almost impossible to qualify next stage even before games were started. However, experienced recieved from playing against Besiktas could be very good for a team.
Antalyaspor win was even bigger win for Ozbayrakli and van Persie.
The game between Fenerbahce and Antalyaspor at the Turkish Cup yesterday has provided incredible opportunity to show themselves to Fenerbahce head coach Vitor Pereira for players who tend to be substituted but were bought to be regulars, namely Robin van Persie and Sener Ozbayrakli.
Sener Ozbayrakli goal has been talked around the world after the game, with Russians going so far to compare it with flying rocket. It is important for Ozbayrakli to make into eyes around the world and also for Fenerbahce to make talking points while it has high expectations to achieve at Europa League. Another factor was two goals scored by Robin van Persie which was observed at the game has risen morale of the player as it was almost first time when Robin van Persie smiled after arriving to Istanbul.
In overall, Fenerbahce has provided a very good performance and will now focus into last game before break against Sivasspor with whole team being determined to win the game and become as big title contenders in winter.
There are lots to do for Galatasaray in winter break.
Even through in game-wise Galatasaray are still far away from perfect football at which it could be stated that it is in level to fight for league title, it still has managed to win 3 official games. Of course the opponents and how team has played can be questioned, but club has got morale and motivation from this wins which it was lacking just few weeks ago.
Galatasaray as a team will now has two tasks at upcoming weeks, first obviously win against Kayserispor and secondly complete transfer of Kasimpasa player Ryan Donk and look for other options to make squad much stronger. Galatasaray as a team is getting into winning mentality slow but it needs more to provide this spirit compare to now.
One thing is certain team head coach Mustafa Denizli has difficult task awaiting for him in upcoming weeks but he is capable of managing him. Denizli at winter break would work at existing squad at providing them better football and also work with new additions to the team. If this is done in right manner, we will have new beginning by a team in January.
