Fenerbahce has improved as first half was progressing
Yesterday win against Sivasspor was an important one as Fenerbahce has ended first half of the Super League with 1 point behind from the leaders Besiktas. Club has shown an improving root during first half of the season, with questionable results at beginning but now team is hardly conceding goals.
Fenerbahce as remembered have lost lots number of point at the start of the league and also has been eliminated from Champions League in 3rd qualifying round game against Shakhtar Donetsk. But from mid-October comparing with now we seeing totally different club with playing with much higher motivation which could be seen from way players are playing at field. From beginning of the season head coach Vitor Pereira has stated that his aim was to make an attacking team with strong defence. It does look like players start understanding what Pereira wants him.
Looking at the table with 41 points of Besiktas as leader, Fenerbahce with 40 and Galatasaray 30 points it could be stated that fight is been Fenerbahce and Besiktas. With ways how those teams are competing it could be reasonable to be case at first weeks of 2nd half and looks like both Besiktas and Galatasaray will fight for title until end of the season.
External issues at the Trabzonspor had made difficult first half season for them.
Trabzonspor had bad period during the first half of the Super League season so far, with mainly problems being rooted outside of football results with players not recieving wages at the time being the top reason. In fact, Trabzonspor has started first 5 weeks in very high note with being only big 4 team to beat Besiktas during 2nd week of the league. However, the loss of control at the team by ex-CEO Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu and his agressive talks against referees and match-fixing has made club condition much worser.
After CEO election where Muharrem Usta was selected as club new CEO and appointment of head coach Sadi Tekelioglu there was sense of calmness and raise of morale seen by players even through some results did not bring as good results as were expected. Quite rightly, club is currently looking to end season at highest place as possible, possibly clinching European tournament spots, and focuses into future by appointing possibly Mircea Lucescu and bring long-awaited league title.
The club as been stated now need to get some more points at 2nd half, possibly bring good results
against other big teams in Turkey and get to top 5 positions at the table.
Genclerbirligi sacks Yilmaz Vural after one week at his post.
Genclerbirligi has decided to sack Yilmaz Vural from head coach position after only appointing him last week. The club is known to have highest amount of head coaches and sacking of coach which had most amount of clubs makes things even more ironic.
Yilmaz Vural has only played one game at the Super League against weakest team at league so far Eskisehirspor which it has lost with 2:0 scoreline. Possibly Genclerbirligi CEO Ilhan Cavcav who was expecting to get points from Vural realised this cant happen if club losses to weakest team at the league. But giving him only such short notice is very foolish especially when club is been in big trouble.
With this atittude it is very likely that none of the Turkish coaches would like to work for Genclerbirligi as their would like to get guarentee to keep their job for long time and letting them achieving tasks which been set to them and getting there step-by-step.
