Besiktas has deserved league title from start of the campaign
With the win against Osmanlispor during 33rd week Super League game, Besiktas has got its 14th title after 6 year break. Besiktas during whole season and also with its performance yesterday has got deserved championship taking account what as the club it had experienced in sense of difficulties.
The team had some economical issues, no stadium which it had played without for past 3 years and including this season except of 3 games. From begining of the season it was visible that main aim of the team was to get league title this year and with the help of players, head coach Senol Gunes and CEO Fikret Orman it has reached to that set target despite of all this difficulties. The team head coach Senol Gunes has also experienced his first title in his coaching career, so did CEO Fikret Orman during his administration role. Besiktas fans and team have celebrated at most this title and now would just go for fun against Konyaspor on Wednesday and will also have celebrations for next few days, including big on 19th May.
Besiktas now needs to make even better team if it wants to carry on success next season and add to resume good performance at Champions League, but team is capable of achieving this.
Galatasaray has chance to get to Europa League spot.
Galatasaray are among few teams, and only one among big 4 teams, who have target during last week of this season as it still aims to get Europa League spot at game against Kayserispor and hope that Osmanlispor wins Akhisar Belediyespor.
Galatasaray was playing an important game yesterday against Akhisar Belediyespor and with a 2:1 win against them has opened another option for last week games as it aims to get Europa League spot via league route. Galatasaray was in fact lucky with a result as Akhisar Belediyespor had played better football and some of the penalty decisions were questionable. In fact, Akhisar Belediyespor head coach Cihat Arslan did criticise referees of the game stating that win for them was stolen from them. This is very rare comments by Cihat Arslan who tends to be fair and neutral with comments after games regardless against who their play. Galatasaray needs to consider itself lucky yesterday, but we would see if it will get same luck during last weeks results.
Galatasaray will surely aim to end this season at high note despite of poor performance with Super League last game against Kayserispor and Turkish Cup final against Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce has mentally ended this season.
Even through physically players were present at the game against Genclerbirligi, mentally their had ended this season after last week results. It did manage to win the game but as stated yesterday it was allowed to aimless Genclerbirligi.
It is very hard to play games when it became clear that it will not become champions as was visible with many leagues around world all the time. It still had provided not bad performance with good last touches by Robin van Persie but the players did look like their wanted for the game to be ended as soon as possible. In fact, surely if it was asked for players not to play game without any circumstances their agree to that offer. Right now the focus is more into future of some players including Bruno Alves and Michael Kadlec being two who would surely leave team.
Next game will be against Sivasspor who needs to win to stay at the league and therefore it might not be that straightforward win for Fenerbahce and in fact Sivasspor can consider themselves lucky and timely to play against them in such crucial time for them.
