Galatasaray didnt have much trouble at the Turkish Cup 2nd leg of semi-final after confident win at the 1st leg against Rizespor.
Galatasaray become first finalists at the Turkish Cup season of 2015/16 with ending 2nd leg semi-final game against Rizespor with 0:0 scoreline. Taking account that it has won 1st leg game with 3:1 scoreline it has controlled game in good manner without much stress.
To some extend the game was played in a manner which was expected by them since their have won away with comfortable scoreline of 3:1 and not many people were expecting for Rizespor to find 3 goals to get to the final of the tournament. Rizespor did find number of attacks including one at the 1st half where it got chance to score to the empty goal, if that position has happened to be goal that we might have seen possibly a different game for rest of the game. Tempo of the game was pretty fast at the game with both sides providing attacking sides but from reaction of Galatasaray when their didnt score from good positions it was obvious that their were confident their will get to the final. As been stated before several times Galatasaray is seeing this season of Turkish Cup where important target as with failing at the league and without being clear if it will get Europa League route it has provided more focus to the Turkish Cup and is only one game away at winning the cup.
If there will not be big surprise at tomorrow game between Fenerbahce and Konyaspor, their opponents will be Fenerbahce who have 3:0 advantage after 1st game. Right now team will focus to Besiktas game is no less important for them compare to their opponents as their aim for Europa League spot at the Super League also.
Rizespor task was arleady difficult after 3:1 loss after 1st game and it didnt manage to bring big surprise even through their did try. Right now at the league their close to relegation zone with 5 points advantage and need to win this weekend to become more safe for being next season at top division.
Fenerbahce head coach Vitor Pereira is unlikely to expect loss to Konyaspor even if it has comfortable advantage.
Fenerbahce gives break from its title race it has with Besiktas with the Turkish Cup semi-final 2nd leg game against Konyaspor at the game which it seems to recieve ticket to the final as it has won away with 3:0 scoreline.
As been stated earlier at this blog, Fenerbahce has started a very impressive winning streak during last games of the season and the 1st leg game against Konyaspor was among them where team is showing big motivation with 3:0 score. With impressive leadership after 1st leg it would be expected for Fenerbahce to play with its 2nd squad however Fenerbahce head coach Vitor Pereira will expect from those players to show impressive performance. Konyaspor might try its luck at coming back with at least scoring 3 goals its needs however that will be hard task for them but surely it will provide impressive football. It will be foolish to expect that Konyaspor will not try to win.
Fenerbahce is having very important game against Basaksehirspor during 32nd week of the Super League and hence it will look to keep motivation high at the team from tomorrow's game and at least not to lose the game.
Uncertainty lies at the future of Mario Gomez in Besiktas.
One of the talking points right now in Turkish media is would Besiktas player Mario Gomez, loaned from Fiorentina, will be signed to his team or would leave and look for other alternative club to develop his career. Even through there is high expectation he would stay, Gomez not giving direct answer to this issue raises some questions.
In fact, Besiktas arleady start looking for alternatives, including Juventus player Mario Mandzukic, but its main aim for now is to make sure that Mario Gomez stays at the team. Besiktas tries to convince Gomez by stating that he might find difficulty and providing similar success at other teams.
It is known that Gomez is happy at the team and might decide to stay at the team. However, there were strong rumours going around media that Gomez actually told to administrators he doesnt want to stay but this news has been declined by Gomez himself stating that he is now focussed into league title.
This question is been talked mainly due of the decision of Mario Gomez to move deadline of his final decision for few days or otherwise it will be big surprise if he leaves team in the summer.
