Besiktas and Konyaspor has shown everyone why their had great season last year.
Besiktas game against Konyaspor during 2nd week of the Super League has shown why those two teams has been shown as the most successful and exciting teams of the last season as both teams has shown top football and it needs to be stated that Konyaspor did show signs that it wanted to win the game a bit more compare to its opponents.
Compare to opening week against Alanyaspor, Konyaspor has shown to the Besiktas that this season will not be as easy for them as it was previous season and the level of league has been risen higher. Besiktas did play some positive football but did have troubles at creating chances for most time and even before Necip Uysal has recieved red card, Konyaspor has shown some control of game. One of the factors of course of this could be factor that team was played at home ground in the Konya and it was better team compare to last season as it has prepared itself during summer transfer window for Europa League. Besiktas did show however that it does have issues at the front, and even through Talisca and Adriano were not able for today's game at current side its not in same level. However, Cenk Tosun and Olcan Sahan did show that their still can score an important goals this season.
Konyaspor meanwhile has shown pretty promising football with nice attacks and showing it can control game which could be initial for them also at the Europe. It does look their will be tough team to beat again this season and would fight for top 5 spots during this season.
Besiktas will be going into the national team break which could be a chance for a team's newly signed players to be more get used to their new side and quite possibly we might see different starting 11 at the 3rd week of the Super League against Karabukspor. This team is good enough to fight for title, but it doesnt need some improvement and adjustments at squad.
Fenerbahce has entered to Champions League style group but it can get to last 32.
Fenerbahce has been drawn into very tough group at the Europa League draw, with the group has been referred as in level of the Champions League by Fenerbahce vice-CEO Muharrem Usta and Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho.
After qualifying to the group stage with easy 2 leg game against Grasshoppers, Fenerbahce has recieved most tough group at whole tournament with teams such as Manchester United and Feyenoord with Zorya being weakest link. Fenerbahce performance against Zorya in two games should end surely with 6 points if it wants to qualify and also aim for the winning games at its home ground. In fact, it can regain around 10 points with such a performance. Another story of the group meanwhile is surely getting into same group with Feyenoord which means it would be return for Dirk Kuyt to Istanbul and also return to Feyenoord (also to Manchester United) for Robin van Persie, clubs where players made very good marks. Fenerbahce can qualify from this group as it provides great game but it is certain that Dick Advocaat needs to improve team especially in attacking wise.
Fenerbahce as been mentioned above needs to aim to win its games at home with at least drawing with Manchester United. It can get to last 32 from this group but it would be tough task.
Osmanlispor has chance to fight for its 2nd spot at the group.
One of the most talked teams during this Europa League qualifying stage inside the Turkey has been respective success of the Osmanlispor which from its first try has managed to get into group stage and would certainly aim to get to last 32 where it get not hard group taking account that it got into via pot 4.
Osmanlispor would fight for the first two spots with Spanish side Villareal, Romanian side Steaua Bucharest and Swiss side Zurich. Obviously, among those Osmanlispor will fight with Steaua and Zurich teams as VIllareal quite naturally expected to take this group by ease unless there will be any surprises. Both those teams have an advantage over by Osmanlispor by being experienced at this stage however so far Osmanlispor has shown great responses during qualifiers and has proven that it will not be easy opponent. Steua Bucharest does show to be tough opponent with great name and history and in fact did show good results recently at the Europa League, however Manchester City did beat them with an aggregate of 6:0 during Champions League play-off round which does show that their not as tough as name suggests. It will be hard job but Mustafa Resit Akcay arleady showed Europe what he is capable of.
Crucial thing here for Osmanlispor also believe itself and enjoy this experience with trying their best to make their mark in Europe.
