What happened in Turkish football today? 16.09.2016


Fenerbahce needs to start providing  top football as soon as possible.

Fenerbahce has started its Europa League route of this season with a draw against easiest team at the group, Ukrainian Zorya with a help of last minute goal by the Simon Kjaer. In what is otherwise very tough group this could become a loss of two points to Fenerbahce at the final standings as group also contains Manchester United and Feyenoord.

Even through Fenerbahce had controlled ball for the most of the time at the game it still had provided problematic game and has shown that it needs to have much more creative play especially when it comes to go to the attacking. It was also observed as it was at the previous games that Fenerbahce has issues with defensive play. With Europa League has started and arleady 3 weeks has been passed at the Super League it is now time for Fenerbahce to start performing top football which is rightly everyone is awaiting from them. Fenerbahce head coach Dick Advocaat has stated that he is aware of the strength of the team and now feels ready for the top performance by the team. This is true as it been stated games are going by without very good performance given by the team so far.

Fenerbahce will play against Kasimpasa this weekend and as it is known the team didnt start very good also with having also 1 point after 3 weeks. This is good chance for Fenerbahce to show top football and restart its season.

Osmanlispor carries on impressive performance against Steaua Bucharest at the Europa League.

Osmanlispor carries on providing incredible performance at the Europa League and statistically is being best perfomed team at the Turkey so far at the European stage. This time it has managed to win Romanian side Steaua Bucharest during 1st week game.

It is only team in the Turkey which won opening game at the Europa League proper among Turkish teams and this is taking account that it has started campaign at the 2nd qualifying round, earliest stage which any Turkish team has started in this season. It has provided great game against Steaua Bucharest even before the goals has come but surely red card by Romanian side and penalty goal has changed the game from start to end as Ankara side started controlling the game from beggining to the end as the game progressed. It needs to be stated that it has won among the team which would fight for the top 2 spot and did get an important advantage for knock-out spot but of course its too early to discuss about that.

Osmanlispor head coach Mustafa Resit Akcay has once again underlined that team mainy focusses into Super League but this performance doesnt show that club gives importance to Europe and it seems like team wants to go as far as it can.

Konyaspor needs to provide more attacks if it wants to get good results at Europa League.

Konyaspor is only team among three which has lost its opening week game against Shakhtar Donetsk, but it does need to be remembered that it has also played against strongest team among three. Shakhtar has been headache team for most of the Turkish teams in the past years.

Konyaspor realising its chances of getting win against Shakhtar Donetsk are pretty low, did mainly focus into defensive game and hence has tried to stop an attacks by Ukrainian side. In fact, it did succeed that to some extend with only making one mistake during whole game which has led for a loss at the end of the game from the goal which has been crossed by winger. Konyaspor head coach Aykut Kocaman stated after game that focus at defence was given to the centre of the field, which has led mistake at the winger parts. Still Konyaspor did provide great performance against very tough opponent and has shown that it has good chances to perform good at Europa League this season. It just needs to play more brave football as it would be hard for them to get good results with focussing too much at getting draws, but again this should be seen as only tactic done to Shakhtar Donetsk.

Konyaspor despite of the loss, did show great game at its debut at the Europa League and even through not much does show some hope for performance for upcoming games at the group.
