Fenerbahce win has come late but not too late.
After very dissapointing start and showing worst start of the season in league history with only 1 point after 3 weeks, Fenerbahce has got a very good and strong response against Kasimpasa by beating them with 5:1 scoreline. Even through the opponent didnt provide much troube to the them, it was important win in sense of motivation and confidence to the team.
It needs to be stated, as it was mentioned in our blog yesterday, that Kasimpasa did play game very poorly and didnt provide any worries for Fenerbahce and hence it will be hard to analyse game in the sense of strength of Fenerbahce. However, the fact that Emmanuel Emenike and Jeremain Lens has played a great game with assists and also fact that goal has been scored by 5 different players means that players and team as overall has obtained high motivation which it desperately needed. Right now its important for a team, which surely aims for league title and success at the Europa League it needs to set this winning streak with 3 important games: Gaziantepspor, Feyenoord and Osmanlispor prior to the national team break. It has also good chances to reduce point difference from its main rivals, Besiktas and Galatasaray as their would play against each other.
Fenerbahce would surely hope for a draw to be taken from that Istanbul derby game and undoubtedly aim for a win against Gaziantepspor. As it is known the 5th week at the league even through is not crucial, its a week which known to more or less structure the league at the table. Hence, even through this win could be seen late its not too late for Fenerbahce to start changing its season and raise up at the table.
Trabzonspor needs to win Serhat Ardahanspor with comfortable score to regain a bit confidence from community.
Among top 4 teams in the Turkey, Trabzonspor is the earliest team to start its journey at the Turkish Cup where it would meet with an amateur club Serhat Ardahanspor where it would aim to obtain a good scoreline and hence raise motivation following dissapointing start of the season which supposed to be transition season for a team.
As would been expected, Trabzonspor would be using youth players and substitutes at the game which would allow head coach Ersun Yanal to study his team and become aware of the strength of his youth team even through Serhat Ardahanspor might not be too strong opponent to make this clear. Even through main players will not be playing at the game it would also raise their motivation and a bit for the fans who are known to be very unhappy with how team has started the season. Trabzonspor head coach Ersun Yanal has recieved lots of pressure from league performance and at least with getting good results he could a bit reduce high number of criticism which he recieves lately.
Trabzonspor even if playing with reserves and young players does come out much strong favourite and even if win by small margin could recieve high number of criticism from local Trabzon media and fans so bigger margin better for a team.
Parties show signs of away fans derby game fans ban to lifted.
This week is very important for Turkish football as it is opportunity to lift the ban for away fans during the derby games as the first meeting between Istanbul mayor Vahip Sahin Club's Union CEO Goksel Gumusdag, Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman and Galatasaray CEO Dursun Ozbek has been taken place.
The main focus of this meeting has been regarded about lifting ban for the Super League 5th week derby game between Besiktas and Galatasaray to be played on 24th September, but this decision would surely also end the ban for every single derbies this season. During today's meeting, all of the parties has stated that it could be good decision to lift the ban and that there were seeking for, hence providing messages or chance that the ban would be lifted on Thursday in the meeting where all parties would make decision after considering the police and security departments view also. Even through the events at the Super Cup final this season has shown and this blog did mention that it is too early to lift the ban, the good will by club's to lift the ban is possitive factor. But it is an important note for club's CEO also to mae sure that there will do their best for negative events will not take place on derby game days around stadiums.
It is good sign that all parties are showing interest to lift the ban but it is still unclear what decision would be made due of security reasons. Any decision would be seen reasonably when made on 22nd September.
