It was almost perfect year for Besiktas
When looking at the 2016 as a whole it could been stated that it was perfect year for the Besiktas among Turkish teams even through to some extent it could have spend this year even better. But it did become champions of the Super League back in May of 2016 which by itself is huge achievement.
2015-2016 season Besiktas has experienced one of its best periods in the recent past by dominating league by winning with impressive performances by players such as Mario Gomez, Oguzhan
Ozyakup and many others. It did to some extend carry on this impressive performance to the this season and despite of not recieving same excitiment at its performance-wise it still enters to the 2017 as one of the main candidates for league title. One of the main aspects of the past year was also an opening of the Vodafone Arena in April where it had lifted its title. Besiktas CEO Fikret Orman, especially first half of the year, has been mainly dominated by him achieving many aspects which he was seeking for.
The upcoming 2017 does promise to be a successful year as it is 1 point behind leaders Basaksehirspor and would certainly aim for to defend its league title and be successful at Europa League and Turkish Cup.
Galatasaray didnt provide its best football in 2016.
Galatasaray had a pretty mixture year of 2016 as it had lost chances to get league title arleady in January of past season however it did show some improvement during this season.
However, it needs to be stated that Galatasaray has never reached to its highest performance despite of winning both Turkish Cup against Fenerbahce and Super Cup against Besiktas. One of the news which been dominated for them has been 1-year ban from European tournament due of not following FFP guidelines set by UEFA. Hence, Turkish Cup has provided them an extra motivation as not winning it could lead to ban for 2 years. It needs to be stated that club head coach Jan Olde Riekerink did recieve lots of criticism but taking account some circumstances he did some big improvements while being head coach of team and keeps them among league title contenders for 2017.
This performance is arguably is not enough to get title for Galatasaray but it can improve and certainly would improve and it can set good tasks for upcoming season.
Dick Advocaat has turned performance of Fenerbahce to 180 degrees compare to Vitor Pereira.
Fenerbahce did have a difficult year and for most part of the year didnt provide very satisfying football to its fans and football critics, mainly due of previous head coach Vitor Pereira.
The main opposition was due focussing too much into defensive and not attacking football. This didnt make many people involved at team happy despite of ending season at the 2nd place. The year has also been dominated by the Robin van Persie who was seen from unwanted player into turning into one of the stars of the team. Meanwhile, current head coach Dick Advocaat start recieving results which he and administration of club was seeking for at and does have big aims for upcoming year. Fenerbahce has ended 1st half of the season with most goals scoring team, turning Pereira critical lack of goals performance to 180 degrees. It had provided good performance at the Europa League and will have good aims at the tournament knockout stages.
Fenerbahce still has high aims for 2017 and can achieve them if the team carries on improving and playing football which is Dick Advocaat seek for. Fenerbahce is certainly team to look at for next year.
