What happened in Turkish football today? 30.12.2016


Fenerbahce has shown its best performance at the Turkish Cup.

Fenerbahce has ended 2016 with a comfortable win against Menemen Belediyespor at the Turkish Cup 4th week game where it has shown best performance at the Turkish Cup so far this season and is certainly looking for next year.

As Fenerbahce head coach Dick Advocaat has stated after the game, during the game both players at the field and subsitute have shown whole concentration and wanted to win the game and this performance to some extend has satisfied will of Advocaat which was looking for more attacking style game. The recent performance of the team does show that Fenerbahce is becoming slowly an offensive focussed team with a strong defensive game. The recent rise of performance of Fernandao has also certainly will keep him to stay at the team until end of the season, as he had scored hat-trick yesterday.

Fenerbahce will be looking for next season at the both tournaments hoping to provide much better performance and would seek to finish at top so it could avoid Besiktas at the last 16 stage of the tournament.

Trabzonspor doesnt provide much hope for 2nd part of the season.

The way Trabzonspor has played its last official game of the 2016 did not only describe this season but whole year of 2016 in overall as it had experienced one of the worst 12 month period at its history.

Trabzonspor as been stated at yesterday blog was coming to the game as the favourite due of level of teams and also beating them with 5:0 scoreline during last week game. This week as in previous game has once identified factor of Trabzonspor not being highly motivated and not being able to provide top class football which everyone at the community are awaiting them. Finishing Super League with good results seems to be a difficult task right now but getting to the last 16 stage of the Turkish Cup seems to also hard aim for them now, even through it is achievable. The team does need urgent solutions at the mid-season transfer window and training camps.

Trabzonspor cant find out a streak of good and comfortable wins and does look like would suffer in rest of the season as well with the results.

Basaksehirspor has shown much impressive performance so far this season.

Undoubetedly, the most impressive team of the season so far has been Basaksehirspor who will enter to the 2nd half as the leaders with 1 point advantage over Besiktas and surely as the team would aim for leadership.

This performance by Basaksehirspor it needs to be stated was not expected by anyone but with the quality players team has with good experience at the top class teams with head coach Abdullah Avci has played an important role for such an impressive performance by the team. Basaksehirspor didnt yet lose any games at the Super League with obtaining 4 draws, one being against Besiktas. It plays a well-focussed game without having too much issues at the controlling game. It is known that team aims to become stronger in midseason transfer window, including a transfer of Genclerbirligi player Irfan Can Kahveci. It is still unclear if Basaksehirspor would be able to become Turkish Leicester City but it would certainly carry on giving this impressive performance.

It does look like players believe that their can achieve following tasks but still keep their feet on ground. Bursaspor did show that it is possible for teams outside of big clubs to win league title in the Turkey but among physically performance it is important to stay focus.
