What happened in Turkish football today? 23.02.2017


Osmanlispor has lost to Olympiakos but had historical Europa League performance this season.

Olympiakos has ended the dream of Osmanlispor at the Europa League as it has scored 3 goals against them during 2nd half of the Europa League 2nd round 2nd leg game which has set the final results of the game.

It needs to be stated that Osmanlispor has started game at the positive manner and has played 1st half in the way it was aiming at without allowing Greek opponents to create much of the dangerous chances during the game and in fact has created dangerous chance during 11th minute of the game by Pierre Webo. The game has been played in controlled manner with both sides showing respect to each other. However, with Olympiakos raising tempo and showing more attacking football and aiming to get last 16 ticket without an extra time has led for Osmanlispor not to provide to respond to the game during 2nd half. As this draw has been announced, it has been stated that biggest problem from Osmanlispor would be an experience and as has been visible this has been case during 2nd half as it wasnt able to respond to the Olympiakos attacking football. However, Osmanlispor still needs to be happy with how it performed at its first Europa League  journey as it has experienced play-off round.

Olympiakos has shown lots of respect towards Osmanlispor until 2nd half but has turned game into its advantage by showing more agressive football which led them to find 3 goals. An experience played a crucial role with the result of the game.

Osmanlispor has got a very good performance at its Europa League debut and has certainly made it mark at this European season and has raised lots of praise from European football followers. Rather than getting sad of the result it should see as good experience at the tournament.

Besiktas gets to the Europa League last 16 with good organised football.

Besiktas has managed to get to the last 16 stage of the Europa League at the tie which it was to get through after 3:1 scoreline after 1st leg game, it has managed also to win 2nd leg game with 2:1 scoreline with the squad mainly present of players which tend not to recieve main time at recent games.

It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas due of experience factor has managed to get the game as their didnt play as effective as their did at the 1st half but always has been able to control the game and even through allowed Hapoel Beer Sheva to create number of the chances it has always been at control. Hapoel Beer Sheva did show some attacking football which was mentioned by the Senol Gunes as it could be seen from Israeli team performance during most of 1st half and start of the 2nd half as it tried its best to at least force game to get to the extra-time. However, some changes of head coach Senol Gunes during 2nd half has allowed Besiktas to get an upper hand of the game again and get a win from Cenk Tosun goal at the 87th minute.  This win of course has also brought 2 wins at this tie for Besiktas and hence extra points for Besiktas and Turkey coefficient, as Fenerbahce and Osmanlispor has failed to do so.

Hapoel Beer-Sheva needs to be stated has come to the game at the positive mood and has shown some good football as it was seen from 1st game that its brave team but lacks some quality especially next to the Besiktas. But it did give good fight despite of aggregate scoreline of 4:2.

Besiktas carries on its journey at the Europa League and will wait an opponent during last 16 draw tomorrow at the 15:00 and would come out to the Galatasaray game with high mood and confidence.

Dick Advocaat also needs to take responsibility among throwing blames into others. 

Fenerbahce has drawn with Krasnodar at the Europa League 2nd round 2nd leg game with 1:1 scoreline and has been eliminated from the tournament with total aggregate of the 2:1. However, the main problem at the team is the chaos situation at the club between administrators, head coach Dick Advocaat, players and supporters which has raised to its highest point after the game.

The main focus of the case is which is at the Fenerbahce is unfortunately for them is even bigger than yesterday's poor performance and lies even more deeper with being out of the Europa League has made this subject of team not being organised well enough even more obvious. In fact, it needs to be stated Fenerbahce players did try their best during the game with creating chances and had an huger to turn the game from 1st leg and from conceding earlier yesterday but this belief has lasted around until 60th minute. The problem mainly lies at the system where head coach Dick Advocaat doesnt seem to be willing to take responsibility or when he does it is taken lightly. Statements like its not his team, ask players why their had performed badly lately only provides problems between supporters and within players, even when its true. This statements only raises tensions and for certain head coach supports to be one at control and take responsibility of bad results.

With still being at the Turkish Cup as it would meet with Kayserispor next week at the 1st leg of the quarter-final it looks like that its only aim for them. Even through Fenerbahce is 10 points behind league leaders Besiktas and has other 3 teams ahead of them the main aim, unfortunately for them and fans, is try to stay at top 4 and dont lose its European spot for next season to Antalyaspor and Trabzonspor.
