Both Fenerbahce and Konyaspor has provided good game but Konyaspor wanted game much more.
Fenerbahce didnt manage to use its home advantage against Konyaspor during Super League 25th week game as it has lost game with 3:2 scoreline. Even through Fenerbahce did try to provide good football, it was observed that psychologically it doesnt believe to themselves as it became also more visible of importance of Jeremain Lens at the team.
It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce did also lose lots of the points when Lens was present at the team, but when he is at the team he provides fighting spirit individually which also pushes team to go forward in overall. With the factor that Konyaspor has provided full confidence towards the game as it was obviously that their wanted to win the game. In addition with there being strong rumours that Konyaspor head coach Aykut Kocaman plans to join Fenerbahce in upcoming season this win at least for fans would demand even more for Kocaman to join team and Dick Advocaat leaving to the team. To some extend this game could be an opportunity for Dick Advocaat to prove as being better than Kocaman but the didnt achieve that. It was pretty an exciting game with both sides providing good performance, but it would been argued with how game was played that Konyaspor has deserved even more. One of the bad news for Fenerbahce meanwhile has been development that Fernandao is reported to have dislocated shoulder during the game.
Konyaspor has provided a great and brave football as it became visible from start of the game that it wanted to win the game and has shown thıs focus end of the game with beautiful goals from both sides. Meanwhile, this game has also been a historical win for Konyaspor as it has won its first game at the Sukru Saracoglu in its history.
As been stated, this win would lead to the Fenerbahce fans and administrators to get even more close for the appointment of Konyaspor head coach Aykut Kocaman to the team next season. With this performance and result Dick Advocaat would have hard period at the teamö especially after announcing that he will end his career at the end of the season.
Besiktas has drawn with Olympique Lyon at the Europa League quarter-final.
Following an impressive win against Olympiakos at the Europa League last 16 stage with overall scoreline of the 5:2, regardless of yesteday game needless red card by the Vincent Aboubakar it has qualified to the quarter-final stage where it will with Olympiaque Lyon.
Looking among the teams which were available at the Europa League, such as Genk, Anderlecht and Ajax, Lyon is among the most toughest opponents which could be available for the Besiktas as it is seen as among main favourites to win the tournament among Manchester United. However, this doesnt mean that chances for Besiktas to qualify to semi-final taking account that Besiktas has played 1 half with extra men against opponent who needed only goal to be at this stage apart of Besiktas and also it has found 2 counter-attacks goals at this circumstances does show how focussed is Besiktas during the games. Following yesterday's game press conference Senol Gunes has stated that his team still takes Super League as priority but yesterday game and also being 2 steps behind of the Europa League final in Stochkolm it will not be surprised that slowly this tournament will become priority.
Even through it could be argued if Besiktas is still unbeatable team in Europe in overall, it has proved several times this season that it is very tough team to beat and Olympique Lyon is certainly aware of this.
Both Trabzonspor and Galatasaray would look for a win at the game against each other.
Turkish Super League 25th week game between Trabzonspor and Galatasaray as been stated in previous blogs will be certainly a big test for both teams as Trabzonspor would play its most tough game after great revival during 2017 while Igor Tudor at Galatasaray would also have another big test following Besiktas, but this time knowing team better.
In fact, for both teams taking account that the difference between teams is 6 points could really identify the aims for rest of the season as with Trabzonspor winning the game it will get closer to the Europa League spot while for Galatasaray would mean it would be able to get more confident at top 4 spot for rest of the season likely. Trabzonspor more importantly would aim to carry on its great performance for 2017 as it could set mind for next season and get into summer into high motivation regardless how it ends season. Therefore, the game would be certainly played between two clubs which would only aim for a win, which likely to keep tempo high even through there is chance that Galatasaray might consider draw as better result than losing game. Meanwhile at Galatasaray it is not certain yet if Jose or Wesley Sneijder would start at starting 11, as Sneijder did state to team that he is ready.
Surely, the following game is among most awaited at this weekend and the result would lead teams to reconsider their aims for rest of the season during national team break.
