Besiktas has made 3 out of 3 wins at Champions League with help of Cenk Tosun.
Besiktas carries on 100% record at the Champions League with winning 2:1 scoreline against Monaco with two goals from Cenk Tosun who has brought a historical win to the Istanbul giants and are almost at the knockout stages of the tournament after mid-way of the group stage.
Besiktas among showing such incredible performance for its level has also become 1st Turkish team to have perfect start of the Champions League. It needs to be stated that game has started in the equal form with both teams creating chances but as game has been developing Besiktas has got much better control of the game and has provided a confident game showing once again to Turkey and Europe that its the team at the level to compete at the Champions League. It needs to be also mentioned that Falcao goal during 30th minutes did help Besiktas to concentrate even more to the game and has led them to play much more confident football game. This game has also shown that Besiktas main priority would be Champions League compare to Super League at least until it will be eliminated. Meanwhile, two goals from Cenk Tosun has once again made him best player of the game and has shown certainly one of the best performances during Champions League 3rd week games.
Monaco meanwhile carries on showing very poor performance and is currently with 1 points at the Champions League having difficulty to get to the knockout stages even through it is still open group for 2nd place spot assuming that Besiktas is currently focussing into getting 1st place.
Besiktas has also gained most points at its history of the tournament with 9 points and this taking account that only half games has been played. Besiktas is arleady written history but it aims to write even more and bigger trademarks at the tournament possibly even aiming for 100% record at end of group stage.
Riza Calimbay is currently closest name to become Trabzonspor new coach.
Following termination of contract with Ersun Yanal, Trabzonspor has started looking for new appointment as it is now currently focussed to make an agreement either with Riza Calimbay and Fatih Terim in upcoming days.
As been stated by our blog yesterday, it does look two names which are closest in this circumstances are either Antalyaspor ex-coach Riza Calimbay or Turkish National Team ex-coach Fatih Terim. Calimbay did state to Turkish sports radio station Radyo Spor that he did have negotiations with
Trabzonspor and would like to join the team even through there is still not official statement. But taking account that Fatih Terim has given focus into solving an issue with his termination of contract with Turkish Football Federation and also close relationship with Galatasaray does look to be name which is less likely to join then Calimbay. It needs to be stated however reason Calimbay is currently without work is that he was able to fulfill expectations of Antalyaspor, which does raise questions if Trabzonspor would take this into account when trying to make deal with him. Therefore, if he would be joining Trabzonspor it is certain that he would need to show better result than he did in previous team.
Therefore, with taking account of Fatih Terim current issues it does look like Riza Calimbay is closer for Trabzonspor role but there might be other names or developments taking place at the team.
Akhisarspor is playing an attacking football and gets results on return.
Akhisarspor is the main catalyst for Trabzonspor being at the mess by beating them with 6:1 during Super League 8th week game, but it needs to be stated that with its head coach Okan Buruk it was providing a great football and now seats at 3rd place with 16 points behind leaders Galatasaray.
Among Goztepe, both meanwhile geographically being from same region in Turkey, are being main surprises of this season so far as their both had gathered 16 points and are showing an incredible high level performance with recieving an important points so far. In fact, Akhisarspor with Okan Buruk since his appointment has shared leadership at most gathered points with Galatasaray with by itself is very incredible result from Okan Buruk. It could be stated that Akhisarspor would be expected to carry on with this performance and provide good results and hard times to every club at their league and would certainly aim for top 6 position at the end of the season with such a performance. One of the reasons is style of play introduced by Okan Buruk with attacking focussed game which would bring lots of results in return as long as it done tactically well.
Surely, Akhisarspor is team to look for this season and very likely their would aim for European spots as season progresses but still its early days.
