Besiktas needs to find solution against closed defensive sides.
Besiktas carries on having difficult time at Super League games after returning from Champions League as it has drawn with Kayserispor with 1:1 draw and lost another point from away game.
This time it was expected that Besiktas would respond differently following Champions League game against Leipzig as it was playing with 2nd squad and also it has coming out to the formality game.
However, at the game which could have direct consequences at least both for Besiktas and Kayserispor, Besiktas wasnt able to play their best football especially taking account that for almost whole 2nd half it has played with extra man. In fact, Senol Gunes has admitted that the team has provided worser performance after having an extra man. Besiktas even through statistically has controlled ball has lacked it creating chances and breaking closed defence of Kayserispor who needs to do did very good job and shows why at this moment it is being among title contenders during this season. Still, it is clear that Besiktas needs to solve at breaking defensive sides at the Super League if it wants to get realistic chances for league title at the end of the season.
Besiktas has more than 2 months until it would meet with Bayern Munich at the Champions League last 16 game and hence has good chance to do some comeback of lost points in upcoming weeks apart of course of 3-week midseason break.
Besiktas has been drawn with Bayern Munich at the Champions League last 16.
Meanwhile, today was also very important day for Besiktas as it has found its opponents at the Champions League which has ended up being Bayern Munich as without doubt it has been among teams who are at great form.
In fact, among all of the potential opponents it can get at the draw, Bayern Munich is one of the two teams which are leaders (other one is Shakhtar Donetsk) at their domestic league and providing a very football in recent performance. Their is some confidence at the Besiktas front right now that their had won twice are against Leipzig who are currently at 2nd place but this is without doubt very dangerous thought as 1st there is big point difference right now at Bundesliga between both sides and also Leipzig didnt have much experience at leading competition at Europe. Still, with performance of Besiktas, it does have provide some top level performance against German giants. Even through Besiktas does have advantage playing 2nd leg at home, there is danger that Bayern Munich could kill tie at 1st leg and hence Besiktas needs to get at least one goal difference loss (2:1 would be ideal if it loses) to have good hopes.
There is plus sign of this draw that Besiktas would gain experience against team like Bayern Munich but as it wanted to go far at tournament it would like to get easier opponent for sure.
Turkish Cup 5th round 2nd leg formality games provides chances for big 4 club coaches to check their reserves in competitive game.
All of the big 4 clubs, would be coming out to the formality game during Turkish Cup 5th round 2nd leg game as it does look that Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Trabzonspor looked to be killed their ties against lower division sides.
This circumstance hence provides chance for all of those 4 clubs to come out with not only 2nd squad, as was done during 1st legs, but even with reserves to get experienced at playing at such a level in young age even if the game itself doesnt provide any importance. There could be 1-2 players who would be coming out to this games from main squad or substitutes to keep their ongoing form at the game, like Negredo and Lens at Besiktas, Yasin Oztekin and Garry Rodrigues at Galatasaray, Kameni at Fenerbahce to keep their performance at ongoing level but it is expected that teams would come out with mainly reserves and names who most fans wont even know about it. And who knows maybe those players would show very good performance and fast track their door to main squad in faster manner.
As been stated all of those 4 teams unless something totally unexpected happens will get to last 16 stage of Turkish Cup and head coaches have chances to see capability of players at competitive games which will not be risked to be checked in other circumstances.
