Trabzonspor has started showing brave football during 2nd half
Results from Super League 19th week game between two giants of Turkish football Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce has been ended with 1:1 scoreline with the scoreline which was specifically not good news for Trabzonspor.
Without doubt both teams needed to win game to stay at the title race however with Trabzonspor having bigger point difference and coming out to the game with 10 points at that moment league leaders Galatasaray and there were more focussed into win in this game. It needs to be stated however that Trabzonspor did start game in poor performance and didnt create many chances during 1st half and has been starting surprisingly without Jose Sosa. With Sosa coming out right in the beginning of the 2nd half of the game, Trabzonspor has started showing much more brave football and has found an important goal from Burak Yilmaz and almost has scored 2nd. Therefore, we have seen two different halves from them and 1st half has mainly been led for fear to lose game at the 1st half and as team head coach Riza Calimbay has stated himself at the end of the game change of tactics has played an important role.
With 15 games left until end of the season and 45 points at the take, Trabzonspor still are at the title race but its situation are pretty hard as teams above them are in great form which includes Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce players are in title focus mood but its important to develop right tactics.
Even through Fenerbahce has also been criticised to start game in defensive mood focussing into draw and didnt create many chances during 1st half, it did start game pretty well and until conceding game has had control of the game.
Despite of drawing game and getting draw which does affect them in title race directly, its showed a good game and even through it could be argued if it was best during this season its still can be stated that was played pretty well. Only problem was during 1st half, and that was mainly of absence of Mathieu Valbuena, it didnt manage to create high number of the chances. With introduction of Valbuena and Elmas, latter even through did make some mistakes during game has shown very positive performance and has provided great potential remembering that he is only 17-18 years old. Only problem was it right decision to bring him out in such crucial game with such dangerous scoreline. Still, Fenerbahce has shown good attitude and even through in play-wise and tactically Fenerbahce chances for league title could be questioned it is clear from players that their want this title.
Fenerbahce are mentally in right direction and capable to not lose single game for next 15 games but with slowly we getting into point where mistake can cost title, its crucial for Kocaman to work on stronger tactics.
Besiktas and Genclerbirligi would need to decide if it can carry on Turkish Cup among other fronts.
As Super League is getting slowly into the point of final sprint at the long-term marathon, Turkish Cup is also getting into the point where final is getting closer and games are getting tougher. 1st quarter-final game in this season at tournament would be between Besiktas and Genclerbirligi where both teams have strong aims.
However, with Besiktas still being at the Champions League with high aims and also Super League title race it could be stated that Genclerbirligi will put cup into higher priority even through it would see not being relegated also the top. With Bayern Munich game getting closer, its seems like that time for Besiktas to decide if it willing to carry on its dream of success of Champions League among Turkish Cup and the way would perform against Genclerbirligi would become clear of their aims. So far, Besiktas are showing pretty good performance at Turkish Cup with getting comfrotable scoreline both against Manisaspor and Osmanlispor, but it would become clear if their would do same tomorrow. Meanwhile, Genclerbirligi also have decision to see if it would aim for success at Turkish Cup in same time as it would be fighting to stay at top divison.
Therefore, it would be game between two clubs who have serious targets among Turkish Cup, even through the level are different both teams needs high focus but it promises to be good game.
