What happened in Turkish football today? 21/09/2018


Fenerbahce has provided very poor performance during Dinamo Zagreb game.

Fenerbahce has provided an incredible and unexpected poor performance against Dinamo Zagreb during Europa League 1st week game and has played very slow football without able to get control of the game.

It did look from Fenerbahce performance that it didnt manage to get towards the game from start until end of the game and has allowed Dinamo Zagreb to control game as their want and it was visible that Istanbul side players didnt try to prevent Dinamo players during defensive game for most amount of the game especially during conceded goals as their have managed to get to  dangerous zones. Quite naturally following game Fenerbahce head coach Phillip Cocu has recieved high amount of criticism for unable to motivate players and let them provide great game tactically. Stating that, it wasnt only problem and quality of players but mainly due of Fenerbahce players not having any willingness to provide any performance during the day. This indifference from Fenerbahce without doubt has raised high amount of questions from supporters and does raise problem of how team would be performing at very important game against Besiktas during Super League 6th week game.

It needs to state meanwhile that Fenerbahce has qualified to Europa League knockout stages each time it has participated at the tournament but has lost its openning games so there is hope for upcoming 5 games.

Besiktas has won Sarpsborg with 3:1 scoreline with their performance during 2nd half.

Besiktas during its Europa League 1st week game against weakest link at the group Sarpsborg 08 has provided its performance with two different halves and with help of Ryan Babel who entered to the field in start of 2nd half has won game with 3:1 scoreline.

It needs to be admitted that Besiktas didnt provide great game during 1st half and couldnt get towards mood of the game with providing slow tempo and hardly creating any chances with possibility of not taking seriously the game. With entrance of Ryan Babel whose due of his level of performance and experience has got game into much more seriousness mode has pushed team forward and with finding goal at 51st minute has created number of crucial chances and has led them to win game. Only problem which could be seen with Besiktas that it still far away from showing dominant game which we are used with this side for past 2 seasons, and hence it might need to raise tempo at upcoming derby game against Fenerbahce as it would be hard to perform against them at away game on 24th September. One of the possible views of the game has been performance of Adem Ljajic as he does show he has skill of providing great assists during game and has great vision.

Still, Besiktas has managed to open Europa League campaign with crucial win as it aims to go until final of this season competition and do achieve that it couldnt lose points at this game.

Akhisarspor looked good against Krasnodar despite of loss. 

Despite of losing to Krasnodar at Europa League 1st week game with 1:0 scoreline and coming out to the group as weakest link for certain, it has provided a great attacking game against their opponents creating number of great chances.

In fact, conceding only one goal from Krasnodar with taking account that their much more experienced at this field could be seen as good outcome for them. Even through many players didnt play at this level in their career, their have shown pretty brave football even through it did take time to get into the mood of the competition which was also among reason why their had conceded goal. Still, its important to notice that it wasnt an easy win for Krasnodar and taking account at the level of teams and also level of Akhisarspor in general it could be seen as good outcome for their level and without doubt side has got an important experience. Of course, it would meet with their opponents who are most stronger at the group but Akhisarspor even if would lose those games could use this as advantage in sense of getting experience with its performance.

Therefore, it wasnt bad start for Akhisarspor in Europa League as it shown good performance.
