Besiktas has got a comfortable win against Rizespor as it has played with more men for most part of the game.
Besiktas has managed to win Rizespor with 4:1 scoreline during Super League 10th week even through for most amount of game Besiktas has played with 10 men and with interesting 2nd yellow card of Saadane 30 minutes of game has been 11-to-9, but still Besiktas has shown good positive game.
Without doubt one of the key players at the Besiktas has been Mustafa Pektemek who has scored first 2 goals during game with showing good skills at goal, which was specifically impressive and good news for him and team as he didnt start at starting 11 at the team for very long time. Long time Besiktas supporters and overall Turkish football followers would remember Mustafa Pektemek as pretty good player but due of injuries and also loss of level of performance has been forgotten both at Besiktas and Turkish National Team. It needs to be admitted that prior to 1st red card of Rizespor, Besiktas did provide good game during 10 minutes but Rizespor losing player due of red card without doubt has provided an easier task for rest of the game for them and led them to create high amount of the chances. In whatever circumstances, Besiktas did win this game it was important for them to get such a confident win due of poor performance in recent period and recieving high amount of protests from supporters during Genk game at Europa League. Besiktas would be playing an important game against Basaksehirspor next week and hence it was important for them to get such a win.
With Rizespor struggling in general during game, it was specifically unlucky for them to get red card as soon as on 10th minute which led Okan Buruk to reduce any chances to go through game which he has planned as team without doubt has been aiming at least for draw in such crucial game. Still it did show some positive signs even when was 1 men behind and could raise at table with Okan Buruk.
Besiktas has got an important win prior to next week game against league leaders Basaksehirspor where it would be aiming to get into same points with them.
Fenerbahce has sacked Phillip Cocu as time has come for him to say goodbye.
Following 3:1 loss to Ankaragucu during Super League 10th week with playing very poor game, Fenerbahce administration has decided to sack its head coach Phillip Cocu with such performance during game and also during whole season.
As was remembered, Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc did state that their would not sack Cocu until mid-season, as long as there would not be urgent need to do so and taking account that team is failing to win during last 5 games and still finds itself just 1 place above relegation zone has turned Koc to make this decision. Interestingly his sacking has been just 1 day before his birthday but with performance which was shown by Fenerbahce so far has led for such an action to be done immediately. Stating that it would not be fair enough to state that Fenerbahce only issue has been head coach situation and still club needs to solve many issues. But it was visible that even through main fault wasnt with Cocu, he wasnt one who would find such solution and would quite possibly make things worser with him staying at club. This blog was among sides which he believed that Cocu would need be given time but he had enough time as team has been risking of carrying on its season at the bottom half and not getting wins which would be unacceptable for team like them.
Now their is question who would take place of Cocu as team would be meeting with Galatasaray and in what condition psychologically team will be prepared for such crucial game.
Galatasaray players are not giving fighting spirit at their games.
Galatasaray even through has been at top half of the table, currently standing at 3rd place and being 2 point behind league leaders Basaksehirspor, their also didnt manage to win last 2 games and seems to be way behind expected performance.
Galatasaray has lost to Yeni Malatyaspor with 2:0 scoreline at game where their did have chance to get full control of the game even if their did create some chances. Their is excuse that it has many injured players and its true that with absences it would not be able to provide great performance, but issue is that players who were in the field, among Muslera, Mariano and to some extend Ozan Kabak, didnt provide full fighting spirit to the game which was visible at the team. After game even
Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim has complained that team is not having team performance and he cant do much about it. It is expected that some injured players would be recovered for Super League derby game against Fenerbahce for 2nd November and knowing difficult situation which their opponents will be, it would be stressful game for both sides. Galatasaray situation is not also great and it does look like Fatih Terim who tries to solve those issues has some difficulties to find solution which is beyond his hand.
Their is expectation that some issues would be solved with some players being recovered from injury but even with them it is visible that team is not playing high level football which Fatih Terim and fans are expecting from them.
