Fenerbahce ends group stage with performance which defines whole their season.
Despite of poor performance at the Super League, where it is located at relegation zone, Fenerbahce has managed to carry on at Europa League 2nd round with providing still poor performance against Spartak Trnava.
With announcement of Ersun Yanal as club's new head coach for 1.5 years, Erwin Koeman wasnt able to end his last game at the main position of the team with a win and also has shown pretty poor performance. Even through it could be stated that this result should be seen normal as it didnt matter much for both sides, this performance also has provided a view of whole season for Fenerbahce. With an appointment of Ersun Yanal, it needs to be stated that he would have many works to do, to improve overall performance of this team and get to the level which he made them champions in the early April and it would not be an easy task. Without doubt team would need high amount of transfers with quality players during mid-season transfer window if it wants to get good results both domestically and also at Europa League.
Fenerbahce and Galatasaray would find out its opponent at knockout stage of Europa League on 17th December, where their awaits sides at the level of Champions League.
Besiktas has lost its passionate performance which we used to see from them in last 3 seasons.
Following high level performance at Champions League last seasons and also relatively easy group at Europa League, Besiktas has been expected to get to 2nd round of competition without much difficulty but it has shown huge dissapointment.
Besiktas whole season and also game against Malmo which took place yesterday which it has lost with 1:0, when even draw could have been enough for them has led them opportunity for European spring. Besiktas it needs to be stated did provide high amount of the attacks and has been one who has been creating chances, but it is clear that team has lost its passionate game which we became used from team during last 3 seasons. Players are not able to show same performance and absence of Talisca is been felt during whole season. Surely, direct red card of Ricardo Quaresma at very critical moment of the game has created without doubt also big problems with game developing and has costed team to get to the knockout stage of the tournament. It is crucial for a team without doubt to identify what went wrong during game and not repeat them once again.
Right now, Besiktas would be focussing rest of its season towards Super League as it needs to do many things in this front if it wants to get league title starting with Trabzonspor game on 16th December.
Akhisarspor showed best that their could at Europa League.
Even through Akhisarspor has ended group stage at Europa League with 1 point and 9 points behind 3rd placed Standard Liege, it could be stated that team did provide its best performance it could, with focussing into positive performance.
Foremost, its crucial to be aware that expectation from Akhisarspor has been low from beginning of group stage and getting at least point, which it did during game against Standard Liege would be seen as strong success. It is important that team despite of being such underdog at the group, did show some brave and attacking football in their games and apart of Sevilla game which it is has lost with 6:0 scoreline, it did provide some difficult moments to the opponents. Aim for teams like Akhisarspor is to gain experience, if its uncapable to create surprise results, and it has got this without doubt from their games at Europa League and could get this experience positively to upcoming domestic games.
Once again, their is no reason for Akhisarspor to be ashamed and it did show performance which would led them to end group stage with upper heads.
