Besiktas as expected did have some tough moments against Ajax
Ajax got confident win against Besiktas as has been expected with 2:0 scoreline with controlling game as Turkish side did come out to game with high number of absences and very far from ideal squad.
Besiktas it needs to be admitted, especially before conceding goal did provide defensive game but in same time did try to get into some opportunities with Michy Batshuayi hitting into post during his attack as it is been most difficult position. In fact, until Berghuis did score for Ajax on 17th minute, Besiktas did provide resistance but after that moment Besiktas did lose focus and belief which been even more reduced after conceding 2nd goal. As game went on Ajax has played 2nd half that it did led for them to control game even more without providing too much pressure and hence reason for game to end is not good defensive and attacking game from Turkish side but due of Ajax finding 2:0 scoreline to be enough. Still, with so many injuries which Besiktas came out it did led them to get such result and to some extend it did provide game in better manner which would been expected from them.
There was strong belief that Ajax would get pretty not challenging game with getting confident scoreline, even through result from expectation could be seen pretty modest but it did dominate game from start to an end.
Besiktas as expected did have tough game but it tried to show some good game which it did managed to do so in some moments for 90 minutes.
Trabzonspor continues to show some positive aspects despite drawing game.
Trabzonspor has got back-to-back 1:1 draw and also red card with this time losing points against Alanyaspor but still managed to show some promising football which would be providing trust and belief to its supporters.
As been noted on previous blog entries, Alanyaspor does provide some positive football with open game and it been continuing to do so providing some issues to Trabzonspor and providing pressure especially during 1st half but it needs to be noted as expected Trabzonspor did provide similar response to its opponents with showing strong confident attacking game. What is important for them that after getting 2nd yellow card of Turkmen, Trabzonspor continued to be providing attacking game to its opponent and to some extend did improve its level of performance as game progressed. This performance despite of loss of points without doubt would keep confidence high and if it solves out getting red cards it would be starting getting wins again for sure.
Trabzonspor hence as side is being in very good form and would continue to provide needed strong game in upcoming games for sure.
Altay could get European spot in the end of this season.
Without doubt, one of the biggest surprises during this season has been Altay which is currently being at 3rd spot and provides very confident performances with strong positive game.
Even through Altay does seem to be struggling against strong opponents with losing to Fenerbahce and drawing against absent Besiktas, it does provide strong confident game at each game and would likely focus into 5th spot which would be European spot. So far, this site do some extend reminds performance of Hatayspor which showed very impressive game after being appointed to top league and likely to be continuing to do so in upcoming weeks. It is here for side to be aware of its level of performance which without doubt Mustafa Denizli, coach of team, has achieved with its limited squad and would continue to be getting impressive results from mediocre sides.
It still early stages of the season but Altay has shown that it could focus into stable position at top 10 in the end of the season.
