Fenerbahce starts season with a win but didnt satisfy much with tempo.
Fenerbahce has started its 2023-24 Super League season with 2:1 scoreline win against Gaziantep which has played its first competitive game since devastating earthquake as Edin Dzeko did find 2 early goals but red card of opponent surprisingly has reduced tempo of the team.
It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce in interesting manner did provide stronger performance on the field when it was on 11-on-11, compare to 10-on-11 as it did lose tempo of the game and didnt get into many chances and have also conceded goal in the end of the 1st half. It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce has shown pretty effective performance in the start of the game as Edin Dzeko did find 2 great goals showing that he joined this side to find goals and help side to win games and hence titles. However, it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce didnt manage to carry on providing strong and attacking game after Maxim has got into red card from 2nd which could be due of showing some relaxation mentally. Similar case could be stated has happened during Maribor game on midweek and hence Fenerbahce possibly would need to find ways into providing top level performance for 90 minutes.
Gaziantep in their part did have good start of the game as things didnt go for them as they have provided pretty aggressive game which led for lots of fouls for them. But after red card of Maxim it did look like side did come into themselves providing much more pressure to Fenerbahce goal and did find some chances with 10-on-11 at the end of the game.
Fenerbahce hence did start a league with a win but it still has areas which it needs to improve and provided much more pressure after opponent red card and needs to find ways to show high tempo for 90 minutes.
Galatasaray lacked creativity against Trabzonspor
Title holders has started with a draw against Kayserispor and it needs to be stated in all fairness that its been lucky to get such score as Kayserispor did look more creative and dangerous as Galatasaray lacked creativity on field.
It needs to be mentioned that compare to previous season where it did show strong attacking and creative game, this performance has not been seen during this game which could be due of side not having clear attacker on starting 11 as some players were not physically ready or due of Okan Buruk tactical game. Stating that it needs to be stated that Kayserispor has also provided an organised defensive game on the field with preventing Galatasaray to get confident on the field and despite of showing some good defensive game, it did create some of its chances and has been close to find goal including hitting goal. Even through this has been only first game of the season, there are signs that Galatasaray needs to improve.
Galatasaray continues its habit of having poor start of the season which it had in recent season and does have potential, but this performance will not be enough against Trabzonspor next week.
Besiktas would aim to show positive game against Fatih Karagumruk in opener.
Besiktas are going to start its new season against Fatih Karagumruk which does tend to show strong and open game and has known to provide some issues to big 4 as both sides would aim to have good start of new season.
Besiktas did recieve lots of criticism including at our blogs for having too quiet transfer window this summer but it needs to be admitted that side does have pretty good squad which does provide good performance collectively as it has been seen at Conference League qualifying games so far. Besiktas would be aiming to show strong attacking game as role of attackers has been present but without doubt it would also need to focus into defensive game as Fatih Karagumruk could provide strong attacking game themselves as it very likely would focus to continue an attacking positive game which it shown in previous season.
Besiktas are seen as favourites due of favourite but as we know opening games of the season could bring some surprises.
