Besiktas has provided very poor game where it needed to win.
Besiktas continues showing an ineffective eprformance at the Conference League as it got its chances to get to the play-off round into difficulty as it lost to Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt with 3:1 scoreline with finding a goal as own goal on last minute.
It was known for Beisktas is being through very difficult period both domestically and also in Conference League which without doubt did put players into negative pressure and had its negative impact into motivation and confidence of the side but in same time it was expected for team would provide some reaction at the game where for both sides were needed to win if it wanted to get out from group. However, Besiktas did provide very ineffective game without getting control of the game at any moment of the game and hence did look very passive as Bodo/Glimt has provided much more stronger and effective performance as Besiktas players did look very passive and has only get one chance more or less where ball did go into post and afterwards Necip Uysal. What is important to note is that Besiktas didnt have bad night but this has been matter of whole season.
As been noted earlier, both sides did come out to the game which it needed to win if it wanted to get out from group stage but it needs to be stated that Bodo/Glimt has been sided which was aware of this and hence did get crucial 3 points.
Besiktas continues to be having difficult period and with such form it did come out to the game as underdogs and sadly for them it has performed in such manner and it needs some urgent changes for upcoming games.
Fenerbahce continues its winning run with beating this time Ludogorets.
Fenerbahce continues its impressive winning run during this season as this time it has beaten Bulgarian side Ludogorets at home ground with 3:1 scoreline but it needs to be stated that it did struggle a bit as Ludogorets has been expected to provide some issues to the team.
Stating it could be noted that despite of first 10 minutes of the games and also last 10 minutes of the game, Fenerbahce has been side which did control game and even through its tempo wasnt as high as was on previous weeks, it still has provided a confident performance and has control pace of the game which is without important point as it did play not with ideal 11 players and in fact players like Michy Batshuayi and Miha Zajc who didnt recieve lots of playing minutes in recent weeks did show confident and attacking game on the field which did let them to find goals. Therefore, even if its not providing dominant game as it did in recent weeks at the league, it has stayed fully focussed for game and hence did get a win which has more or less secure them play-off and team would now be able to focus more into into getting 100% at this group stage and focus into carrying on its winning run in general.
There were expectations for Ludogorets to show some reaction on the field following unwanted results their getting at Conference League and domestically with new head coach and it did achieve as it did provide good organised game against Fenerbahce but quality factor did play its role.
Fenerbahce continues its top level conference in all competitions with getting 18 wins back-to-back as it got crucial winagainst Ludogorets for top spot in the group stage.
Dirk Kuyt is being one of the candidates for Konyaspor head coach role.
One of the most interesting rumours which has been discussed at Turkish sports media has been talks that Konyaspor has made principal deal with Dirk Kuyt for head coach position even through team CEO Fatih Ozgokcen has declined those rumours.
Fatih Ozkogcen has stated that team did have some talks with Dirk Kuyt and is still being one of candidates but there are some areas which team administration are being unsure and are having some negotiations with some other candidates. Staying with Dirk Kuyt, one of the advantages is that he been one of the leading players at Fenerbahce during his stay and hence is familiar with league but he is being pretty inexperienced and didnt yet get successful results even through he does have some experience. Ozkogcen meanwhile states that he is continuing to be having negotiations with other names which he decide not to name.
Our blog as always would keep on track with Konyaspor talks with Kuyt and other names and would provide announcement when new coach would be announced at our accounts.
