Three horse-race for the title !

Last weekend (24th week ) ,  it was bad for Fenerbahce and Galatasaray while It was good weekend for Besiktas !

While Galatasaray draw with Basaksehir at home Fenerbahce went down in Ankara ,against Genclerbirligi.....

On the other hand Besiktas, beat Erciyes with  5-1 score in Ankara .....

Well, since then things are not going well for Besiktas and Besiktas coach Bilic !

First, on Thursday in front of their fans, after going ahead against Brugge team in the Europa Cup match, they choked  and  elimenated  from Europa Cup !

On Sunday, in the league match against Fenerbahce they went down in the very last minutes of injury time .....


Besiktas had many chances to score but they could not !


Fenerbahce forward Sow scored the only goal in the match.....



In the 19th minute,  Nigerian forward Emmanuel Emenike missed a one-on-one chance, failing to take advantage of a defensive mistake by Besiktas player Necip Uysal.


Emenike was heavily protested by Fenerbahce  fans after missing the chance. He wanted to be replaced but he stayed on the pitch until half time.

It was a scene that I never seen  before !


While Fenerbahce players Raul Meireles  and Dirk Kuy went out with injuries , Besiktas lost keeper Tolga Zengin and  Tolgay Arslan too .....

Besiktas's third string keeper Gunay Guvenc had to coming in to the match since second string keeper Cenk Gonen was hurt too ....

Besiktas while attacking in the very last minutes of injury time, caught with their pants down on the defense and Sow cashed in !

It has not been a good week for Besiktas , this week ......

Only thing left for Bilic and Besiktas is the STSL league title !

The last nine weeks won't be easy for Besiktas ....

They need to refresh as a team and start playing as a team.....

On the other hand, Fenerbahce with this win ,put them selfs on the title chase again !

But, there are a lot of issues with Fenerbahce team !

Issues with players like Emre ......

And coach Ismail Kartal .....

After what I saw in this match, I don't think, Ismail Kartal has any control over this team !

He lost his credibility  from sideline as a coach .....

On  Saturday, Galatasaray comeback from behind and beat Kasimpasa in their stadium.

Things, did not looked good at all for Galatasaray in the first half of the match ....

Kasimpasa closed theh first half with 2-0 score .....


However, in the second half, Galatasaray was diffrent team !

They score three unanswered goal and they won the match 3-2 .......

They were eather lucky or  Kasimpasa did not know how to protect the 2-0 score !


So, this weekends results were good to Galatasaray and Fenerbahce ...

It was not good for Besiktas !

With this loss, Besiktas coach has not win anyy derby match in Istanbul ....

That might be trouble for Bilic !

At the end of the 25th week in the Turkish Super League, Galatasaray on top with 55 , Besiktas on second with 54 and Fenerbahce on third place with 53 points.

This race is three horse race, once again !

Because of the National Team matches there won't be any matches this coming weekend in the league ..

Turkish National team will play very important match  against Holland on Saturday !


It is do or die match for Turkey and Fatih Terim's boys........

First Derby of the Season, Fenerbahce vs Besiktas






Perhaps, the match of the week, in the seventh week will take place in Sukru Saracoglu stadium , between Fenerbahce and Besiktas....

Fenerbahce coming out strong from their Europa match and wining big in Germany....


But, Alex De Souza and Aykut Kocaman saga hurt Fenerbahce  in the league.....


Alex De Souza is no longer with Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce terminated his contract in a ugly way.....


He should never left the team, the way he is leaving!


Alex De Souza, on Monday , will hold a press conference and will say good bye to Turkish fans and Fenerbahce fans....


8 years of hard work, dedication and courage and his gentleman style,will never be forgotten by Fenerbahce and Turkish Football fans...


As one who followed this saga and feud between Alex and Aykut Kocaman, last three years ,



I want to say this......


Aykut Kocaman, was thinking a team without Alex De Souza, when he took over from Daum!


But, he has tried that ever since that time ,but just could not do it......


In between, Aykut Kocaman gave his three resignation, because of Alex De Souza , but he end up making u -turn!


That was three times....


The recent one was after loss to Kasimpasa in the week sixth,,,,,,,'


What ever the case , Alex De Sousa will be loved by first, Fenerbahce fans and Turkish football fans...


He will be missed!


Now, about derby match....


Fenerbahce playing at home, but only in front of women and children fans.....


Because of suspension by TFF, male fans will not be allowed to watch this match!


Dick Kuyt ,Raul Meireles, could be the go to guys, for Fenerbahce against Besiktas.


On the other hand, Besiktas's  Fernandes could be  brain master for Besiktas if he play good on Sunday.


Both teams coaches are Turkish.....


Besiktas will be coached by their former player Samet Aybaba and Fenerbahce will be coached by their former player Aykut Kocaman...


Samet Aybaba is much older then Kocaman,,,, Aybaba is 57 years old.......


Aybaba, has never coached big Istanbul clubs until this season....


On the other hand, Kocaman got his first shut as coaching big club , three years ago after  sports directors job at Fenerbahce.


According to some  pundits in the Turkish media, He was the reason why German coach Daum lost his job......


Anyway, This first derby match in Turkey , this football season will be fun to watch....


At least , I hope so !


After Galatasaray losing points on Saturday aginst Eskisehir at the last minutes, bot of the teams would want to close the gap on top.........


Fenerbahce  with 9 and Besiktas with 8 points before this match....


A win for Fenerbahce will make them with 12 points and they will join four other teams who are with 12 points on top , just under the league's top team Galatasaray with 13 points....



If Besiktas wins, they will surpass Fenerbahce and move up with 11 points...


So,a draw will not benefit both of the teams.....


Both of the teams, will go for kill, I think!


This is why this match will be fun to watch....


That is why ,this match is "the match of the week " !


Former Besiktas defender Egemen Korkmaz will play for the first time against his former team and Ugur Boral former Fenerbahce defender will play against Fenerbahce, for the first time, too....



I could sure you, there will be chants for great Alex De Souza , in the stands ......
