In the closing match of the second week , Besiktas won in away match and stayed perfect after two weeks and moved on top of the Turkish Super League with six points..
They did it after coming behind and beating Kayseri Erciyes 2-4...
This was "most goal scored" match in the second week .....
Besiktas captured the first place after 144 weeks in the Turkish Super league!
Looking at the second week.....
While Fenerbahce, Besiktas,Trabzon won their matches ,Galatasaray stopped by Bursaspor !
The new "wonder kid" of Turkish football , Enes Unal become the youngest goal scorer in the Turkish Super League scoring goal for Bursaspor .
Enes Unal who is 16 years old , broke Batuhan Karadeniz's record....
Roberto Carlos's Sivasspor won in the second week and earn their first three points ..
His team will face his former team Fenerbahce this coming Saturday who is playing against Arsenal on Tuesday >>
That should be good match up...
In Trabzon on Monday night Trabzonspor won their match against Rizespor but Trabzon player Volkan Sen walked of the field crying after a verbal "absurd" abuse by few Trabzonspor fans !
While Trabzonspor coach Mustafa Akcay backed Volkan Sen , Trabzonspor chairman Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu criticize Volkan Sen not being professional !
" I condone the fans swearing and using absurd slurs to Volkan but I can not accept Volkan Sen leaving
the pitch as professional player "
This has been the talk around"water-cooler" in Turkey!
Maluoda, came in for Volkan Sen and scored the winning goal for Trabzonspor !
Another notable mention in the second week , Drogba's gestures as he was sub out during the Bursa vs Galatasaray match !
Besiktas after two weeks is on top of the league with six points but this is long marathon ...
There are thirty two more weeks ....
That's is why a lot of things could change...
But, Besiktas started the Super League in better place, Karabuk and Galatasaray are in top three with no loss with four points !
Besiktas, Karabuk and Galatasaray are the only teams who has not loss after two weeks...
Best Keeper.....
Mert Gunok of Fenerbahce .....
Lucky Keeper of the week....
Milan Borjan of Sivasspor ....
Best goal of the week.....
Maluoda (Trabzonspor) or Babel(Kasimpasa) .....
Best player of the week......
Gokhan Tore (Besiktas ) and Dirk Kuyt of Fenerbahce ......
Best Team.....
Besiktas
++++++++++++++++++++++++
WEEK 2, RESULTS.....

Now, they have to finish the job in Istanbul next week...
On the other hand , Trabzonspor beat Albanian's Kukes FC team in Albania ...
Trabzonspor pretty much , has one foot at the Europa League group stages!
******
Well, now most talked issue in the Turkish football !
Fatih Terim will be the new coach for Turkish National team..
This is third spell for Terim just like it was third spell for him at Galatasaray !
After, Abdullah Avci decided to quit,
(TFF) Turkish Football Federation ,asked for permeation from Galatasaray to talk to their coach !
So they did, in a couple days after talking, TFF signed a contract with Fatih Terim for one year, for a 4 national match!
This will be his third time coaching Turkish National team!
This time he is taking a team in bad position and also there is a 4 must win matches !
That would not even guarantee Turkey to go to World Cup 2014 in Brazil..
They need a big miracle !
So, between Galatasaray Turkish Super league matches , Champion League matches , Terim will coach Turkish National team's reaming four matches...
Terim's hands are full !
Why?
Turkish National team has seven points in six matches!

A lot of people are asking," is this contract for only four matches or four years!"

Fenerbahce crushed at home by Arsenal 0-3 !
Let's face it, sometimes what you wish or hope for does not happen on the pitch!
Before the match ,at the press conference on Tuesday,
Fenerbahce coach Ersun Yanal said, he was very hopeful about beating Arsenal !
Well, not only his wishes did not happen, his team played very poorly....
He was the engineer for that poor show on the pitch at Kadikoy!
Ersun Yanal made some big mistake just like when he made mistakes in Konya ...
Bringing Gokhan Gonul in to the match in the second half.....
Starting, Webo while many people were waiting Emenike to start ......
Against Arsenal, Fenerbahce's midfield did not play well at all .....
And , not building attacks from wings, gave the momentum to Arsenal in the second half of the match.
Arsenal with second half goals from Gibbs, Ramsey and Penalty kick goal by Giroud pretty much ended Fenerbahce's hope for second leg match in London!
Fenerbahce will need miracles to beat Arsenal and advance to the Champions League ...
Before the second leg match, Ersun Yanal's Fenerbahce will face,Yanal's former team Eskisehirspor
in the Turkish Super league match.....
Next ten days, could be very stressful for Ersun Yanal and Fenerbahce!

Fenerbahce coach Ersun Yanal hopelfull
Fenerbahce coach Ersun Yanal believes his side will win in Istanbul against Arsenal and go to London with comfortable score ...
“Arsenal are a high power team, so we will want to go there with an advantage,” Yanal said at a press conference.
“As a team we are strong enough to finish the challenge which is in front of us.
“We are competing to be in the first lane "
Fenerbahce , like Arsenal ,had a very bad start in the Turksih Super League.....
They have lost to newcomers of the league Konyaspor after going ahead 2-0 and losing at the end 3-2 !
Players like, Emenike ,Sow and Kuyt should be Fenerbahce's guns against Arsenal.....
The new transfer Bruno Alves is huge help on defense for Fenerbahce...
Only thing about him is, he is very aggressive and he is card prone player!
Fenerbahce and Yanal has to watch that....
Last time Arsenal visited Fenerbahce back in 2008-2009 and beat Fenerbahce 5-2 !
This is a second match for Ersun Yanal with Fenerbahce in the Champions League playoff ...
If Fenerbahce wants to win this match they have to play with match disipline....
They can't do like what they did in Konya on Saturday!
With 12th man in the stands at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium , Fenerbahce has to have flawless match!
Fenerbahce vs Arsenal match will be broadcast by FOX Sport 1 TV live on the cable in the United States
The match will start at 2:00 PM,ET
Turkey's coach Avci resigned !
Turkish National team coach Abdullah Avci said, he is leaving his duties at Turkish National team .
@turkishsoccer
Avci was under a lot of pressure by Turkish media and football fans ....
Avci hired back in November of 2011 ...
During the two years, Abdullah Avci won 6 draw 4 and lost 8 matches in 18 matches !
Most likely Turkey would not make the 2014 World Cup Tournament in Brazil..
He came in to the job with big promises but could not deliver it!
His lack of experience with dealing with big name player and putting trust on German born young German Turk's was big factor!
In 18 matches Avci's Turkish National team scored 24 goals and allowed 24 goals..

Turkish Super League Review: Week 1
Spor Toto Turkish Super League has started....
Matches went on from last Friday to Monday night in Turkey...
After starting with a boring and goalless match on Friday in Antalya between Antalya and Kayseri Erciyes , on Saturday, Sunday and Monday fans saw some good actions in the Turkish Super League!
While big guns like Fenerbahce and Trabzon losing , last year's champions Galatasaray and third place finisher Besiktas won their opening matches.....
Fenerbahce going up 2-0 in the early minutes in Konya then losing 3-2 was big and shocking news!
Fenerbahce was missing a lot of their starters because of injuries and suspensions...
Fenerbahce will face Arsenal on Wednesday in Istanbul.....
In the first week, there were eight winners .....
Gazinatepspor's Muhammet Demir's goal against Galatasaray was the goal of the week in my opinion.
Overall, the big guns who loss this week, Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor has new coaches...
Ersun Yanal and Mustafa Akcay....
Both made some huge mistakes but that is not the end of the world!
It is only week one, fans should give them them time to click ...
Besiktas coach, Bilic, has brought game discipline ...
That was huge problem with Besiktas last season!
Atiba Hutchinson is big transfer for Besiktas on defense...
With Tolga in goal for Besiktas defense look good for Besiktas, all they need is a good striker!
As far as Galatasaray.......
They are same as last season and better.....
Better Sneijder , and well fit Drogba ,Muslera and Selcuk Inan will be their biggest leaders this season.
Elswere , Eskisehir beat Bursa, Rizespor defeated Genclerbirligi , Karabuk won against Kasimpasa, Kayseri beat Sivas and Akhisar defeated Elazig !
With 3-1 win, Akhisar finished the first week on top of the Turkish Super Lig !
In week one, Karabuk's Lualua goal and Gazinatep's Muammet Demir's goal was something to see ..
Fenerbahce's Emenike missing goal was the biggest disappointment moment of the week 1 !
