Fenerbahçe’s Championship Hopes Hang by a Thread After 0-0 Draw with Konyaspor

In the 35th week of Trendyol Super League FenerbahçeA 0-0 draw with Konyaspor, who were struggling to stay in the league, left their championship chances to the brink.

Fenerbahçe is the leader with this point loss GalatasarayHe was second with 90 points, 6 points behind.

Our writers Uğur Meleke and Fırat Aydınus evaluated the game in their columns. Here are those comments:

Uğur Meleke: The inevitable price of lack of vision

Many factors played a role in F.Bahçe’s fall from his league goal Among these factors, I would put the narrow vision of his president and coach at the top.

Omerovic’s Konyaspor was a tough and conservative team. 14 of the 18 matches in which the Bosnian coach played ended 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 or 2-0. It is clear that the management of Konyaspor was not happy with this conservative game, and they appointed sports director Ali Çamdalı instead. Perhaps because Fenerbahçe was his first opponent, Çamdalı took the field yesterday, making the tough team of his Bosnian counterpart even more difficult. Princes Omerovic Cicaldau and Prip stayed on the side. Konyaspor was even more stable on the green field yesterday with Ogulcan and Uğurcan.

WELCOME TO KONYASPOR 5-4-1

Konyaspor welcomed Fenerbahçe yesterday with 5-4-1 and a deep block of nine. Against such a deep block, Fenerbahçe passed the ball very slowly, especially in the first hour, and only tried to solve his opponent with crosses. He almost never used the center, and his long shooting weapon was not given much thought.

DZEKO GOT OPPORTUNITIES but…

Fenerbahçe, which came back a little after the changes made in the second half, started to collect plays in the first division of Konya. Maybe they still couldn’t attack from the middle, but with the Dzeko-Batsuayi duo at the far end, crosses and long balls gained a little more meaning in the second half. Dzeko in particular had clear chances with those side groups, but the Bosnian centre-forward was stuck with goalkeeper Slowik, who has been doing well since joining the Super League in January.

REFERRAL OF APPEAL TO THE WORK OF THE STAFF

Many factors played a role in Fenerbahçe falling away from its league target as it is today. Even for the Super Cup in Arabia, taking the U19 team on the plane, not going to the game in Urfa, and taking rest in the first leg of Olympiakos. It was disrespectful to the efforts of the footballers who reached these levels.

THE BIG TEAM DOESN’T LIFT THE CUP

Because the great team is playing to win all the prizes on both sides. He does not choose awards. However, the lack of vision was almost as great as the half-time transfer moves: I think sending Lincoln, who could be an alternative to Fred and Tadic, is not able to convince Umut Nayır, one of the best local center forwards in the league, and Serdar Dursun’s names are wrong decisions. I think that Fenerbahçe is paying the price for those decisions without vision.

Fırat Aydınus: Fenerbahçe’s championship hopes are now hanging by a thread

In the first half, there was a F.Bahçe team that had no plan and could not do different actions against a five-man defense. Although Konya seemed to have more desire and attention in the first 10 minutes, the game became stagnant after this minute. While we watched a stagnant, off-tempo, positionless game, the last 10 minutes of the first half seemed to be a bit more lively after the Ferdi-Ahmet Oğuz clash. Dusan Tadic had the only special shot for F.Bahçe in the first half, which went wide. Apart from this, two poor efforts by Edin Dzeko and Mert Hakan…

Yes, it may be normal to lack motivation and concentration while waiting for the opponent to lose points and in the game that started one day after the different victory, low mentality is also appropriate … no hope and no faith in the first half. The body language of most football players left this impression.

MERRO’S ALL

The second half begins Ismail Kartal In this type of game and score that was involved as usual, he made two changes by putting Mert Müldür on the field with Batshuayi. With the start of the second half, there was a desire to press on, at least to some extent, but ongoing injuries and forced changes could disrupt the plans to some extent. However, after the 60th minute, F.Bahçe started playing a game that was more important and looking for goals. In the 62nd and 63rd minutes, Dzeko and Slowik played one after the other. Especially in those minutes, Mert Müldür and Cengiz Ünder used the right wing effectively and Fenerbahçe took a position directly opposite the first half. Dzeko and Batshuayi’s headers ended with a goal. İsmail Kartal, who played his last trump card by bringing Serdar Dursun into the game, literally said ‘ya herro ye merro’.

THERE IS NO ONE SUMMARY

The yellow-dark blue team was either going to score or concede a goal. As a matter of fact, the fact that Fenerbahçe fans did not object to the goal that was clearly scored from the outside showed that they were accepted. After the goal was disallowed, Fenerbahce pressed for the goal in a shocking and senseless way in the extra time. Especially after Serdar Dursun entered the game, it was obvious that he would make openings at the back, and of course, Konyaspor took advantage of those empty spaces and created dangers.

KONYA GOT WHAT HE WANTED

Even in the extra time, Fenerbahçe’s pressure did not lead to a goal, so Konyaspor got at least the 1 point it wanted. Fenerbahçe could not cope with the psychological pressure of such a game and left 2 points on the field. With a difference of 6 points before the last 3 games of the season, Fenerbahçe’s hopes are beyond a miracle.

He could have given hemet oĞuz a red card, he chose yellow

This season, Bahattin Şimşek participated in high difficulty games and had successful competitions in terms of performance. They didn’t show bad management yesterday either, but as a team, they made throw-in, corner and goal mistakes that probably wouldn’t happen in any other game.

In the first half of the match, it was wrong that Oğulcan Konyaspor did not issue a yellow card in any of his positions first to Osayi-Samuel and then to İrfan Can Kahveci, who were both involved in tactical dirt.

The most important situation of the match was between Ahmet Oğuz and Ferdi. Here, while assessing Ahmet Oğuz’s intervention into Ferdi from behind; We have to look at where and where he did it, whether he was in danger of his health, whether there was cruelty and brutality. At the same time, this is a situation that VAR cannot interfere with and referee Bahattin Şimşek will evaluate. Şimşek exercised his option for a yellow card, but even if he gave a red card in this situation, it would be the referee’s decision and VAR could not prevent the additional red card on the yellow card.
