Fenerbahce have managed to win the Turkish super cup for the 7th time. The 2-1 win Over bestikas provided new manager Aaron Clark instant sucess at the club. Clark said after the game. ' I can not take the credit for this cup as the previous manager done all the work, I simply gave them a hand over the finishing line.' Guiza 73rd minute strike gave the Fenerbahce camp 20 minutes to defend. Despite huge amounts of pressure from Bestikas Fenerbahce were able to counter and Guiza second goal of the match on 83 minutes had surely secured the cup for Fenerbahce. But when Nobre pulled one back in the 87 minutes , Fenerbahce had a defence struggle for the last 5 minutes of the game. Fenerbahce holded out to put two hands firmly on the cup.
A fixture my team was always expected to win. Controlled from the beggining with large amounts of possesion in their half. The deadlock was broken when Bilica managed to get his head on an inswinging corner from Deivid. After the first goal there was going to be no way back for Omonoia as we continued to apply pressure and was rewarded with 3 more goals in the first half. Although Omonoia managed to pull one back before half time, we went into half time with a convincing 4-1 lead. The second half was much of the same but after making some half time subs to rest key players, We managed to score only one more goal in the second half. The game finnally finishing 5-2 to me giving me a comfortable lead going into the second leg.
With a comfortable lead from the first leg I was able to go into this match with a defensive approach and try to avoid injurys. Omonoia never really go into the game and to early goals crushed any chances of a miraculous comeback, Kazim added a late goal to seel the victory and lead Fenerbahce I tie in the next round against Mogren a team from Montenegro.
With the hope of gaining a good start in the league my players didn't dissapoint, With Kazim clean through on goal the Diyarbakirspor defender had no choice but to bring him down. Emre stepped up and converted the penalty. My team went on to have a good spell of pressure beign rewarded with a goal just before half time. Kazim with a powerful shot from the edge of the area. There was only one way this match was going to finish and as Fenerbahce stepped of the gas abit Diyarbakirspor were able to put a bit of pressure on the Fenerbahce defence , as they commited men forward Fenerbahce were able to hit them on the break and Santos secured my first points with the club.
With Fenerbahce being dubbed huge favourites for this game it wasnt the start they was hoping for when Isler gave Kasimpasa the lead on 11 minutes. Fenerbahce reacted well and put on huge pressure for the next twenty minutes hitting the post and bar and forcing numerous saves from the Kasimpasa Keeper. We finnaly got the equaliser When a goal mouth scramble was finnaly put in by Guiza on 33rd minute. One point was not going to be enough to please the fans so We pushed on in the second half and looked for the winner. Baroni provided the goal to put Fenerbahce ahed with a amazing 35 yard strike. The game seemed one sided from then on with Fenerbahce managing to score again in the 76th minute, Guizas second strike. 6 points out of 6 for Fenerbahce so far.
What some would call an 'easy win' for Fenerbahce. The game got off to a flying start with early goals from Santos and Kazim. From then on I was expecting a few more goals to give me the oppurtunity to rest players in the return leg. This was not the case as much of the game got bogged down in midfield and Mogren produced good defending in numbers. There should have been a third goal when We was awarded a penalty 12 minutes before the end. Alex stepped up and scuffed wide to leave me with no choice but to play my first team in the home Leg. ( At least for the first half depending on how it pans out.)
League:
Fenerbahce 0-3 Galatasaray
With my first challenging fixture, my players failed to step up to the plate. With two early goals from Cetin and Baros my team failed to find their feet in this match. Although good spells of pressure from Fenerbahce we could not penertrate the Galatasaray goalie who had a splendid game. The game was all but over when Topal added a 3rd in the 38 th minute, my team needing a miracle to gain something from this match. The second half showed alot of play in the midfield and very little chances created by either side. My first points dropped and first loss as Manager.
A solid win as expected from Fenerbahce. With the first real chance of the game Defender Lugano was able to head home a corner. My team continued to apply pressure on Mogrens back four and manaed to score 3 goals in the space of 10 minutes including two strikes from Kazim. With the result in the bag I was able to rest key players but decided to keep Kazim on to let him get his Hat trick. He had his best chance when we was rewarded a penalty in the 82nd minute he lost his nerve and scuffed down the middle. Although the hat trick now seemed unlikely he managed to grab it in the 85 minute with a powerful effort from 20 yards. A easy win which guranteed my place in the Euro Cup Group stages.
League:
Manisaspor 0-0 Fenerbahce
Perhaps one of the harder fixtures as high flying Manisaspor found them selves in 3rd place and unbeaten. Never the less a fixture my team is expected to win. The game was a tale of ' its not your day' as my team smashed the post on numerous occasions and had a goal dissalowed in the 75th minute for a Offside which seemed to be on the replay onside. My form in the league was going to need to improve if I was to mount a serious title challenge this year!
Fenerbahce 1-0 Eskisehirspor (Topuz Pen 90 +2)
With my form in the league taking a small dip it was vital I gain a win at home to a struggling Eskisehirspor. Many chances were created but it was a case of not being abel to finish simple one on ones or free headers. The game looked like it was going to finish all square as we approached the full time whistle. In the 91 st minute Roberto Carlos was brang down on the half way line perhaps a last hope of a long ball into the box. He provided a good ball which lead to Topuz being brought down resulting in A penalty. Topuz stepped up and cooly slotted the penalty home to give Fenerbahce a much needed win.
With this being my first game in the Group stages I wanted to get some early points on the board. My players didn't dissapoint and got off to a flyer when Guiza finished just 3 minutes in. He added another on the half hour mark before Emre made it 3 5 minutes later. With a comfortable lead we could sit back in the second half and defend our lead. 3 points to start the group stages, just as I'd wanted.
League
(Topuz 80)
With all other title contenders being handed easy fixtures this week, this was a must win game to keep me up there. With both defences playing well it didnt look as though anyone would be able to score. Until Topuz scored a beautiful freekick from the Edge of the D to secure me the points.
(song 28)
A tough fixture against high flying Trabzonspor who found themselves top of the table at this point. Despite this my team was big favourites coming into this game and so we should have been. A terrible performance by my attackers who were unable to convert many chanes handed to them on a plate. Fair play to the Trabzonspor goalie though who made an array of brilliant saves. A real dent in my title challenge as other teams moved further ahead.
Euro Cup Group G
A boring game from the start. With most of the play in the middle of the park very little chances were created by either side. No bookings, No sending offs, No penaltys. This is what you call a bore draw!
League
(Hurmaci 34)
An away game to this years 'dark horses' Sivasspor who found themselves in 4th positon after the first bunch of games. With my form taking a turn for the worst a win was vital. When Hurmaci opened the scoring for me on the 34 th minutes , I made a brave decision to sit back and defend my lead. This was working perfectly until A long range effort was was parried by Volkan to lead to an easy tap in for Sahin with 84 minutes gone. 6 minutes away from victory, that one hurt!
As two of the best teams in the Turkish league cam together for an early season match, late teackles and crowd trouble was to be expected. This is exaclty what happened but on an extreme level! In the 34th minutes Micheal Fink was brought down by a very late challenge made by Emre. Micheal Fink didn't like this and regained his feet and was seen to have punched Emre. This caused a huge come together of all the players on the pitch including the goalkeepers! As stewards and police struggle to hold back angry fans, the ref sent off Fink immediatley! Emre was also cautioned. Fink is now facing a lenghty ban and a big fine. The game itself went on to finish goal less with neither side able to hit the back of the net!
Possibly the hardest game in the group. Lazio away. My team got off to a flying start as A corner was whiiped in it got cleared but only to Baroni who was able to smash in one of his trademark 30 yarders. One goal was not going to be enough as i knew Lazio had goals in them, But somehow Volkan played the best ive ever seen any goal play and managed to pull of a one nil win. 3 more points, secruing my place at ther top of group G , for now!
League
With my form dipping in the league a win was vital, somehow i didn't manage to score out of my TWENTY FOUR shots! :'(15 on target so yes you guessed it there keeper played amazingly, managing to win his team a point!!
(Guiza 32)
A game against a struggling side who found themselves in last position, surely an easy win, it looked that way when Guiza opened the scoring on the half hour mark, but it came down to my players not being able to finish again as we only just scraped the win against a team I should be hammering:O
Euro Cup Group G
(Bilica 7, Guiza 33, Carlos 42)
A game if which I won would surely secure my place in the knockout rounds. A great first half managing to bag 3 goals including a beautful 40 yard freekick from Roberto Carlos, Despite the three goals i spent most of the half defending, this carried on to the sceond half and Lazio managed to oull 2 back but I was able to finish strong and bag the 3 points.
League
(topuz 9, Lugano 27)
A must win game if i was to keep up with the leaders, i know i say that alot but seriously ! Topuz opened the scoring on just 9 minutesand i dominated through managin to add one more goal which a header from Lugano on the 29 minutes mark. three points, get in!
