HÜRRİYET WRITERS EVALUATED THE DEBY
Hürriyet sports writers commented on the Fenerbahçe-Beşiktaş derby in their columns.
GÜNTEKİN ONAY: BEŞİKTAŞ WITH THE DIFFERENCE OF POWER AND PLAY
Fenerbahçe seriously made Beşiktaş believe that they would win the derby. There was a serious difference in physical strength between the two. Even though the yellow-dark blue team took the lead with a carrom goal from the throw-in, they could not convey even one minute to their fans that they would win the derby. If the match went 1-1 for a long time and the score remained at 2-1, Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Ederson had a big share in this. In addition, the final passes that Beşiktaş players could not make could not increase the difference in the big gaps they found.
F.BAHÇE FALLS IN THE SECOND HALF
Fenerbahçe is clearly falling out of the game in the second half of every match and this situation does not change despite player changes. Yesterday, the yellow-dark blue team was almost unable to move on in the second half. In addition, although Fenerbahçe has good players on paper, it does not have a squad structure that complements each other. The most active and surviving member of the team in the second half was 35-year-old Kante.
JUNIOR OLAiTAN MADE A DIFFERENCE
In the Beşiktaş midfield, Olaitan made a difference by winning the ball, running, dribbling and passing the ball behind the defense. In the goal scored by Vlahovic, it was Olaitan who brought the ball to Orkun behind the defense. Trossard was also effective every time he received the ball. Vlahovic, on the other hand, showed his ability to score goals in the derby, even though he struggled a lot with Skriniar. Beşiktaş was physically much superior to Fenerbahçe and we saw this clearly especially in the 2nd half. Black and whites were much superior in terms of game discipline, cooperation and collective harmony. The one with the best game power won the derby.
F.BAHÇE DO NOT COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER
Fenerbahçe, which suffered its second defeat in the first 4 weeks of the league, clearly lacks a fast player to run behind the defense. Vedat is heavy, Lukaku, who replaced him, is heavier. Also, İrfan Can is never ready and there is no need for 2 defensive players like Kante and Guendouzi, who do not score goals or provide assists. Fenerbahçe does not have a player other than Greenwood who threatens the opponent when he gets the ball. Despite taking the lead, losing the home derby in this way and being defeated by a football that could not challenge Beşiktaş made the fans even more sad.
UĞUR MELEKE: AS I WATCH SALİH-ORKUN, I GET ANGRY AT MONTELLA!
We watched the best 90 minutes of the season so far in Kadıköy. Two of the top three teams in the league in terms of form chart put up a fight worthy of their name; They showed impartial sports fans an enjoyable match. For football fans like me who are interested in the game, not the score, this is exciting: Beşiktaş, in particular, seems ready for the giant exams shortly before the European cup calendar.
Both teams showed their best performance of the season a week ago in front of Samsun and Çorum. However, it was obvious that the rival coaches had trained well for those matches and did not want to give the stars of the Samsun and Çorum matches another chance. Black and white did not recognize the gap similar to the Brown-Oğuz duo who turned the right side of Samsun into a highway. Especially Skriniar tried to break the connection between Orkun and Vlahovic, who showed off in double games in front of Çorum, by playing one-on-one with the Serbian centre-forward. That communication seemed to be interrupted for the first hour, but in the 73rd minute, he too was left helpless in a Salih-Olaitan-Orkun-Vlahovic connection. And the Serbian superstar opened his derby account with a very critical goal.
EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN IN THE FOREGOING
The main directors who determined the rhythm of the game in yesterday's derby were two great experiences, Trossard and Kante. Kante played like a clear number eight in the Fenerbahçe midfield; Especially in the first half, it played a leading role in the connection between the second and third regions. Trossard saved his best game in Beşiktaş for the derby and showed a great performance in Kadıköy. He made one assist, created two clear positions, and made four shooting passes that put his friends into positions.
Beşiktaş won the derby, and the stars of the match were Trossard, Olaitan and Rıdvan (even if they played for 45 minutes). However, as the Salih-Orkun-Olaitan middle trio dominates almost every consecutive match this season, I secretly get angry at Montella. How did we in America get zero points from the first two matches and say goodbye to the tournament? While Salih-Orkun took over the midfield in every match for Beşiktaş, how did we not benefit more from this duo together in the national team? It makes one sadden to think about our image in America.

MEHMET AYAN: APPLAUSE FOR ALL BEŞİKTAŞ!
What did Fenerbahçe do to turn the game around after 2-1?
The first half of the derby, which promised good football and even goals, was played within our expectations. Beşiktaş broke the home team's pressure at 15 minutes in the first 10 minutes and conceded a clumsy goal when they took control of the game. (The critical Ederson save in the 13th minute should not be missed) It was probably the type that Vincenzo Italiano would criticize the team with sharp sentences in the first video analysis... Moreover, the two opposing players in the goal were defenders.
THE SELFISHNESS OF GREENWOOD
The away team did not lose its concentration and maintained its superiority until Rıdvan's goal. While Greenwood's selfishness in two attacks cost Fenerbahçe at least one goal, Beşiktaş did not score any more goals. In general, what caught my attention in the first half was the desperation of the 4 center players on both teams in transition. Neither Kante-Guendouzi nor Salih-Orkun could resist their opponents' offensive transitions. The performances in the second half were a matter of curiosity after the 45th minute, which was far from the set, had plenty of transitions, was balanced in every sense, and was a pleasure to watch.
The winner was Beşiktaş midfield. When Trossard's experience was added to Olaitan's contribution, the game ended in the Fenerbahçe field for almost 35 minutes. Could İsmail coach have included his namesake in the game a little earlier? Since Kerem did not come to the midfield for any support in the number 10 position, the field was completely left to Beşiktaş. Aziz Yıldırım's new! If it wasn't for Ederson, we could have witnessed a historic defeat.
ZERO MADE, ZERO POINT
Beşiktaş's play not only brought the victory, but also showed everyone how valuable and inappropriate the praise given since the beginning of the season was. This victory is written to Önder Özen, he writes to the coach, the players, Serdal writes to the president... What I couldn't understand was this. After 2-1, what did F.Bahçe do in the 17 plus 7 minutes until the end of the match to turn the game around? If the answer is a big ZERO, the score is also ZERO.
