In the final section of our pre-match analysis, we touched upon two main points: Firstly, no one should judge a team coached by Besnik Hasi solely by their daily form.

I mentioned that we would be playing against a team coached by someone with a strong tactical intelligence who tries every possible variation to translate that intelligence onto the pitch. I hadn't mentioned our team at all, because after what happened recently, I was very curious about them. And as I predicted, Besnik Hasi truly lived the game, perfectly executing their strategy and securing three points.

In the first half, although we didn't play exceptionally well until the goal, we found the net early thanks to our experienced and skilled players and strong positional awareness. However, I still can't understand why we couldn't control the game in midfield after the goal. I don't want to use the fact that Melih and Fabinho were playing together for the first time as an excuse; after all, shouldn't players at this level have the same understanding of the game?

We've mentioned the length of the game in every article we've written. It's impossible to understand why we play on such a large area.

With players like Salah, Savic, Fabinho, Muçi, and Aral in your squad, if you can't build your playing system around their style, you can't expect any results or efficiency. You can't, and you won't.

No offense, but Fatih Terim's demeanor on the sidelines doesn't create a positive image in terms of building synergy with the players on the field.

I also find it difficult to understand what Muçi was waiting for to respond to Salah's fast and agile play. I have no justification for losing our rhythm and tempo after scoring an early goal and surrendering the game to the opponent; it's Fatih Terim's responsibility to explain this. Who knows better than him?

"We said, 'A little patience, we'll find what we're looking for in the second 45 minutes,' but we were only deluding ourselves by selling ourselves false hopes. We thought the coaching staff must have seen what we saw; we thought they would understand that playing long balls to Onuachu wouldn't work."

Can a player at this level really not win a single aerial duel? If this plan isn't working, then you need to change the plans. And if changing the plans doesn't work either, then what needs to be changed is obvious.

The only thing that shouldn't have changed tonight was the Fabinho-Ozan substitution. This move completely disrupted the game's formation. It's a golden rule of football: the player coming on must perform better than the player going off. Why couldn't the mighty Trabzonspor team carry the ball forward? Why couldn't they keep possession in front of the opponent's penalty area?

When will we understand that 60% possession doesn't mean applying pressure? How can you be so unprepared and ineffective in both attack and defense while playing with 60% possession? Why couldn't we create positional plays that would increase Salah's effectiveness throughout the game?

Professor, I hope you have the answers to these questions. Otherwise, the situation will likely remain unchanged next week.
