Beşiktaş turned a six-goal victory over Çorum FK into a statement before its Istanbul derby with Fenerbahçe, according to Turkish sports writers.
Beşiktaş is very different this season.
Dusan Vlahovic scored three times in the 6-2 win, earning particular praise for his positioning, instinct and finishing. Hilmi Türkay wrote that the striker showed why Beşiktaş signed him and looked like the forward the club’s supporters had been waiting for.
The praise extended beyond Vlahovic. Güntekin Onay highlighted Murillo’s attacking contribution, Agbadou’s assist, Cerny’s work until he tired and Olaitan’s forward passing, dribbling and chance creation. Salih Özcan also drew approval for the energy he brought to the match, while substitute İlhan made an impact with one goal and one assist.
It will not be easy for opponents to keep up with this speed of play and tempo.
Onay said Beşiktaş played with such an appetite for goals that its attacking desire sometimes became anxiety, but argued that opponents would struggle to match the team’s speed and tempo. Türkay, meanwhile, questioned the standard of refereeing and said video assistant referee intervention had corrected a penalty decision.
Beşiktaş sent Fenerbahçe a warning.
Attila Gökçe gave the result an explicitly derby-focused reading. He said Beşiktaş’s fast and enthusiastic second-half goals sent Fenerbahçe a warning ahead of their meeting at Kadıköy, adding that the display went beyond a warning and became a threat. Fatih Doğan also described Vlahovic’s performance as a concise explanation of the transfer and said Beşiktaş had gained psychological superiority before the derby.
The warning went beyond a warning and became a threat.
