Istanbul Başakşehir’s three points yesterday really stood out, I have to say—it was the result of the squad’s experience bearing fruit. They shouldn’t be acting like a makeshift team just floating around; grinding it out against Perugia and bringing home the win should boost morale. In previous years, it was always those “almost” stories, but this time they handled things with a firm intervention.
But hey, don’t jump to calling them the “favorites” after just one week’s performance. Those who say it was easy because yesterday’s opponent wasn’t Trabzon have a point too. This team’s reality is that they can’t maintain consistency, but they need to start forming habits and staying a step ahead more often. I expect them to break into the top five and keep it going—let’s see if Idriz Omeri can sustain this pace.
Basakşehir’s performance yesterday was admittedly a bit lackluster, but securing the three points was truly heartening. Look, the wins in the first week aren’t just down to luck—it’s not that simple. For example, in the match against Sarıyer, their pressing and possession rate above 60% played a big part. But when it comes to the question of "are they favorites now?"—well, they’ve been title contenders every year, it’s just that this season they look more organized in both attack and defense. Take yesterday’s game, for instance: the build-up to Enes Ünal’s goal showed just how controlled the team kept possession in midfield. But the real question is—can this level of performance last all season? Because in past years, they’ve had periods where they faded halfway through.
