Solskjaer causes a stir in Türkiye

Solskjaer brings a breath of fresh air to Beşiktaş.

The Super Lig derby between Beşiktaş and Galatasaray on the morning of March 30 was not just a victory, but also a testament to Solskjaer's new style of play - proactive play, reasonable tactics and constant creativity. Beşiktaş deservedly won 2-1, despite not having the service of main striker Ciro Immobile, who scored 15 goals in the 2024/25 season.

Solskjaer's changes

Since taking over Beşiktaş, Solskjaer has brought a breath of fresh air, completely changing the face of the team. In contrast to the conservative and overly defensive style of play applied by his predecessor Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Solskjaer has helped Beşiktaş play more proactively, not only waiting for the opponent to make mistakes but also creating attacking opportunities themselves.

One of the biggest differences in Solskjaer’s tactics is that he requires his players to press hard as soon as they lose possession, and quickly transition from defense to attack. With this tactic, Beşiktaş not only maintains solidity in defense but also makes the most of counter-attacking opportunities.

Solskjaer understands the strength of his team and encourages his players to use their individual abilities to create breakthroughs, especially when opponents cannot reorganize their defense after each loss of possession. This helps Beşiktaş "transform" spectacularly.

A surprising decision in the match against Galatasaray was Solskjaer not to use star striker Immobile, who scored 15 goals in the 2024/25 season and is Beşiktaş's main striker. However, the absence of the former Lazio star did not diminish the team's attacking prowess.

Beşiktaş just won against Galatasaray.

Solskjaer has made reasonable adjustments and created opportunities for other players to express themselves. In particular, Rafa Silva's goal is a clear demonstration of the change in the team's playing style under Solskjaer's leadership.

The goal was not only the result of a great shot but also a great combination of positions on the pitch. The initiative and flexibility in attack helped Beşiktaş show its strength even without an excellent striker like Immobile. This is the mark of Solskjaer's tactics - a strategy that is based on the collective, not on any individual.

Difference between two clubs

While Beşiktaş play with clear tactics, initiative and good coordination, Galatasaray lacks organization in their play. Under Okan Buruk, Galatasaray lacks tactical rigor and depth. Despite having talented players like Victor Osimhen and Dries Mertens, the team lacks connection between areas of the pitch, making it difficult for them to create coherent attacking opportunities.

Even when Galatasaray were down a man after Przemysław Frankowski's red card, their weaknesses in both defense and attack were even more apparent. All three lines of Galatasaray lacked cohesion and coordination, allowing Beşiktaş to easily control the game and take advantage of their opportunities.

Despite the absence of Immobile, Beşiktaş still showed superiority in their play. Rafa Silva's goal was a perfect example of the style of play Solskjaer has built. Silva not only scored with a great shot, but also demonstrated a reasonable strategy, with the players supporting and coordinating well in each situation. This is the big difference between Beşiktaş and Galatasaray.

Beşiktaş has new features in the way of playing.

With a 2-1 win over Galatasaray, Beşiktaş proved that they are not only loyal to the basic football values ​​but also know how to change to suit modern football. Solskjaer brought an active, counter-attacking and creative style of play, helping Beşiktaş continue to rise strongly in the Super Lig.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray still have a lot of work to do if they want to compete with Beşiktaş and other teams this season. Okan Buruk needs to build a clearer strategy and improve the connection between the lines of the team. Without a change in tactics, Galatasaray will have a hard time maintaining their position in Turkish football.

With a convincing win over Galatasaray, Beşiktaş proved that even without star striker Ciro Immobile, they can still thrive thanks to a comprehensive strategy and team unity. The change that Solskjaer brought was not only about the style of play but also a turning point in the development of Beşiktaş, opening up a promising future for this team.
