Last season, Konya recorded 17 draws in the league. Had they won two of them, they would have been competing in Europa League today. They offered the 3rd best defensive performance last campaign, but they should have scored more in order to reach their season goal. During the summer, the fans were expected to see some action in the transfer market, but they could just loan Riad Bajic in from Udinese. Besides that, they have seen the departures of Jahovic, Yatabare, Fofana and Traore. It is obvious that they are very short in the offence zone. The results of the friendly fixtures showed that they need to add two attackers and two offensive wingers at once, because they have failed to score any goals in those fixtures. On the other hand, they have managed to keep the whole backline along with the main keeper in the team, which is a big plus. Nejc Skubic, Ugur Demirok, Ali Turan, Ferhat Oztorun should be the coach’s favourite players in the defence. Besides them, Alper Uludag and Marin Anicic were signed in from Genclerbirligi and Astana respectively. The duo will give the coach great options in the long season. In the midfield, Jonsson, Jevtovic and Volkan will play for Konya again. Besides them, Hurtado and Milosevic decided to stay in the team, but they are not good enough to increase the team’s offensive efficiency. That is why they may have to struggle to create enough goal chances this season. Once again, Konya should be able to record lots of draws this season unless they bring some offensive minded players. If they do, they might finish in a higher place.

Target

The coach is hopeful to get a ticket to Europe, but anywhere in the top 8 should be welcomed. A good cup run would be ideal.

Season Review

2018/2019

№8: Konyaspor

Konya should have absolutely finished the season in higher place as they have been in European Cups zone till 2019’s early weeks, but a run of only one victory in the last 15 fixtures made them remain out of the top five. Coach Riza Calimbay was in charge till November. He was weirdly fired after the team defeated Ankaragucu. According to some rumours, his successor Aykut Kocaman was very familiar with the city and the team. So he has done very well till January and Konya reached the 4th place. However, things started getting worse. Injuries of some important players including Ferhat Oztorun, Ugur Demirok and Jens Jonsson made them lose their defensive strength. Until they tasted their last victory of the season against Alanya, they failed to score in 6 out of 11 previous fixtures. In fact, all their offensive responsbility were on the shoulders of a few players including Jahovic, Fofana, Yatabare and Omer Ali Sahiner. So they really struggled to produce anything when any of them was unable to feature because of any reasons. At this point, Omer Ali was the best contributor with his 8-goal & 4-assist performance. For any team except the big four, the 8th place should be welcomed well, but it is not considered as a success for coach Aykut Kocaman, because the season’s 2nd part was a huge disappointment. If the board continue to keep on working with him, they will want to see a much better performance from this one. In order to that, the coach will have to bring more quality in the summer transfer market.
