Football Season Guide

Once again, last season Basaksehir missed a great opportunity and let Galatasaray win the title. In particular, it was very surprising to see them taste only one victory in the last 7 fixtures. Following the departure of coach Abdullah Avci, the board appointed coach Okan Buruk. This time, they do not want to make any mistakes. In order to do that, they made some serious moves in the summer. After the experienced Emre left for Fenerbahce, they added young midfielder Azubuike which is a great decision for the future. Last season, they were the best performers of the league defensively. They lost Serdar Tasci, Kudrasyhov and Da Costa from the last season. The former Bursa man Aziz Behich and Miguel Vieira were added in order to replace them. Since they have Epureanu, Clichy and Caicara in the team, they are expected to repeat last season’s good defensive performance. The offence line has never been long. Besides Napoleoni, Robinho and Demba Ba, the board brought Gulbrandsen, Crivelli and Muhammet Demir in. Considering that they have creative players like Visca, Mossoro and Irfan Can, they are not expected to face any scoring problem this season. In general, the coach has everything to reach success. So he has to find the rhythm inside the team. This could put some pressure on him, but he needs to find a way to cope with it.
