Football Season Guide

Since they will not compete in European Cups, Fenerbahce would be expected to spend a comfortable season, but it is not like that. No doubt that there will be a great pressure on Fenerbahce, becauselast season they offered a terrible performance and were hanging around the relegation zone most of the campaign. In order to redeem themselves, they have to be perfect this season. Have they done enough to that extent this summer? Yes and plenty… First of all, they wanted to improve their offensive stats as they scored less goals comparing to the previous seasons. Max Kruse and Vedat Muriqi were signed in along with teenager Allahyar. The Kosovan attacker offered a very good season in Caykur Rize last season and Kruse proved himself in the German Bundesliga. As offensive wingers, they brought Garry Rodrigues and Deniz Turuc in. The latter has already been the favourite of the summer transfer market. The Dutch man also knows the league well as a former Galatasaray winger. At this point, coach Ersun Yanal lacks a decent playmaker as there are only Zajc and Mehmet Ekici. In the front of the defence line, the coach is used to use two defensive players. He is very likely to put two among Ozan, Jailson and Tolgay there since Eljif Elmas was sold. In the defence line, they will kick off the new season with problems. Hasan Ali picked up an injury in a friendly fixture and will be out for a while. Besides him, Serdar Aziz is carrying an injury. These news made everybody understand that the backline are fragile against these kind of problems. For example, the coach had to use Jailson at center back against Bayern. On the net, Harun Tekin is likely to retain his starting place although promising keeper Altay was added from Ankaragucu. The coach’s 1st task should be to bring some defensive players. Then they will be a big candidate for the title, if they sign a creative midfielder.
