The Turkish Super Lig giants will open their Europa League campaign with quite a daunting squad as the likes of Dirk Kuyt, Moussa Sow and Mehmet Topal are all available
Last night, Fenerbahce coach, Aykut Kocaman came bearing good news for the club’s fans during a press conference. The former Turkish international informed reporters that Dutch international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 and Serbian international Milos Krasic, are in his plans
for the Europa League game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127.
Fenerbahce host Elie Baup’s side at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium tonight and it appears that the French league leaders will come up with a really strong side which will include an old foe from Ligue 1.
However, it is still not sure if the Turkish side’s coach’s statements are true or not as OM will know their opponent’s line-up just a few minutes before they take the field. Keeping in view his highly successful adaptation to his new club, Dirk Kuyt is
likely to start the game and will pose a lot of problems for Les Phoceens defenders.
However, one cannot be sure of Milos Krasic who has so far not made a big impact since arriving in Istanbul.
This summer, thanks to the rich investment, Fener have been able to assemble a much stronger squad than last season. Apart from the presence of Kuyt and Krasic, Sari Kanaryalar the arrival of Mehmet Topal from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786
has further boosted the team’s chances of making a strong start to the European campaign.
The workforce is indeed more robust than ever for a club that failed to secure a place in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League following a defeat at the hands of Spartak Moscow who drew 2-2 with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 the other night.
It is not easy to forget the disappointment of not qualifying for the UCL but Fener have made a good start to the league. After four rounds of the Super League, they are in fourth place in the standings and are yet to lose a game.
Furthermore, when they take on Marseille, Fenerbache can also rely on the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moussa-Sow-c26939, who played for Lille, has already hit the back of the net three times this season which
means that Marseille will cross paths with a familiar foe tonight.
