Belözoğlu's Fenerbahçe Plan: Fast and Direct Play

At Fenerbahçe, head coach Emre Belözoğlu started his job with a 5-0 win over Çorum FK in his first match. The experienced coach sees the international break as an opportunity to instill his style of play in the players. Belözoğlu plans to run double training sessions in Samandıra and wants the squad to go through an intensive period of physical and tactical work.

Belözoğlu's first goal is to raise the team's tempo. It is reported that he wants a Fenerbahçe side that defends more compactly, moves forward as a unit and presses aggressively. The coach, who wants a team that plays fast and direct, aims to distribute roles according to each player's qualities. In the new plan, it was reported that Mason Greenwood's role in attack will be increased while he spends less energy defending.

Seeing shortcomings in central midfield and at right back, Belözoğlu is considering a rotation plan between the Kante-Guendouzi pairing and Semedo-Mert Müldür. It was stated that İrfan Can Kahveci will remain a key player in the team's attacking build-up. The aim is for Oğuz Aydın to regain his former form on the left wing. Dorgeles Nene is also becoming a serious candidate for that area, and a fierce competition for the shirt is expected between Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Oğuz Aydın.

It was written that İrfan Can Kahveci, Mert Müldür and Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who will not be joining their national teams, will give the young coach an important advantage. It was also noted that Ake, who is not in the Netherlands national team squad due to an injury, will continue his work in Samandıra if he recovers.
