Fenerbahçe Coach Ismail Kartal’s tough squad selection!
Fenerbahçe's head coach, Ismail Kartal, is anticipating a pleasant dilemma ahead of tomorrow's Fenerbahçe vs. Samsunspor match. It is expected that the experienced coach will deploy the midfield duo Krunic & Fred for the first time. The toughest decision to make will be regarding Michy Batshuayi, who scored 4 goals in the Adana match.
Even without any absences, Fenerbahçe already had a broad squad, with several players out of form. Despite this, the Yellow-Blues have added two significant stars to the team, Leonardo Bonucci and Rade Krunic. Additionally, players like Cengiz Ünder and Michy Batshuayi have improved their performances. Ismail Kartal now faces the sweet challenge of choosing the starting eleven from a pool of in-form and quality players.
Fans eagerly await
Fenerbahçe fans are especially eager to see the duo of Fred and Rade Krunic playing together. The anticipation, however, is not expected to last much longer. Ismail Kartal is likely to form the midfield with this duo in tomorrow’s Samsunspor match.
Livakovic is expected to be in goal, with a defensive quartet of Ferdi, Oosterwolde, Bonucci, and Mert Müldür. Tadic, Szymanski, and İrfan Can Kahveci will operate behind the striker. Kartal’s most challenging decision is in the striker position.
Everyone awaits their chance
Michy Batshuayi showcased his desire for the jersey by scoring four goals in the Adanaspor match. However, these goals may not be enough for the Belgian forward, as Ismail Kartal had benched him after a hat-trick against Kayserispor and Cengiz Ünder after scoring four times against Istanbulspor.
The experienced coach may once again opt not to part with Edin Dzeko. Besides these players, Mert Hakan Yandaş and Lincoln, who scored a goal each and provided an assist in the Adanaspor match, as well as Emre Mor with two assists, are also among the players eagerly awaiting their chance in the lineup.
