Galatasaray resumes European football with game against Sparta Prague.
Galatasaray are going to resume its European journey at the Europa League 2nd round game against Czech champions Sparta Prague at home ground at the game where it is seen as strong favourites but it shouldnt take their opponents too lightly.
It needs to be stated that timing of this game has been pretty good for Galatasaray as during recent games it did provide good and dominant game against its performance and with getting leadership at the league also being at good morale. Galatasaray also has been seen to be highly motivated at Champions League during this season and it is unlikely that it would be losing this confidence and motivation. Meanwhile, it needs to be mentioned that it should not take its opponent as it did have pretty have good season and did show to be dangerous side and also as been seen of the known European clubs, it could be seen as extra motivated in this season also.
Galatasaray will be favourite at the game as been mentioned but it cant afford to take this game too lightly as Sparta Prague could provide some issues during game.
Ankaragucu will end season at Eryaman Stadium.
TFF has made decision with Eryaman Stadium, which has been used both by Ankaragucu and 1st league side Genclerbirligi, that former club will complete its season of former club calling latter to look for different stadiums.
Even through this decision does show that condition of the field, which been questionable, is good enough to host games especially at Super League but it made clear that it wont be able to host game each week due of field condition. Our blog did state that only changing location of Galatasaray would be unfair for other clubs, but this doesnt take account that Ankaragucu which is responsible for field conditions at the stadium to take a look and keep it on good conditions. Ankaragucu meanwhile did assure that works has been done at field and it would be ready to host Galatasaray game.
It would become clear how much it is being on good condition on 17th February when game would be taking place.
Vincent Aboubakar has resumed training sessions.
Besiktas player Vincent Aboubakar has started training session after recovering from injury as Fernando Santos would get an opportunity to check player condition at naked eye for first time since joining side.
With Vincent Aboubakar been taken from squad in surprising manner, it did become clear at games which he did miss that he is being an important player as team didnt find goals and this good opportunity for him to prove himself to Santos and he is very likely to do so. Unless Aboubakar wont take this opportunity seriously or would have serious decline of performance, it would be expected for Santos to take him back to squad after he is being out of it.
Aboubakar at good form for sure would play crucial role at the team and hence it would be expected for him to return to team at short period of time.
