Advantage from 1st leg has provided calmness to Fenerbahce on this 2nd leg.
Fenerbahce has qualified to Conference League quarter-final despite of losing to Royale Union at home ground with 1:0 scoreline as it an average scoreline of 3:1 thanks to confident performance at 1st leg.
It needs to be mentioned that due of relaxation from 1st leg as it got confident scoreline and also with crucial Trabzonspor game coming up on this week at the league, Fenerbahce did provide slow tempo performance as it aimed more or less to keep it in low level and didnt create much chances with providing calm game. To some extend, with showing such calm game has been main reason why it did lose game as goal which did come from Rasmussen has been due of loss of concentration. In fact,it could be mentioned that due of outcome from 1st leg, Royale Union didnt provide too much threatening performance as it also looked like it was out of concentration especially in 1st half as it didnt manage to convert high chances. Still, it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce were focussed at defence and it didnt provide too much chances for opponent but didnt provide too much attacking game. Still, Fenerbahce with strong and organised game of 1st half did manage task on 1st half and hence this outcome could be seen understanable as it did achieve its task.
Royale Union following loss on 1st leg with 3:0 scoreline did try to play positive game but it was seen in players mood and tempo that it wasnt able to get much into game with lacking concentration on some of its attacks. Still, Royale Union did have good Conference League campaign but didnt show much resistance especially on 1st leg to Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce hence got into quarter-final of the Conference League as 1st leg has affected this game as it would be waiting for its opponent on 15th March at draw.
Sadattin Saran would run for Fenerbahce CEO.
Sadattin Saran who has been seen for long time as potential Fenerbahce CEO has announced that he would be resigning from Istanbul Chamber of Commerce to focus into Fenerbahce candidacy campaign.
As it could be seen, this has been an official announcement of Saran for his candidacy for this position as he could be seen for now only one candidate as Ali Koc did announce that he would not run for reelection even through there is talks that he might change his mind in future according how team ends this season. Saran did run in some of the elections and is being popular personality at the club so he could getting some support within club when elections would be taken place.
It would be seen unlucky that he would get much votes if Ali Koc would run at election but things could be changed if Koc would not announce his candidacy as he stated himself.
Lazio are interested to appoint Okan Buruk as club's head coach
It is being reported that Lazio are having interests with appointing Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk during summer transfer window due of his successful performance at Istanbul clubs.
With Lazio considering to end contract with Maurizio Sarri, it is reported that Okan Buruk has been among candidates at this position as player does have also some playing experience at Serie A and in fact is seen among as expected players, in addition he does know some Italian which would make him easy to adapt if move would happen. Stating that list of Lazio for head coach position is being long and it is hard to know if negotiations would even start between Buruk and club.
Still it needs to be mentioned that with impressive performance of Okan Buruk in Super League, Lazio might be showing some serious interests towards him in upcoming weeks.
