Fenerbahçe – Galatasaray derby
By: j | April 11th, 2009If the famed Fenerbahçe – Galatasaray derby didn’t need more incentive other that being one of the worlds most intense rivalries, both clubs are slugging it out for a spot in Europe. With seven matches remaining in Süper Lig campaign, Beşiktaş has a narrow lead over Sivasspor (see below) and with both sides not showing any signs of letting-up not only is the chance for a Champions League berth slipping away but with Trabzonspor level in points, a loss could cost a Europa League spot.
As expected Ali Sami Yen will be “not-so” welcoming for Luis Aragonés side. Fenerbahçe has been very tight-lipped of match preparations and avoiding all those silly little details of injuries and tactical considerations it has instead provided ever so-important recounts of cake and ice-cream at Robert Carlos thirty-fifth birthday, rousing speeches from former players and fun-loving photos from practice sessions. While this naturally will keep every Fenerbahçe fan on the edge of their seat, or at least those who long to talk about the new kit, a morsel of information of the actual club might be something a professional media relations department should considered in the future given their worldwide reputation.
Of what little information is available and I might stress it is the most meager of servings, Alex is possibly out for the affair.
