Fenerbahçe Football A Team impressed with its performance in the Austrian camp, where it went for the second stage activities.
The yellow-dark blue team, which entered the season with a management change and appointed coach İsmail Kartal under the leadership of president Aziz Yıldırım, chose Topuk Plateau for the first stage of camp activities.
Fenerbahçe held its first stage camp activities here between 24 June and 2 July with a group of 30 people. The yellow-dark blue team, who went to the camp with new transfer Vedat Muric, where national players were not present, focused on physical load during the said period.
Fenerbahçe, which was shaken by Vedat Muric's injury in the first stage activity held at the Topuk Plateau camp, gained morale with the gradual addition of Milan Skriniar and Marco Asensio, who could not work with the team due to not being ready at the beginning of the camp. While Archie Brown was the name that attracted attention with his data during the said period, Ognjen Mimovic also attracted attention in the training matches.
On the other hand, president Aziz Yıldırım and most of the board members visited the team in Topuk Plateau.
Diego Carlos, whom Fenerbahçe loaned to Italy's Como team last season, did not attend the Topuk Plateau camp.
The experienced football player, who was invited to the camp by the yellow-dark blue team, did not join the team in Topuk Plateau, but was taken to the Austrian camp.
Fenerbahçe returned to Istanbul after the camp in Topuk Plateau and went to Austria for the second stage camp activity between 5-14 July.
Coach İsmail Kartal, who took 36 players, including national football players, to the camp in the Windischgarsten region, prepared his team with an intense activity period.
Fenerbahçe, which mostly trained in pairs, played 3 friendly matches in the camp in question.
The yellow-dark blue team beat Admira Wacker 5-0 in their first match here and also defeated Pogon Szczecin 4-0. Fenerbahçe managed to beat LASK 2-1 in its last match.
The yellow-dark blue team, which started the matches quickly in the preparation matches and scored the first goals early, also attracted attention with its desire to play in the front field.
Fenerbahçe managers did not leave the team alone in the Austrian camp.
Yellow-dark blue football director Oğuz Çetin, board member Cihan Kamer and Futbol AŞ manager Feridun Geçgel were with the team throughout the camp.
Additionally, Oğuz Çetin and Cihan Kamer left the camp twice and went to France and England for Mason Greenwood's transfer negotiations.
Fenerbahçe's experienced player Cengiz Ünder was among the prominent names in the Austrian camp.
The 29-year-old player, who started in the first 11 of the first 2 friendly matches played by the yellow-dark blue team, managed to score goals that brought his team the lead in these competitions.
Fenerbahçe's young player Ognjen Mimovic impressed with his performance in the friendly matches.
The 21-year-old player, who was given the chance to play in 3 friendly matches by coach İsmail Kartal, appeared ready for the season.

Fenerbahçe's new transfer Nathan Ake wore the yellow-dark blue jersey for the first time in the Austrian camp.
The experienced defender, who started working with the team after joining the camp, joined the game in the second half of the LASK match.
Vedat Muric, who was injured in the Topuk Plateau camp, could not attend the camp.

In the yellow-dark blue team, Milan Skriniar, Jayden Oosterwolde and Levent Mercan in the defense line and midfielders Bartuğ Elmaz, Matteo Guendouzi and Fred Rodrigues started all 3 matches in the first 11.
Fenerbahçe's national football player Oğuz Aydın played at right-back in the friendly matches.
While coach İsmail Kartal removed Mimovic and Mert Müldür from the game in the last 2 matches, he assigned Oğuz Aydın to this position.
Fenerbahçe showed an effective performance in both attack and defense in the preparation matches.
While the yellow-dark blue team scored 11 goals in 3 competitions, they conceded only 1 goal.
While Cengiz Ünder and Sidiki Cherif came forward with 2 goals each, Milan Skriniar, Fred Rodrigues, Rodrigo Becao, Anthony Musaba, İrfan Can Kahveci and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored one goal each. One goal was scored by an opponent player into his own goal.
