Beşiktaş are gearing up for their opening UEFA Europa League fixture against French side Olympique Marseille. The Istanbul club resumed training following a two-day break, with the match scheduled for Thursday, September 17, at their home ground.

The Italian coach appears to be focusing on both the physical and tactical preparation of his squad ahead of the Marseille encounter.
The session began with warm-up runs for the players. This was followed by a possession drill involving a 5-against-2 format, designed to sharpen technique and physical conditioning. Such exercises are considered valuable for improving ball control and decision-making under pressure.
The players then took part in a small-sided match with two goals to increase match intensity. The session concluded with set-piece practice. The outcome of this first Europa League fixture could prove significant for Beşiktaş, both in terms of confidence and points accumulated throughout the season.
