Besiktas Begin Preparations for Crucial Midtjylland Europa League Return Leg

Beşiktaş have immediately commenced training ahead of their upcoming UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second-leg clash against Danish side FC Midtjylland.

Immediate Return to Work After First-Leg Advantage

Following a 1-0 victory in the home leg at Tüpraş Stadium, head coach Vincenzo Italiano called his team directly to the BJK Nevzat Demir Facilities without taking a rest day.

The 75-minute training session began with light warm-up exercises and conditioning routines before transitioning into a 5-v-2 possession drill. The workout concluded with a full-pitch tactical match designed to refine positional discipline ahead of the away fixture.

With a one-goal lead to protect, Italiano’s tactical focus centers on maintaining defensive structure while building tempo in transition.

  • Next Session: Training resumes on Sunday morning, July 26, with a closed-door session at 10:30 AM local time.

  • Second-Leg Date: The decisive return fixture will take place in Denmark on Thursday, July 30, where Beşiktaş aim to secure their place in the next round of European qualifying.
