Inadequate.

By: Ozzy | Comments 4 Comments

Actually,I’m an optimistic person.Whatever you say,like optimism is stupidity or else,I’ve always had faith on our team’s title chances for this season.I have tried to avoid criticising based on the scores that team took,we lost against Fenerbahçe and I said,allright,it will be hard to compete with a team on its own field.We lost stupid points,I believed it will be okay,other teams will lose points too.

This time,again I will not criticise my team’s performance based on the score.

But this time,my words are not gentile.

Foggy.

By: Ozzy | Comments Add Comments

After the sad loss against Fenerbahçe SK in Kadıköy,there’s a silence in the club.The match was not exciting as the fans expected,we have failed to tear down the rock-solid defence of Fenerbahçe,and our opponents have evaluated the opporturnities well,and the loss became unavoidable.Fenerbahçe is one of the strongest teams in Turkcell Super Leauge,so it is not a big deal if you did not play terrible or conceaded over 3 goals.

But the main problem is different.Although the team is not in a bad form,the board under control of Demirören keeping their promising developement of their fussy management over the club.

Cover.

Because of the midterms I had in the past few weeks I wasn’t able to wrote for a while,I apologise for the irrelevant situation.Lets cover it up.

Last week,we beat Eskisehir spor 2-0 in Inönü,which was a critical victory as though our rivals Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray drew that week.Also,at Turkiye Fortis Kupası,we beat Trabzonspor 1-2 and threw them on fire.

Marcio Did.

By: Ozzy | Comments 2 Comments

2 simple goals and 5 pegged back.Nice score,nice football.After the first loss over Kayserispor last week,that wasn’t a bad one.Marcio fired the light and after Holosko-Delgado domination,we easily managed to overcome Kocaelispor.

A loss would be compelete fail.Thanks for Nobre and his determination for avoiding a stupid loss.

GoodGame.

By: Ozzy | Comments Add Comments

At evening schedule of Fortis Türkiye Kupası,our team has faced with determined but unlucky Antalyaspor side which recently terminated contract with Jarbinsky and approached a former Besiktas legend Mehmet Özdilek.In the first half of the game,the control was on us,but they had some serious attemps to the goal.At the second half,with Tello and Cisse,we owned the control totally,and pawned Antalyaspor’s head with a 3-0 win.

“Şifo” Mehmet Özdilek was graceful to Antalyaspor board as they did not ask him to manage the team this evening.

New Things.

By: Ozzy | Comments Add Comments

As Mustafa Denizli has aprroeched to the team,some things have changed.

The team transformed the formation its formation 4-4-2 to 3-4-3 and became a more offensive team.Our team have won last week match against Gençlerbirliği,and tonight,we drew against Sivasspor,which have recently scumbbed Fenerbahçe.That post will not be about results or players.It’ll be about Denizli,Demirören and tactical terms.

Fresh Approach.

By: Ozzy | Comments 3 Comments

After an expected win over Hacettepespor,at 7th of September,Ertugrul Saglam has officially resigned from his job in Besiktas JK.

Good or bad?Waiting to see.Although his unexperienced approach and issues on his ability to manage the team,I’ve always had faith in Ertugrul Saglam.He may be young,but he was talented.But he lost the chance and its stupidity to cry aftermath.Maybe because of the replacement.Two days later,at 9th of September,2008,a Turkish football legend,Mustafa Denizli,has approached to the team.

FF.

By: Ozzy | Comments 4 Comments

First of all,I apologise for post-less previous weeks.I have recently had dozens of things to do,one of them was moving my house,so I was not able to connect to internet for a long time.This post will include an overview to previous weeks,an overview for this week,and some comments on our team.

Last week was,failure.No matter all.We lost 2 points against Istanbul B.B. Spor.That was just the beginning.Because of those lost points,we lost our leadership.After,Kazim Kanat,who was one of the most experienced football writers in the country,and probably one of the few honest ones,lost his life.That was a great loss for the football-press in Turkey.Greater loss for Besiktas community.He was a great fan,a real admirer of Besiktas and ruler of Besiktas principles.As that was not enough,with special thanks for Hakan Arikan and Gokhan Zan,our team defeated in UEFA Cup against an god damn unknown Ukraine team,called Metalist Kharkiv,which compeletely deserved the victory.

Bitefight.

By: Ozzy | Comments 1 Comment

No goals.No positions.Not even shots to goalie.Only fight,struggle in midfield.That was exactly the post-match review of the last week’s game.Our team drew 0-0 with Trabzonspor in Avni Aker stadium.Both teams played average,and match was totally about surviving in midfield.

Before the First Big One

By: Ozzy | Comments Add Comments

After the international break of the campaign,this evening,our team will be opposing Trabzonspor in Avni Aker,I would like to take a quick look to the tiny news occured during the break.A detailed overview will be proceeded by me aftermatch,either.

Our team made an exhibition game with former-manager Mircea Lucescu side Shaktar Donestk,and lead to a 2-1 victory.On that match,license-problemed Anthony Seric joined to the team after Gordon go on a loan deal with FC Duisburg.

To preview the match of this evening,both sides are looking for victory,both sides are starving for victory,both sides have no credit for loss,and both sides are ambitious.So,tonight’s game will be a real show of football.In fact,our main opponents,Galatasaray(drew against Antalyaspor) and Fenerbahçe(lost against Hacettepe),lost points at the former evening’s matches,and that would be great if we won.However,it wont be as easy as it is expected.Trabzonspor have no point loss at the previous weeks,like us,and they will be supported well by their fans at home.Gökhan Zan and İbrahim Toraman are injured,and that may occure some problems in defence if we do not cover it well.

The biggest disadvantage for us at tonight’s game will be Holosko’s injury,he wont be able to play tonight,and it is gray if someone can cover the space.

We’ll wait and see.

Forza Beşiktaş.
