8 Months Later, Nobre Finally Scores
By: Akın Parlas | September 1st, 2010
Besiktas was the winner against Karabükspor in an away game in the 3rd week of Turkish Super League. The “Black Eagle” grabbed 3 points by 4 goals. Mert Nobre, who was not able to score for 8 months, scored 2 and prevented losing the match.
Besiktas had some difficulties in the first half. Especially, Karabükspor striker Emenike “the black diamond” distressed defensive line and he scored suddenly after a mistake of İbrahim Toraman. After conceding a goal, Besiktas took the control of the game and Mert Nobre, who was the silent striker of the team, scored twice. And with his goals, he sent a silent message to the board in his own way. “Don’t search for a striker, I’m here”
Besiktas pulled itself together in the second half and Ricardo Quaresma was the key player again. First, he won a penalty and Guti scored it. And after that, Q7 made his dribbling straightly to goal line and passed his opponents easily as if he was in a computer game. That was an easy and interesting goal for himself too.
I think, Besiktas would have serious problems against a tough opponent due to its weakness in defensive line. Despite the performance of Nobre in this match, a striker is still needed. By the way, there was a foul in Nobre’s second goal and Quaresma’s position was not a penalty.
