Good signals.

By: Ozzy | August 29th, 2008

Our team has managed to a satisfactory 4-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzigovan side Siroki Brijeg.We have anticipated the good signals given by the team,at last,Besiktas team became a whole.Holosko and Serdar Özkan were quite effective,once again.Tello’s attacks from left-back was effective,and he managed to score a goal at 86th minute of the game.Midfield couple,Uğur İnceman and Edouard Cisse were also effective in our attacks.Those were all good signals on last nights game.But the opponent’s quality was no more than an average team in Bank Asya 1. Leauge.That’s where Ertuğrul Sağlam must get in action,and avoid players to be mistaken by this ownage.

We played well.Especially,at the second half of the game,when our attacking trio started to work in contribution with our midfield couple,the effect was tremendous.Ertuğrul Sağlam seems to have learnt a lot from last year.He managed to operate all players in a system,at last.That resulted into good team-play,Uğur and Edouard combined defence and offence well.Uğur,also scored a goal which can be used to answer “What is determination?” question.If we can keep this defence-midfield-offence combination,it would be hard to stop us.However,Ertuğrul Sağlam is not a manager who is famous with his level of discipline.Sinan Engin is in managing squad to cover up this negativity,I hope they won’t fail.

Another paragraph is for our defensive line.Serdar Kurtuluş done much better than Ali Tandoğan in last night’s game.He’s a talented youngster,a strong full back,and he’s playing nearly without a mistake.Last night,he proved he deserves a first-team place in Besiktas defence.The center-backs,Zapotocny and Sivok,man,thats it!Zapotocny is commanding his friends,where Sivok haven’t missed any airballs.They will become a good couple day after day.Midfield,is a spine of a team.Defence,is the bottom.If your bottom is not strong,it doesnt matter how strong is your spine;it will fall,sooner or later.This season,our bottom is fine.Tello,was probably the man of the match.He felt free to contribute in attacks.But I still have doubts in his defensive abilities,and Siroki Brijeg is not a team that can show whether Tello capable in defence or not.We’ll see during the season.

Last paragraph is for our fans.Çarşı is alive.In a post-match interview,Zapotocny said;

I was expecting the fans.But that was more than I can imagine.They were fantastic.

Nice to see our famous fan-group back in Inönü.Çarşı is always an advantage for our team,and this victory have satisfied them.The support will grow,and I dont have any doubt about the presence of Çarşı,after last night’s game.
