GUTSY GRANDPA ARAGONES BEAT MUSTAFA DENIZLI'S BESIKTAS


Fenerbahce's Spanish coach Luis Aragones talks to his Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos during their Turkish Super League derby soccer match against Besiktas at Sukru Saracoglu stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, Saturday, Nov. 29, 2008. Fenerbahce won the match 2-1.(AP)

Call it luck ....call it Gutsy.......

The match of the week in the week 13, in the Turkcell Super League was the most important match of the week.......

As I wrote in my previous article, Fenerbahce was done in the Champions League, after losing against Porto at home on Tuesday....

I said, they were going to be ready for this match, if they were going to stay the course in the league...

This was the match they had to win....

The whole world knew this, accept,Besiktas's humble coach Mustafa Denizli!...

If he knew, a win would make him the top team in the league! ......

He would play differently.....

Instead, he was going for a draw ..........

He started the match with Nobre on top while guys like Bobbo, Holosko, and set play master Tello were with him on the bench!.....

I wrote it before the match.......

I said, both keeper have to have flawless match.....

Well, Volkan did, but Besiktas keeper Rustu did not........

In the 11th minute of the match on a corner kick , Selcuk Sahin scored the exactly same goal that he score against Galatasaray.

The stupid defense and Rustu Rechber made a huge mistake, on this goal....

Nobre evened things up for Besiktas in the 21st, but, another stupid mistake cost the second goal on a brake away , and Spanish International player Guiza scored the Fener's second goal in the 27 minute of the match.......

In the 41th minute. after Cisse getting his second yellow card, Besiktas was left with one man short on the field....

When every one thought , at the half, Holosko, who was warming up, was going in to the match .....

But, it was changed in the last second by Mustafa Denizli!.........

He decided not to inject any player until 20 minutes remaining of the match......

While grandpa Aragones was sending fresh players on the field, Besiktas's Mustafa Denizli was day dreaming from the sideline !....

The fear and wrong tactics cost the Besiktas this match........

A player like Holosko who scored a goal and made a assist ,one week before, had to start this match...

He was the only guy that will brake the Fenerbahce defense from the center.....

We all saw Young Serdar Ozkan did in the first half of the match.......

He had a lot of miss hits and wide shots...........

At the end Besiktas loss this match because of Denizli's mistakes..

There is no ifs or buts about it!......

With this 2-1 win, Fenerbahce, back in this race for the first time this season..

Thanks to Mustafa Denizli................

  1. Yes, Besiktas may have lost to Fener because of a coaching mistake. I do not disagree. I believe Denizli should have started the match with another attacker (Bobo or Holosko)up top with Nobre. But let's not all blame the coach for what happened in the game. As you may or may not know, Tello was recovering from an injury and was not 100% match fit. That is why he did not make an appearance. In addition, what the hell was the ref thinking when he gave Cisse his first yellow card? If that is a yellow card, every foul in the game should have been a yellow card as well. The second booking for Cisse was justified, but by this time it was too late. Cisse was sent off. He should only have gotten one (his second) yellow card. Playing the whole second half with ten men is no easy task. As we saw, when Bobo and Holosko were introduced into the match, both had incredibly close opportunities to score. Denizli did make a mistake here by not putting the players into the game earlier. The score may have been different, yes, but do not forget that playing with ten men, Besiktas had to defend more than attack in the second half. It was an unfortunate situation.
