********************************
According to him, Besiktas will move in to Vodafone Satadium around September of this year !
Coming back to today's match against Liverpool, both team will miss important players...
Liverpool has theh advatage but, it's very important to remember, a quick goal could put pressure on Liverpool at Ataturk stadium with rowdy Besiktas fans !
Besiktas, has huge problems at the back four.....
To order to win tonight, defense should have flowless match and they have to score goals..
Demba Ba and Gokhan Tore might play ....That will will be huge plus for Besiktas !
