At the Besiktas USA Gala , I had a brief chance to talk to Fikret Orman about the second leg match .
He said, "Besiktas still has a chance and with the help of the 12th man (Besiktas fans ), we will fight until last minutes of the match "
He also said, if Besiktas plays like Besiktas we should have no problem beating Liverpool in Istanbul.

********************************
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 !
