First Trabzonspor in Italy than, Besiktas at home in Istanbul gave something to simile to Turkish football fans after Turkish football rocked with negative news about Turkish football...
They shocked the world and beat Inter in Italy 0-1.....
Great volley by Halil Altintop hit the upper crossbar and came back to out side of the box and there it was Czech defender Ondrej Celustka, took the ball and went around the Inter defense and scored the goal...
Inter Milan and fans watching the match were stunned!
Trabzonspor faced Inter 28 years ago back at home....
At that time , Current coach Senol Gunes , than he was the keeper for Trabzonspor.
But at this match, because of suspension by UEFA ,he had to watch the match from stands not from sideline!
He said, he was very sorry he was not on the sidelined with his team,,,
Before the match,Senol Gunes said "I played for Trabzonspor 28 years ago against Inter and I'm very lucky to find myself here again as coach, I hope it will be a great game," said the man who led Turkey to the World Cup semi-finals in 2002.
"It's a great memory for me, I'm happy that we could meet again after so many years.
"We won at home but although we didn't play here in Milan we lost the away leg.
"It was many years ago but I still have great memories and I hope there will be other opportunities to see each other in the future."
Trabzonspor goal keeper Tolga Zengin was the "player of the match" with very critical saves he made.
Tolga Zengin was huge in this match,.....
I think, he was the main reason that Trabzonspor won this match!
Last time Turkish keeper made a name for him self was Sabri Dino....
Italian fans will remember him from 1973 when he played there, against Italian National team with Turkish National team..Sabri Dino played for Besiktas in Turkey...
So, with this win Trabzonspor grabs the first place in the group...
That is hell of a good start for a team who is there for first time!
******************************************************************
ON the other hand Besiktas the team who is in Europa League beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 5-1 at home in their first match in the group.
Although Besiktas scored a lot of goals, I hope this should not give high hopes to Besiktas fans!
Because, the football that I saw wasn't that good....
Besiktas will not find a defense like Maccabi Tel Aviv's defense in the Turkish League..
After struggling in Eskisehir last weekend against Eskisehirspor and starting to Turkish Super League with a loss this could be big morale for players and fans but football wise is not enough!
Lastly, new transfer's Edu's goal should tell you what kind of defense that Besiktas was playing against!
It was really bad......
Anyway, Besiktas won the match with big score....
Only thing I did not like in this match, was fans in the stadium using absurd language to Israel and Fenerbahce's jailed CEO, Aziz Yildirim...
There was no place for this, I condemn the Besiktas players for this...
There should be no swearing in the stands, in my opinion...
And lastly , politics and football does not go hand and hand!
