Besiktas end last year with the third. Jean Tigana buy many good players in Nobre(Fenerbahce), Delgado(Basel), Fahri Tatan (Rize), Runje(St.Liege), Burak Yılmaz (Antalya), Baki Mercimek(G.Birligi). But today Delgado is missing.
They have seperated with some known players Tumer,Sergen,Cordoba,Ahmet Hassan,Pancu,Okan Buruk,Cagdas.
The average age for the team is now 3 years less.Tigana want to create a team which runs,press during the match.He wants a team work.
The pre-season matches do not impressed. But the supercup match with Galatasaray and end with win 1-0 , they do goo job.
V.Manisa signed 9 new players for this season but most of them are unknown and inexperienced players.27 year old defender Stephane Borbiconi (38M - 2G last season) from Metz is the only one who looks like a strong addition to Manisa squad with experienced keeper Fevzi from Malatyaspor.The other new signings like Nizamettin (2M) from BVB,Sezer (3M) from Nurnberg,Sinan (16M - 2G)from Telekom are inexperienced players for TSL.Manisa lost some first team players like Sinan Kaloglu,Yılmaz,Zafer Demiray,Arda,DHaene.It's hard to say that new signings will cover this important missings.
Manisa will be without injured midfielder Caner.
Last year all h2h matches end with besiktas wins.
Give half ball handicap, and cheer Besiktas.
