Ahmed Hassan was suspended and missed the game against Vestel Manisa. Besiktas won the game with the single goal of Bobo.

Goal: Min. 23 Bobo (Besiktas)

Bookings: Min. 33 Ibrahim Toraman (Besiktas), Min. 81 Meduna (Vestel Manisaspor)

Besiktas won at least in the fourth match of trying. The Eagles didn't force themselves too much and came home without injury. There are two weeks left in the league and one of them is against Galatasaray. Fenerbahce passed Trabzonspor and have an advantage over Gala. They are still same in the league table and this shows the importance of the derby. Besiktas will face Galatasaray in the league and Fenerbahce in the cup in the upcoming days.

Ahmed Hassan had told EP that he is awaiting the cup final and will try his best to beat Fener and win what could be his last cup with Besiktas.

On the other hand, Besiktas news site Bjkhaber.org and Fanatik Daily gave hot news about Hassan’s possible transfer to Anderlecht. The Turkish media learnt the transfer news from EgyptianPlayers.com and said that it seems true after Ahmed Hassan went to Belgium for one day after permission.


Fanatik and Bjkhaber claim that Hassan went to Belgium with his agent Alper Gokdemir and met with the directors of the Brussels outfit. Hassan was interested in seeing Anderlecht’s training ground and stadium and returned to Istanbul without signing.

It is reported that Hassan negotiated with Anderlecht but is still waiting till the end of the season. It is understandable as Hassan will be faced with a cup final and a signing may change the concentration of the team in this hard period. Hassan also waited for an offer from the Besiktas board, but after a long silence he thought that Tigana is not thinking of him for next season and he stated that he is looking for a new club.

One of the top selling papers in Belgium, Het Laatste Nieuws, wrote that Anderlecht and the Egyptian Ahmed Hassan negotiated a contract and that Hassan will present himself at the Belgian club soon for next season. Anderlecht are leading the league in front of Standard Liege by two points and they are guaranteed to qualify to the Champions League. The paper claims that Hassan wants to wear the Anderlecht shirt with big interest.


EgyptianPlayers.com reported the transfer of Ahmed Hassan days before. It is clear that Egyptian’s contract will finish in the next months. He will be free and has so much interest from European and Asian clubs. It seems he'll leave Besiktas after he didn't receive a “stay” message. Besiktas are looking for new faces for next season. Kluivert and Wiltord's names are at the top of the list while Fahri Tatan (Tukish U-21 from Rizespor) signed a contract. A piece of transfer news is in from Anderlecht too, as Turkish international Serhat Akin who has been playing for Anderlecht for one season said he is unhappy at Anderlecht and in the Belgian League. Akin said he doesn't feel excited in the league and may return to Turkey for Besiktas.
