Labinot Harbuzi

Genclerbirligi's Swedish player Labinot Harbuzi has made an impressive start for the team. Team's coach Thomas Doll uses him as an attacking midfielder assisting the team's Brazilian striker Kahe. He looks energetic on the field, especially impressing with his long shots. He is the second Swedish player in the Super League. The other one is Galatasaray's Tobias Linderoth.

Bosnia 1 - Turkey 1

Turkish national team had a disastrous score against Bosnia on an away game and lost its chances (I think) to qualify for World Cup 2010.

The team started well, but couldn't sustain its calmness during the game. As a result, they ended up losing their concentration and tactical discipline.

Panathinaikos:1 Galatasaray:3

Galatasaray beat Panathinaikos 1-3 in an away game. The team generally was lucky. Two crucial mistakes by Pana defenders decided the result. But what was really important was Galatasaray's self-confidence and decisiveness in staying in the game.

The Rijkaard File: Galatasaray's Coach Changes the Course of Events for the Team

Frank Rijkaard has enjoyed an absolutely brilliant start with Galatasaray. The team has NOT lost one single game since he has been appointed. Won all the 6 games in the Super League and qualified to the group stage in UEFA Europa league. Along with his assistant, Johan Neeskens, he has probably created the best coaching staff in club's history.

He applies a similar tactic as of Barcelona. With too many passes and ball possession he tires the opponent and relies on the individual talent of attackers. This has proved quite successful so far.

Here is his ideal squad for the team:

Leo Franco

Sabri Sarioglu,
Gokhan Zan,
Servet Cetin,
Hakan Balta

Ayhan Akman,
Mustafa Sarp

Kader Keita,
Arda Turan,
Harry Kewell

Milan Baros
