Beautiful.

Dear Benfiquistas, I have to say, you really pulled one over on us by selling us João Mário. Since he joined, our game has slowed down. What's more, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, just like Roger Schmidt, keeps putting him in the lineup. Beşiktaş fans are getting quite frustrated with this.

Beautiful.

In terms of location, it is one of the most beautiful and expensive spots in the world. When Beşiktaş Club sought official permission to renovate and rebuild their stadium, the Erdoğan government (known for their love of profit) proposed the following: "We will build you a new 70,000-seat stadium in another place in the city, and in return, you give us this land." Naturally, the Beşiktaş community rejected this offer. We are not like Galatasaray. They gave up their historic stadium and accepted a similar deal. However, the Beşiktaş community declined this offer. We built it with our own money. It could have been with a bigger capacity, but they did not allow it. By the way, the district where the Beşiktaş stadium is located is also called Beşiktaş—one of the most beautiful and popular neighborhoods in Istanbul.

Last Monday, an important derby match took place in the Turkish football league between Gala and Beşiktaş. During the derby at Galatasaray's stadium, a refereeing scandal occurred that will be remembered in Turkish football history. According to retired referees, the official failed to issue eight yellow cards to Galatasaray. By the 30th minute, Galatasaray should have received two red cards. This referee had previously officiated a Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby last season, unjustly giving Fenerbahçe a red card and disallowing one of their goals for a questionable foul. After the recent derby, public backlash was strong, and yesterday the Turkish Football Federation announced that the referee's license had been revoked.

It was also revealed that the referee is a devoted Galatasaray fan and even attended some Galatasaray matches in disguise.

Some believe that the Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe communities are being punished for their opposition to the Erdoğan regime. Beşiktaş's well-known fan group, ÇARŞI, is famous for its stance against the regime, and some of its members are still facing trial for participating in the Gezi Park protests against Erdoğan in 2013.

Don't want to rub it in, but I saw this coming:

O Beşiktaş tem um jogo às 19h45 (horário de Portugal). A Sports TV vai transmitir o jogo. Queria apenas lembrar aos amigos que quiserem assistir.

Gedson... What a waste of talent. Just another case.

I just learned from the Turkish media that Benfica has signed Aktürkoğlu. I hope it's not true. He has some talent, but he's definitely not at the level required for Benfica. He wouldn't make a significant difference.

That's disheartening, people in the main forum were speaking highly of him.

Of course, he's not a bad player. He made significant contributions to Galatasaray in terms of scoring and saved many matches. However, he's more suited to open spaces and will be very effective in transition play. His passing quality is also good. Nevertheless, I don't think he can be a key player at Benfica's level. Or perhaps, I simply want a higher-caliber player for Benfica.

Thanks for the description, and apologies in advance for João Mário. Hope it works out for everyone, but in any case, no refunds.

@Black Eagle, this situation with João Mário is both tragic and hilarious.

On one hand, we're dismayed that things didn't work out for him and Beşiktas, but on the other hand, you guys really saved us because our imbecile previous coach kept using him from the start in all games, despite his terrible performances and getting boos from the whole stadium, so we really owe you guys a big one.

I hope we can make it up to you in one way or another, there's a massive debt to pay you now.
