SOUNDBITE: (English) : Slaven Bilic, Besiktas manager
“I am coming from a country with more or less the same mentality. We are also hot-blooded Croatians from the south. The fans of my hometown, Hajduk Split, are of that kind as Besiktas fans are. So, I can’t wait for that and it’s definite that they (Besiktas fans) are going to be our big advantage and big force.”
“It’s a shame okay, but I think it’s not over yet. It’s a shame because the team qualified for Europe and I mean you are taking away that the guys deserved, and the people from the club and the fans and everything. Our friends all over Europe, we want it (Besiktas) on the football pitch. It’s not okay, but even if the decision of UEFA stays like this… stays like this, we will try to do it next year, all right? So, there is no problem in terms of motivation or playing.”
