Have we submitted our rosters already to UEFA?

 

Good luck GS.

Make Turkiye and yourselves proud!

 

I think the final roster will be after the qualification rounds so there's no hurry to catch a deadline. I don't think any new transfer would make the match squad anyway.

 

Galatasaray were on their game today and I don't see Koprivnica as a real threat. They are no different than Rize.

 

As posted in another topic...

Slaven in European Cups

1st round : Glenavon 1-1 ; 0-3 Slaven
2nd round : Zaglebie 1-1 ; 0-0 Slaven
3rd round : Slaven 1-1 ; 0-2 Sigma Oloumouc

2000/2001 : Intertoto Cup
1rd round : Anorthosis 0-2 ; 0-7 Slaven
2nd round : Slaven 1-0 ; 1-0 Bastia
3rd round: Slaven 2-1 ; 0-2 Aston Villa

2003/2004 : Intertoto Cup
1st round : Hibernians 2-1 ; 0-3 Slaven
2nd round : Slaven 2-0 ; 0-1 Vllaznia
3rd round : Slaven 0-0 ; 2-2 Spartak Trnava
Semi-Finals : Lille 3-0 ; 1-1 Slaven

2004/2005 : Intertoto Cup
1st round : Slaven 1-0 ; 1-0 Drava
2nd round : Slaven 3-2 ; 1-0 Gloria
3rd round : Deportivo 3-0 ; 1-0 Slaven

They beat Aston Villa at home and drew Lille. So I think it won't be so easy as we say there. If we play carrefully and respect our opponent, we will trash them in Ali Sami Yen like Mlada Boleslav last year.

 

one of Galatasary's staff members came to Croatia to watch both of Slaven Belupo's league matches since the draw was made (both comfortable wins). His name is Ahmet Akcan. Here are some quotes he gave to the Croatian press:
"Slaven are a better team that what I was expecting when I came to Croatia. Our goal of course is to win both matches, but we cannot have the attitude that the match is already won before the game is played. On any day, any club can win. We cannot take Slaven lightly."

Slaven Belupo manager Kruno Jurcic is pretty humble before the match, he respects Galatasary very much and says it will be spectacular in Koprivnica.
"We have a lot of information on Galatasary, I have watched their matches on tape. Galatasary is a big club, there is no unknowns within their team. Unlike in the last round against Teuta, where we knew nothing about them, this time against "Gala" we will have a good picture of their team."

He added: "This will be a festival, open football and it will be a good experience for the players and myself. I was lucky enough as a player to play in some big matches (he was on the 98 World Cup team) but I know for many players on my squad, this will be something new and special. We will have to give 100% against a good team like Galatasary."

In my opinion, I think it will be a tough match in Koprivnica. My optimistic side says a draw, but my normal side p says Galatasary will win something like 2:1. In Turkey it will be difficult and that's where I think Gala will show their quality. I don't know what kind of crowd will be at the game but if its only 50% of what a "Gala-Fener" match is, the players on Slaven can't handle that I think

 

Is Linkoooooooooooln going to play?

 

Please be careful when writing our clubs name. It's Galatasaray.

I think it might a draw away for us. I would like to know what they're strengths are. Care to inform us?

 

Is Linkoooooooooooln going to play?

They're looking at it day by day. He might or might not. It's a strain

 

I think it might a draw away for us. I would like to know what they're strengths are. Care to inform us?

the attack is pretty good, they play an attacking style, 4-3-3. Their defense though is pretty shaky. I think Galatasary is too strong for them though, Slaven might surprise them first leg because they really have nothing to lose

 

Galatasary

It's Galatasaray, just for future reference :star:

Calm down, dude made a mistake, its not like he killed someone....
Anyhow, here is Belupo team:

- Iveša - Bošnjak, Radeljić, Kristić, Poldrugač - Jajalo, Posavec, Sopić, Poljak - Šehić, Vručina

That is the first Line up. They play 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 formation, depending on the team they are playing against. Against Us, they will probably play 4-4-2 ...

Best part of the team is Midfield and Forward. Posevac and Sopic are playing key role in the midfield. We should watch out for the long rage efforts, because their players are known to hit those kind of strikes.
Forward is very skillful as well. They don't need 100 chances ( Like Umit or Hakan ) to score, 1 great chance - probably 1 goal. So we need to be careful, especially Servet and his stupid mistakes.

Vrucina is the Arif type when it comes to faking penalties and stuff. That can be dangerous too.

Belupo is in great form at the moment, they played 4 games and won 3. Alongside Dinamo, they are in the best form at the moment in Croatian league.

Bad parts are lack of decent bench players and their defence is weak.
( Even tho they are getting better with every single match )...
Plus, they never played against team like Galatasaray last few seasons, so the pressure might overpower them. They are not used to great atmosphere ( as you can tell by their stadium ), so it will be vital to show them what are fans and what is Ali Sami Yen. They have a pretty young manager and that can be vital too.

As I read in papers, both Feldkamp and Ahmet analyzed the opponent very well and I don't expect any huge problems. Even tho they are capable of hurting us.
( But again, every team is when you don't take them seriously )

 

Thanks for the information. You're well-informed :thumbsup:

Arda is banned for this match. In case Lincoln doesn't get better, we might have a little problem.

 

your club's president asked for 5,000 tickets...problem, the stadium only holds 3,500

they say 400 Galatasaray fans will come along with 58 news people, again problems, there is only room for 30 news people p

 

:howler:

We really should tear this side to pieces. But, it is football, and anything can happen.

 

Let's hope we put in a good showing, like we did against Rize and reap the rewards.

 

Gala can win this... i expect nothing less

 

Iveša - Bošnjak, Radeljić, Kristić, Poldrugač - Jajalo, Posavec, Sopić, Poljak - Šehić, Vručina

Best part of the team is Midfield and Forward. Posevac and Sopic are playing key role in the midfield.

Posavec actually played in Turkey, for Ankaragucu. Sopic is an older player who played some seasons in Germany. Jajalo is a young player to look out for

 

I wonder if Carrusca is match fit. Without Arda and possibly Lincoln, we need some creativity. Then again, Hasan is available for this as well.

I love how Galatasaray is headlining the event.

 

This team was founded in 1907. Another reason to beat them
