Happy birthday Besiktas

Celebrating their centenary, there was a feeling around Besiktas JK that this would be their season. With players, backroom staff and supporters united, the club are striding purposefully towards the Turkish title.

Extraordinary run
A 1-0 win on a sodden pitch against Istanbul rivals Fenerbahçe SK last weekend underlined that the 'Black Eagles' are the team to beat in Turkey this season. That they have yet to lose in the league, Turkish Cup or UEFA Cup since the arrival of Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu in the summer is a sign of the spirit at the Inönü stadium.

None shall pass
The only remaining foreign coach in the Turkish top flight, Lucescu's side give nothing away. Tellingly, they have conceded just nine goals in 18 league games this season.

'Little things'
"A match is won with little things, not with big things," Lucescu told uefa.com last year. "There are no longer players who are so special and so good that they can win a match alone. And even if there is an extraordinary individual player, the coach has to fit him into the team." He has certainly done that, forging some fine players into a fearsome unit

Defensive steel
With Ronaldo Guiaro and the experienced Antonio Carlos Zago the regular features of a back three, Lucescu has created a fine defence. Ronaldo has even mastered a knack for scoring vital goals - just as well, because goalscoring is not Besiktas's strong point. Averaging just over one-and-a-half goals a game, the Istanbul side are a reflection of Lucescu's cautious approach. Their trail to the top of the table has been paved with one-goal wins.

Trusted striker
Lucescu has signed players who he knows are capable of playing his style of game, like striker Daniel Pancu, who arrived on loan from FC Rapid Bucuresti for the season. A player who became accustomed to the Lucescu approach while playing in Romania, he has scored eight goals in 23 games to prove his worth.

Valuable competition
His arrival has also set up valuable competition for striking positions, and with Turkish international Ilhan Mansiz having flitted in and out of the team because of injury, his deputy Ahmet Dursun has been able to battle his way into the hearts of supporters.

Midfield guile
That midfield playmaker Sergen Yalçin has also been having a fine season has done the strikers no harm. The 30-year-old has yet to add to his six goals in the league with a strike in the UEFA Cup, but his accurate passing has been one of the decisive factors in taking Besiktas to the fourth round of the tournament.

Lucescu's faith
Perhaps the key to Besiktas's success is that Lucescu trusts his players. "The job of the coach finishes the moment the match starts," he explained. "It is then up to the players to show on the pitch what we have worked on and discussed during the week. The coach should let the players use their own intelligence and freely express everything they have accumulated during training."

Controversial move
Lucescu's side are now five points clear of his old club, Galatasaray SK, and a further four ahead of Fenerbahçe. Only Gençlerbirligi stand between Besiktas and the Turkish Cup semi-finals, while SK Slavia Praha are next up in the UEFA Cup. It has all been just reward for the Romanian who won last season's Turkish title with Galatasaray before switching to Besiktas in the summer.

Happy anniversary
A historic treble could yet be on the cards. Either way it has been a 100th anniversary worth celebrating.[hline]Oleyyy oley oley oleyyy şampiyonnnn Beşiktaşşş
