FC Pinzgau - BEŞİKTAŞ : 0-8 (Rabona "Letra" and "Trivela" Goal )

Bebe, Simao, Quaresma and Almeida all score in pre-season friendlies




Several of Besiktas’ Portuguese contingent found themselves on the scoresheet following their two pre-season friendlies versus Austrian Third Division opposition.
Newcomer Bebe scored in the 3-1 win over Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday, and Simao, Quaresma (two) and Almeida scored in the 8-0 victory over FC Pinzgau Saalfelden on Thursday. Sidnei, another of Besiktas’ new signings, on loan from Benfica, also added a goal in the rout.
The Turkish club has spent the last couple of weeks in Leogang, Austria, training for the upcoming season. Numerous additions have been made during this offseason and expectations will be very high for the club, which now boasts a total of five Portuguese players.

Simao, signed last year from Atletico Madrid, had this to say about Besiktas’ training camp: “Having most foreign newcomers speak Portuguese is definitely an advantage. It shortens the adaptation period. Every day we are blending together as a unit and getting ready to face the upcoming challenges. We are fully committed to win everything in our way this season.”
Besiktas are bringing their pre-season training camp to a close, and will be travelling to Spain to face Granada CF and Atletico Madrid in a 3-team tournament. Two 45 minute halves are scheduled on July 21st, before Besiktas return to Istanbul on the 22nd.

Goal.com: "Atletico Madrid line up €20m offer for Besiktas' Ricardo Quaresma"


"Atletico Madrid has launched a shock move for Besiktas winger Ricardo Quaresma, according to reports from Turkey.

Lig TV claims Atleti submitted a €20 million bid for the Portuguese star's services, which was allegedly rejected by Besiktas, who are demanding a fee closer to €30m.

The Spanish giants are also said to be considering another approach for Galatasaray captain Arda Turan as they prepare to overhaul their squad in the summer.

Besiktas and Atleti have enjoyed good relations recently, with Simao Sabrosa moving to Turkey in January from the Vicente Calderon.

While Turan is though to remain their first-choice target, a move for Quaresma could still be possible, with The Black Eagles interested in the capital club's unsettled striker Diego Forlan, who could potentially be included in the deal."

Portugal vs Finland


Portugal secured a 2-0 victory over Finland in an international friendly and they had debutant Ruben Micael to thank as he score one in each half to give his country a victory in a fast-paced match that they dominated.
Micael opened the scoring after 10 minutes, sliding in at the far post to tap in a Ricardo Quaresma cross to net his first international goal. Minutes later, they came close again, Raul Meireles taking a ferocious free kick, but Real Madrid defender Pepe wasn’t able to score from the rebound after a nervous moment for the Finnish.
Finland were not totally unable to create an opening in the first half hour, as they started to string some passes together, and their first chance fell to Henrik Daniel Sjolund, who scooped a difficult volley over the bar. Minutes later Alexei Eremenko had a shot which tested Eduardo in the Portugal goal. The shot-stopper survived a scare when he misplaced a pass in his own box, but Pepe was able to clean up for his ‘keeper.
Portugal finished the half strongly, with Quaresma’s runs causing problems for the Finnish defence, and on one typical Portuguese break, Quaresma snatched at a volley, slicing his shot wide.
Portugal continued to create openings in the second half. Quaresma flashed a ball across the face of goal, but there was no one to tap it in, and Pepe put a header over from a corner a moment later. In the 56th minute, they missed a golden opportunity. Following more quick passing, Hugo Almeida opted to try and back-heel a Nelson cross when he could have easily taken a touch, though replays showed him to be offside.
Portugal finally got a second goal in the 71st Minute. Nani, on as a substitute for Quaresma
