STRIKING PARTNERSHIPS

Strikers often work in pairs to form effective partnerships. The best duos consist of players with differing styles, much like the partnerships between central defenders. One well-tested formula places a tall, powerful player with smaller, more agile one. The larger wins headers and sets up goals for his partner, or tries to retain the ball to bring him more into play.

STAR STRIKERS

Romario and Bebeto;

Shearer and Sheringham;

Morientes And Raul;

Bergkamp and Henry;

Thierry Henry (R) of Arsenal celebrates    With his intelligent play and silky-smooth passing ability, Dennis Bergkamp was the perfect foil for goal-scorer Thierry Henry, his great striking partner at Arsenal from 1997-2006.

Hakan Sukur and Arif Erdem;

arif-erdem-hakan-sukur-2000-uefa-finali-sporlog-haziran-2009     There was only going to be one partnership at the top of this list. Hakan Sukur & Arif Erdem.. The pair seemed to be able to communicate telepathically and their different footballing styles worked perfectly in accordance with each other. In their second season together, they scored 53 goals between them, firing Galatasaray to a historic treble-winning season. They continued their incredible partnership for another four seasons and are arguably one of the best striking partnerships in the modern game.

Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
And like my dreams,
They fade and die,
Fortunes always hiding,

Pretty bubbles in the air .

Endüstriyel Futbola Karşı St. Pauli

St. Pauli, onyedinci yüzyılda cüzam ve vebalı insanları şehirden uzak tutmak için kurulan Hamburg’un Beyoğlusu. Daha çok eğlence ve kriminal olaylarla adını duyuran semt bir de kendisi kadar ilginç bir futbol takımına sahip…

FC_St_Pauli_skull_and_crossbones

FC St. Pauli , semtteki liman işçileri ve emekçiler tarafından kurulan takım 100 yılı aşmış bir geçmişe sahip. St. Pauli birçok açıdan dünyanın en sıradışı futbol takımlarından biridir. Onların ne denli sıradışı olduklarının bir örneği 2007 yılında yaşanmış endüstriyel futbolun bir icadı olduğuna inandıkları elektronik skorbord’u istememiş elle değişen manuel skorbord kullanmakta direnmişlerdir.

FC St. Pauli - SV Werder Bremen

Almanya’nın hemen hemen her kulübünde bir neo-nazi taraftar grubu bulunurken st. pauli’nin kapısından bile giremiyorlar. Taraftar profili hemen hemen sol görüşlü, tribünlerde evsizleri, anti faşistleri, işçileri birleşip 90 dakika boyunca herşeye isyan ediyorlar. Tribünlerde Che guavara, Marx ve kuru kafa posterlerinin yanı sıra AC/DC şarkısıyla maçlara çıkıyorlar. Solingen katliamından sonra ”Faşistleri defedin, biz hepimiz kardeşiz” diye açtıkları Türkçe pankart ile de tepkilerini ortaka koymuşlar.
