Besiktas’ biggest advantage will be the fans says Hilbert [divider]
Bayer Leverkusen fullback Roberto Hilbert believes that Beşiktaş’s biggest advantage against Liverpool will be the fans.
The former Beşiktaş player revealed that if the Black Eagles supporters create the kind of atmosphere they did when he was playing for the club that they could pull off a surprise against Liverpool.
“Teams do get worried when playing against Turkish sides, the atmosphere can overwhelm some players especially the less experienced and younger ones,” Hilbert told Bügün.
“Liverpool are going to under a lot of pressure in Istanbul I actually think Beşiktaş will go through.”
