Zafer Görgen keeps Gaziantep in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Victor Jesus says Gaziantep went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Gaziantep

Agustín García Basso was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad15 Nov 2027

A one-man rearguard from Zafer Görgen

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Victor Jesus: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Gaziantep have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Gaziantep

Luis Pérez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A fracture rules Alexandru Maxim out for 38 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gaziantep will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A one-man rearguard from Zafer Görgen

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match25 Sep 2027

The wait goes on for Gaziantep

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market27 Sep 2027

Victor Jesus puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Gaziantep, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Luis Pérez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gaziantep this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Jadel Katongo out for 40 days

The medical room confirms 40 days on the sidelines for Jadel Katongo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Alexandru Maxim breaks a bone — 109 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 109 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market2 Aug 2027

Victor Jesus asks to leave Gaziantep

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Burak Bozan has been here 8 seasons

32 appearances across 8 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Alan Alegre breaks a bone — 144 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 144 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Kacper Kozłowski at Gaziantep

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Kacper Kozłowski is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market1 Mar 2027

Arda Kızıldağ hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Gaziantep can pretend not to have heard.

Match27 Feb 2027

Nobody wants to play Gaziantep right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Victor Jesus gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Victor Jesus has just signed for Gaziantep, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Denis Drăguş in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gaziantep this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match27 Feb 2027

Gaziantep are at home on the road

4 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Words at Gaziantep training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohamed Bayo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Another clean sheet for Zafer Görgen

13 shut-outs and counting. Goalkeepers are only noticed when they fail, and Zafer Görgen has given nobody the chance.

Match27 Feb 2027

Gaziantep find a way past Kasimpasa

Kasimpasa made Gaziantep work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

Ninety minutes of Denis Drăguş at his very best

Marked 8.11. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Gaziantep.
