Squad

Deniz Türüç damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Konyaspor run riot against Eyupspor

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

Both of them Enis Bardhi's — 8.97

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.97, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Words exchanged at Konyaspor

Guilherme and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Konyaspor

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Diogo Gonçalves was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

One of those days for Diogo Gonçalves

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Chidozie Awaziem

Marked 8.14 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Jean-Luc Dompé

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout

A satisfied Caner Tufan

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑0, Caner Tufan could afford to be generous.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Deniz Türüç

59 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Konyaspor lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

A row about effort at Konyaspor

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jean-Luc Dompé was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Amedspor take the points off Konyaspor

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

No hiding place for Jean-Luc Dompé

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jean-Luc Dompé, and the manager let it.

Squad

Efe Seçil signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Efe Seçil commits to Konyaspor for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Konyaspor

Marko Jevtović 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.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Caner Tufan left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings

Jo Jin-Ho was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

Deniz Türüç has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Konyaspor will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief
