Market

Recep Burak Yılmaz 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 The request is on a desk at Hatayspor, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

6 saves: Benassi was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The dugout

Cemil Aksu keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hatayspor may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Giovanni stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Giovanni and Hatayspor agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hatayspor

Giovanni 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hatayspor against Kocaelispor

0‑1 to Kocaelispor, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Appearance number 100 for Jaurès Assoumou

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Market

Luiz Otávio is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Hatayspor has been clear about where Luiz Otávio stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

No hiding place for Charly Dutournier

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

Match

No end in sight to Hatayspor's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hatayspor has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Mustafa Hekimoğlu, 19, steals the show — 7.72

Marked 7.72 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Hakan Çinemre 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 The request is on a desk at Hatayspor, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Hatayspor

Giovanni 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.

Squad

Words at Hatayspor training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mertcan Ayhan 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hatayspor against Sariyer

1‑2 to Sariyer, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Cemil Aksu signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Cemil Aksu and Hatayspor agree another 3 years.

The dugout

Emre Turuc answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Cristian Arroyave's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief
