Marked for Can Torun

Squad22 Nov 2027

Renato Nhaga 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 Erzurumspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match20 Nov 2027

Istanbulspor take the points off Erzurumspor

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Can Torun out for 19 days

The medical room confirms 19 days on the sidelines for Can Torun, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Matija Orbanić gifts one

A goalkeeper’s error has no defender behind it to tidy it away. He knew before the ball crossed the line, the crowd knew a second later, and there is nothing anybody can say tonight.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Matija Orbanić is still paying for one afternoon at Erzurumspor

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Erkan Yildirim answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Batuhan Kör gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Bookings catch up with Yakup Kırtay

One yellow too many, and a match watched from the stand. The most avoidable absence in football, and Erzurumspor will feel it on Saturday.

Market22 Nov 2027

Matija Orbanić linked with a move away

The name of Matija Orbanić keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Erzurumspor say nothing, which says plenty.

Match23 Oct 2027

No mercy from Erzurumspor

Adana Demirspor will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Erzurumspor were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings25 Oct 2027

No sign of nerves from Renato Nhaga at 20 — 7.86

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Renato Nhaga did not need any: 7.86, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Renato Nhaga 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 Erzurumspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces25 Oct 2027

One of their own: Renato Nhaga

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Erzurumspor lose Can Torun

48 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings25 Oct 2027

Both jobs done by Cheikne Sylla — 7.11

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 10 actions, 7.11, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Player ratings25 Oct 2027

A defender's afternoon for Guram Giorbelidze

Defensive actions: 18. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

The dugout25 Oct 2027

The manager makes an example of Eren Tozlu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Luan Andrey wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Erzurumspor can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.
