Match19 Aug 2028

11 matches without a win for Ankaragucu

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Ankaragucu are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Aug 2028

A fracture rules Mustafa Çeçenoğlu out for 35 days

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

Real improvement from Jonathan Flores at Ankaragucu

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jonathan Flores is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Tempers go at Ankaragucu

Mahmut Tekdemir 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.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Dorgéles Néné has improved at 25, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Nobody could get near Dorgéles Néné

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match19 Aug 2028

Honours even between Ankaragucu and Alanyaspor

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Off the bench and decisive: Eric Ramírez

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Ankaragucu were going nowhere until he came on.

Market21 Aug 2028

Diogo Coelho leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Diogo Coelho leaves Ankaragucu the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad16 Aug 2027

Nehemías Almaraz is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Kaan Ayhan 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 Ankaragucu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom16 Aug 2027

Graduation day at Ankaragucu

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Özgür Aktaş falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad16 Aug 2027

A late step up for Mesut Kesik

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Market16 Aug 2027

Ankaragucu promote Recep Yazici from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Recep Yazici has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
