Squad25 Dec 2034

Tempers go at Alanyaspor

Alexander Nübel 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 row about effort at Alanyaspor

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

The dugout25 Dec 2034

No hiding place for Adrian Benedyczak

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

Match25 Dec 2034

Alanyaspor at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 12, 18 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

Boardroom25 Dec 2034

Wages eat 106% of everything Alanyaspor earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Ruan takes the honours

Marked 7.92 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Alanyaspor had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout25 Dec 2034

Ruan gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Ruan is on it.

Match23 Dec 2034

Alanyaspor and Samsunspor take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout25 Dec 2034

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Interim Coach was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Alanyaspor dressing room was either.

Market18 Dec 2034

Only the photograph left for Furkan Bayır

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Furkan Bayır will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Alanyaspor the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad18 Dec 2034

Words exchanged at Alanyaspor

Alexander Nübel 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.

Hasan Ege Akdoğan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad18 Dec 2034

Words at Alanyaspor training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ruan 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.

Halil Celik arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Halil Celik has, at Alanyaspor, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Match16 Dec 2034

Alanyaspor find a way past Eyupspor

Eyupspor made Alanyaspor work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings18 Dec 2034

The afternoon belonged to Baran Moğultay

A mark of 7.98, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad18 Dec 2034

Halil Celik signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Halil Celik commits to Alanyaspor for another 3 years.

The dugout18 Dec 2034

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Interim Coach kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.
