By: Deniz Kutsal | Comments 2 Comments

KAYSERISPOR - FENERBAHCE KARSILASMASI

Injury hit Fenerbahçe secured their 11th away win a row in the Turkish Super League since January 2011 against Kayserispor. An early goal in 7th minute from Fenerbahce’s left winger Caner Erkin secured a 1-0 win on Friday night at Kayseri Kadir Has Stadium.

Yellow Canaries played their familiar 4-4-2 system where a disciplined defensive task didn’t allow for a equaliser to the opponent team. Injured first team players Emre Belozoglu, Serdar Kesimal, Gökhan Gönül, Mehmet Topuz and Selçuk Şahin not been able to play against Kayserispor. Senegalese Winger Issiar Dia and Experienced Striker Semih Şentürk was rested one match in accordance to fixture intensity as Fenerbahce played 4th league game in 11 days and gained 10 points, this is a quite significant performance.

I also have special praise for 18 years old midfielder Gökay Iravul who plyaed for 90 minutes and showed a promising midfield talent. He organized the middle very well and basically did for Fenerbahçe what Xavi does for Barcelona. I appreciate Coach Aykut Kocaman’s match squad and i believe Kocaman will continue to support Fenerbahce’s future like Gökay Iravul, Berk Elitez, Hasan Erbey and Recep Niyaz for upcoming matches.

Beauties and Values of Football at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium

Fenerbahce women and children only rule SporLog 2011 II

Today, it’s a historical day for Turkish Football as 41.663 of women and children came together at Sukru Saracoglu to support Fenerbahçe against Manisaspor, after when Turkish Football Federation imposed ‘women and children only’ rule on badly behaved clubs. (just to compare, the official attendance in Emirates is 46,539 tonight) The new ruling took place on Tuesday, after when Fenerbahce banned with the crowd trouble in the club’s pre-season friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk.

We can call tonight as a great reflection of Atatürk’s modern daughters at Football ground as this seemed very promising and a great scene of football. This is also the first time in the world as only thousands of women and children watched a football match. I’m deeply proud of my unnique team Fenerbahçe and grateful forever to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk cause he’s the only architect of this brilliant night.

Also, i think this is best time ever for the male supporters who stayed at home and watched the match on television (: Just kidding! Thanks goodness God created women (:

Gaziantepspor 1-3 Fenerbahçe SporLog September 2011

Defending Champion Fenerbahçe played at Gaziantespor on last friday to start the second match day of Spor Toto Super League. After spending the summer in “extraordinary conditions”, as coach Aykut Kocaman calls it, Fenerbahçe managed to win 3-1 and to make it two wins in a row.

Gaziantepspor took the lead with the long shot goal of ex-Fenerbahçe midfielder Olcan Adin in the 28th minute. However Fenerbahçe equalized only after 6 mintues as brilliant skipper Alex de Souza scored with short range goal in 34th minute and chip Gaziantepspor’s Lithuanian goalkeeper Karcemarskas.Then Alex’s acute angle volley goal took Fenerbahce to lead in 53th minute of the game. Fenerbahçe’s new signing Henry Bienvenu sealed the win by adding the third goal in the 80th minute with a nice head as the great cross came to Bienvenu from the other new signing Reto Ziegler.

Thus, Fenerbahçe maintained their unbeaten 20 games in the Spor Toto Super League and Captain Alex de Souza proved his top quality once again, scoring twice and making his 300th appearance with Yellow Canaries.

This was a respectful performance once again from the whole Fenerbahçe Team and coach Aykut Kocaman. I think they deserve every single praise as the Club born from the ashes after a turbunal summer with unfair accusations.

Tottenham Hotspur Eye Fenerbahçe’s Scorer Forward Semih Senturk

By: Deniz Kutsal | Comments 1 Comment

Semih Senturk Fenerbahce SporLog 23122010

According to British sports sources, Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur is ready to make a bid for Fenerbahçe’s forward Semih Senturk in replace of poor performance shown strikers Robbie Keane and Roman Pavluchenko on January’s mid transfer season.

27-year-old Semih Senturk has 21 caps for his country – he was definitely impressive at Euro 2008 – and has attracted interest from several European clubs like Malaga, Ajax and Milan recently. Semih was almost substutite during current seasonand gave a solid performance until with 7 goals and seven assissts, an efficiency ratio of a goal or assist every 49.6 minutes.

Turkish sports daily “NTVSpor” also confirmed this transfer rumour. According to NTVSpor which is Turkey’s biggest sport portal stated that Jamie Rednapp target Turkish Striker to strengthen their squad with consideration of Champions League and Premier League.

Before his contract expiration, this possible move can provide a big step for Semih Senturk in order to show his potential at European Football. I believe Tottenham Hotspur is close to gain a very talented player. From Fenerbahce’s supporters’ side, it can a big lose. However Semhi Senturk doesn’t deserve to be a substitute players, in contraire he deserve every big challenges such as Premier League field.

Homegrown Players Gökay Iravul & Okan Alkan: Best Transfers of the Season for Fenerbahçe

By: Deniz Kutsal | Comments Add Comments

Göaky Iravul Okan Alkan Fenerbahçe

Fenerbahçe couldn’t met his supporters’ expectations before season after failing in European Cups and loosing early local league matches. However thinks has been changed and whole team put a step forward to show their full potential under Aykut Kocaman management before mid season break.

fft20_mf976733Last Sunday, Yellow Canaries has past Karabükspor with two goals. Although they have a recent squad, Yellow Canaries has shown a great deal of midfield quality since three league matches.

The biggest effect was Gökay Iravul with his first eleven caps. He really played very well as a box-to-box midfielder. According to Captain Alex de Souza’s interview to montly Fenerbahce’s magazine, big teams have to challenge young players are a must to dominate their teamwork and team sprit. This is totally right that Fenerbahçe’s didn’t give much importance to their young players since many years, and nowadays supporters are getting proud with Okan Alkan and Gökay Iravul’s debuts.

okan alkanHope coach Aykut Kocaman insist on his confidence of young players such as Gökay and Okan. And i believe that will bring success to Fenerbahçe in a long term strategy.

For me it’s nice pleasure to watch Gökay Iravul’s skills instead of seeing Cristian Baroni. And Okan Alkan’s talent rather than Andre Santos’s unloyalty.

You can find out Alex de Souzas interview as below, and yes, it’s me at the picture next to Okan Alkan and Gökay Iravul (:

Alex de Souza: “Turkish football very advanced”
The captain Alex de Souza-intensive days filled with the 100s and 3000′lerle seized the opportunity to speak and then find a quiet environment. How much less gururlansa … Happiness is in your eyes … We are already at her side constantly embrace, weather, feelings are in a bounce. Such questions, even if the air inside was inconclusive. Nevertheless, the sentences that must pass before the date picked by Kaptan date.
Spots collected from the interview are as follows, you can find the interview … More derginizde
01: I do not have is an embarrassment to anyone. I’m doing my job, working and getting out of maçlarıma. Requests to move in line, sit out and play and I can not help me make decisions such as how long I will stay in the field. There is no problem between me and Hocamla.
02: Anatolian teams landing points of us, sadly, not to look positive development. Large parts of the measures to be taken for the condition. Great teams have strong positions. These positions are gradually stabilizing and eventually head to head matches with other teams’ rosters are emerging. Increased competition makes football more enjoyable.
03: Turkish football is one of the points more to the development of the new teams acquire players who participated. Their discovery, good directing, training us to do, and of course plenty of experience to gain a real need to take time for the official matches. This is Fenerbahce.
04: Gökay and Okan when they find chance in the game, showed how much they had good performance. Rely on them, showed how right they were. Wait for the chance to continue the work of other young oyucularımız. They are the future of Fenerbahçe. We should continue our support.”

Happy Holidays!

Lefter Küçükandonyadis Alex de Souza Fenerbahçe Bayramlaşma

(Fenerbahçe’s Captain Alex de Souza, 33 kissing Fenerbahçe’s legend player Lefter Küçükandonyadis,85 hand.)[Hand-kissing is a ritual of greeting and respect, is a common way to greet elder people in culture of Turkey]

It has been a while, sorry! We have had many more exciting football related experiences since my last post.

It was kind of sad to see Fenerbahce couldn’t achieve big matches after 4-1 away win against Konyaspor. Since that we wasn’t fantastic in high level matches like Bursaspor and Galatasaray. Both games has ended in a draw with results of 1-1 and 0-0 so then we missed a very important advantage alongside of title challengers Beşiktaş, Glaatasaray and Bursaspor’s poor league performance. As i warned before, our football skill wasn’t good enough to handle of pressure on the field.

This happy holidays eve is a good timing to find teamwork and team sprit. I think some players will leave Fenerbahçe nearby mid-season transfer window. This is inevitable after disappointing results! Coach Aykut Kocaman still has a chance to make a choice for current players which are the best and worst for Fenerbahçe. And i still insist that some home-grown players like Gökay Iravul, Hasan Erbey, Okan Alkan, Berk Elitez can give more than some experienced players like Cristian Baroni, Fabio Bilica, Kazım Richards who doesn’t deserve their current role at Fenerbahçe. I’m in favour of a dramatic squad revision. This isn’t a necessity for Yellow Canaries, this is a must! This is a dream to watch a model player like Fenerbahçe’s legend Lefter Küçükandonyadis or Can Bartu.

Thanks God we still have a chance to see Alex de Souza. And hope to make a step away as soon as possible. You know why? Cause this is time for dream. This is time for celebrate our national holiday.

Happy Holidays everyone..
