The summer break has come to an end, and so also for
Türkiyemspor. Three teams from
Türkiyemspor started their league games now and rarely has a blue and white
season started so successfully. Four games, four wins make for a good
mood.
For the 2017-18 season, Türkiyem started
with a total of 28 teams from the U7 to the U40. While the youth teams do not
have to start until the end of the summer holidays in September, the men´s teams, first, second and third, have already
finished their season opening.
DOUBLE VICTORY FROM THE GETGO
The third men´s team kicked off the
season last weekend. The team, made up mainly of refugees from Afghanistan, is
now playing in Kreisklasse C after last season in Kreisklasse B. The first game
of the season was an away game won against Hertha 03 (IV) with a score of 1:0 –
and that goal was scored by the hosts themselves. Lars Henkel of Hertha 03
delivered Türkiyemspor the first win of the season. Türkiyemspor (III) can also
score their own goals, as they proved a week later, with four goals against TSV
Mariendorf (III), winning the game 4:1 and giving them a season start with 6
points, 5:1 goals and 4th place.
Whether the blue and whites can continue
this trend will be seen this weekend when Türkiyem receives the current table
leader, SFC Friedrichshain (IV). The game will be played on the square at
Blücherstrasse on Sunday, August 27 at 14:30.

SECOND SHOOTS FIVE
Türkiyemspor´s second men´s team also got
off to a good start in their season
opening. The first mandatory game of the year came with a clear victory over FC
Treptow, ending at 5:2. The game started off with a goal for the opponents,
followed by Cihan (2), Marten and Taşkın (2) for Türkiyemspor. There will be no game for
the second team for two weeks. And then instead of a normal league game comes
the 1st round of the Berlin cup. That match will take place on September
3 at 12 noon in Blücherplatz. The opponent is SC Borsigwalde (II).
MROSKO EFFECT
The men's team of Türkiyemspor are playing
in the Landes league in the 2017-18 season, after they missed their chance to
reach the higher Berlin league in the final days of the last season. This
season Türkiyemspor has a completely different face. New coaches, Lars Mrosko
and co-coach Selcuk Birgin, formed a team that reminds us of the Türkiyemspor
spirit of the past. Some players from recent years, struggling for the club
during the difficult period of bankruptcy, also received a number of new signings.
Now a true Berlin mixture is wearing the blue and white instead of a
"Turkish" selection. Four players joined the team with coach Mrosko
from FC Internationale: Shane Keil, Anselm Stüker, Jannick Hempowicz and Marten
Weinitschke. There are also Ammar Al Abdah and Samer Awad from Normania 08 as
well as Abdul Mumeen (Spandau 06), Khaled Srese (Gatow), Abulfailu Abubakar
(BJK Berlin), Bekai Jagne (SSC Teutonia), Marino Stawrakakis (Marienfelde) and
Ali Nazem of Altglienicke. And completely new: with Moritz Schmidt and Hendrik
Lüttschwager, two players from the second men´s team of Türkiyemspor have
advanced to the first team for the first time in the club's history.
As luck would have it, the first game
was against Mrosko’s old team, a team he obviously knows well. And the coach had the right of it,
even if Internationale came back from 2:0 to score at tie in the first half. Türkiyemspor
turned things back around in the second half, winning the game. The substitution
of Moritz for Beyazit at half time then turned out to be the decisive move,
with Moritz scoring the final goal at the 60th minute to take the
blue and whites to a the 3:2 victory.
At Kreuzberg one now hopes for the
Lienen effect, because Mrosko is known not only for his football experience,
but also as a critical thinker, who can
point out the weaknesses of the game. His philosophy, which makes another
football possible, fits Kreuzberg and Türkiyemspor. Whether or not the Mrosko
effect can continue will be seen on match day 2 on Sunday, August 27 at
Concordia Wittenau. The kick-off is at 12:30pm in the stadium Wittenau, Göschenstr. 9-28, 13437 Berlin, Germany

Women's team: Still in preparation
The women of Türkiyemspor are still in
the pre-season practice. The first mandatory game for Türkiyemspor’s top league
team - 4th class - is on September 2. Observers will have a
chance to see the women’s team’s performance earlier though, in a friendly
match against Hansa 07, on Sunday, August 27 at 2:00pm at Blücherplatz.
