After criticism from the Turkish board

Turkish association board member Hamit Altıntop rejected Stefan Kuntz’s criticism of his dismissal in September. In an interview with ‘t-online’, the former Bundesliga professional explained that they parted ways with the 61-year-old because they wanted ‘a change’ so they could take the next step . We communicated this to him openly.

Kuntz was fired two months ago after two years in office, despite averaging 1.95 points in 20 games. On Friday, he criticized the association’s management: “The board of directors who signed me was no longer there after a year. The next president served for one year before being elected for four more years. I had the feeling that he did not want to succeed with the coach of the previous committee, that is to say me, but that he preferred to present his own coach. In the nuances it was clear to me that this would not last long. Whether it was loyalty, support or respect, I had no support. Then I realized that my tenure as Turkish national coach was coming to an end. And this regardless of sporting success.

Altintop confirmed that with the new leadership of the association, « expectations had developed in a different direction », but at the same time, the last matches under Kuntz were no longer satisfactory. So much so that “as a member of the board of directors, I had to say: we need a little more courage, a new impetus.” After a 1-1 draw against Armenia in European Championship qualifying and a 2-4 friendly defeat against Japan, Kuntz had to leave and Vincenzo Montella took over.

These criticisms surprised Altintop. “He left a team intact, he gets credit for that, and he was told the same thing. But we also explained to him that our expectations have changed and that we need to make a change with a change of coach.

Lionel Messi spends a sales evening on Thursday at the Monumental Stadium. Firstly because of the defeat conceded by his team against Uruguay. While they had won all their matches since their triumph at the World Cup in Qatar, achieving seven successes without conceding a single goal, Lionel Scaloni’s men in fact lost 2-0 against their neighbors, who ‘had won the most in Argentina for 36 years.

“It was a difficult match. They played with great intensity. We never felt comfortable and we could never find a way to have long possessions. It’s a very physical team,” he confided after the meeting.

As is often the case, the clash between the two rivals was particularly heated. This is evidenced by the clash between Manuel Ugarte and Rodrigo de Paul. Often present as Lionel Messi’s bodyguard, the Argentine midfielder actually saw the PSG player throw him “Messi’s successor” by matching action with words. An attitude that does not belong to the recent Ballon d’Or. “It’s normal for these kinds of matches, the qualifiers… Against Uruguay, it’s always like that. I prefer not to pay as much as I do,” confided the former Barcelona player, adding: “Young people must respect elders. This course is very intense, major, but also very beautiful in terms of respect. They need to learn a little.”

Striker Victor Osimhen discusses his future at Napoli, the offers he received this summer and his preferred destination.

The Nigerian child is inspired by his compatriot John Obi Mikel, former Chelsea midfielder, mostly retired, available in the Arab world: “I have to be honest, I never considered leaving, especially since Napoli wanted me to stay. But when the offer from Saudi Arabia came, it was hard to refuse. Every time I said no, they increased their offer, again and again. “It’s a summer that can come back to life, but it’s definitive, I don’t say anything, I rest where I am”.

Osimhen opens the door to two clubs

The Nigerian, in individual form with 6 goals in 10 matches, while Naples dismissed coach Rudi Garcia for hire Walter Mazzarri, a preference for a champion and two teams: “If you have a preferred team, you can have two jerseys: Chelsea and Manchester United. It was a great blow for our friends who are fans of Chelsea and a month of United. “The Premier League is the champion of the most popular and most followed for all African (Site notre bureau spécialisé)ers”.

Victor Osimhen is open to the idea of ​​signing for Chelsea.

This statement is based on the interest of Chelsea, who are in the Premier League (10th), and that Manchester United recently signed the young Dane, 20 years old, Rasmus Hojlund, for 75 million euros for the first time, notably thus the chances of a transfer for Victor Osimhen.

Naples, « it’s crazy ! »

The Nigerian international, who has 28 caps, is under contract with Naples until 2025 and is not unhappy in the Italian city, perhaps sometimes encountering difficulties off the field: “I can’t walk around the center of Naples and I can’t even visit the Maradona fresco, but when I go to eat pizza, they don’t charge me and they thank me for what I do for the city: it’s incredible !

If we open the door to the Premier League, clubs are interested in spending a nice silver medal, the president of the Italian club, Aurelio de Laurentiis, is ready to refuse astronomical offers.

…better and better!

The 1956 GDR Oberliga season is now available in the (Site notre blog d’information) database. It was the first time during the calendar year to be played according to the Soviet model and set up a close duel for the title. From the 11th day, only one point separated SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt (today Erzgebirge Aue) from SC Lokomotive Leipzig (formerly Sachsen Leipzig).

The highlight was the best match played on matchday 13 (0-0), after the opponents not only had the same number of points, but also exactly the same number of goals and goals conceded at 24:13 and direct comparison also showed no leader. The entire second half of the season was a similar picture. Aue and Leipzig battled it out by changing leaders until with one day remaining Wismut’s lead increased to two points for the first time. The two teams met in the season finale and Leipzig still had the opportunity to become champions. However, thanks to Willy Tröger’s decisive goal, Wismut won 1-0 and celebrated the GDR championship and thus the third title in a row after the cup and the special round. With this triumph, the club was also supposed to be the first representative to represent the GDR internationally in the new European Cup.

It was also the season in which the championship match with the most spectators took place on German soil. On September 9, 1956, SC Rotation Leipzig (today Lokomotive Leipzig) and SC Lok Leipzig (formerly Sachsen Leipzig) faced each other in the municipal derby. 105,000 spectators witnessed the Rotation’s narrow 2-1 victory in what was then the Leipzig Central Stadium. An unrivaled record to date.

GDR Oberliga 1956: Notable newcomer – Dynamo with a serious mistake

Both newcomers put in impressive performances that year. While Progress Weißenfels (today SSC Weißenfels) never had anything to do with relegation and finished in a respectable tenth place, GDR Oberliga founding member Lok Stendal took a solid fourth place, mainly thanks to Ernst Lindner, top scorer with 18 goals.

How quickly the quality of the game could change in this era was demonstrated by both SC Turbine Erfurt (today Rot-Weiß), who held the championship trophy in 1954 and 1955 and narrowly avoided the relegation to 12th place in 1956, as well as by the two relegated. teams. Last in the standings was SC Empor Rostock (today Hansa), second in the special round, one place ahead of Dynamo Berlin (today BFC Dynamo).

Dynamo made a serious mistake on the last day of the match. The Berliners won the home match against Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt (today Chemnitzer FC) 2-1, after which SCM Karl-Marx-Stadt should have moved to league two, but they used Dieter Legler, a (Site notre bureau spécialisé)er who was not eligible. play one, which led to a 0-2 score and relegation.

The 6th edition of the FDGB Cup was won for the second time by a second division team, SC Chemie Halle-Leuna (today Hallescher FC), after Vorwärts Berlin in 1954. The Halle team won imposed in the final against ZSK Vorwärts Berlin (today 1. FC Frankfurt (U)) with 2:1. They again beat last year’s champion, SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, 2-0 in the semi-final.
