12punto's sports writer candidate

I have been writing for 12punto for quite some time.

Although I usually write about technical subjects, I sometimes delve into political topics as well.

Even though I try to stay away from them as much as I can, risky topics do increase my adrenaline levels, so they are not entirely without their fun.

Of course, other writers handle these subjects much better than I do.

However, 12punto does not concern itself with sports.

Among dozens of writers, there is not at least one writing about football.

So, let me make an entry.

The Republic of Turkey is putting in efforts beyond its capacity in the field of sports.

Especially in the field of football.

Although we have collaborated with the Germans in every sector since the Ottoman era, our serious cooperation in the field of football began with the agreement Galatasaray made with Derval.

The fact that our military, commercial, and cultural ties with the Germans are extremely strong, for some reason, only began to reflect in the field of sports with a 200-year delay after the 1980s.

It is a good thing it started, so we could take our place in modern world football.

The foundations of our 2002 World Cup third-place finish were laid by the German sports figure Derval and Trabzonspor.

Modern football infrastructure was established thanks to Derval.

Personal materials and equipment produced based on science, such as the spiked boots that brought the Germans their first successes in athletics at the Olympics, entered Turkey with Derval.

Boots that gripped the grass better and turned friction to one's advantage arrived. 

The sensitivity of footballers' digestive systems was also learned from the Germans.

The only thing that was not adopted was the refereeing system.

Politicians, the federation, and Istanbul club executives who did not want to let go of their power deprived referees of a modern system so that they could influence the results of the matches.

Thus, referees have always remained looking at the eyes of the Istanbul football barons.

Just like a cat looking at liver.

Do not be fooled by the introduction of an application called VAR.

They made up a film for that too.

On the other hand, when communities and sects, which gained power depending on the world's conjuncture, got involved, the balance was completely lost.

In fact, a team that became champion with the support of a sect later fell to the lowest leagues.

This evening, the expected result will occur, and the champion will again be determined by external factors.

It will not be the technical and physical power on the field that is effective, but the games played behind closed doors.

As a Trabzonspor fan, Trabzonspor, which has been the most victimized by this manipulation, might perhaps slip through and reach the cup.
