Date: 5-8-2005
Wrote: EP's reporter in Turkey Alper Kocer

The opening game of the Turkish League sees Ayman Abdel-Aziz's Genclerbirligi face the champions Fenerbahce. The club launched a written statement indicating that they do not fear the giants.



"Fenerbahçe is one of the big candidates to win the title but we'll bring action to the league with our new transfers," reads the club statement.

In reference to the likes of El Saka, they added, "Some of our best players left the team but we transferred new players and increased our squad size."

It continued, "We have one of the best managers in Turkey (Ziya Dogan) so the match will be exciting.

"We lost last season's match because of referee mistakes. This season we hope there'll be less mistakes."

Ayman's club officials added, "As Gençlerbirligi directors we believe and trust in our manager and players. We know that we'll get 3 points in the first match of the season.


"In this important match we're waiting for our supporters at the 19 Mayis (stadium) to support our team."

The two sides have met 64 times, Fenerbahce winning 26 and Gencler winning in 12 of the encounters. The remaining 26 were ties.

Last season, this same game ended 2-1 to the visiting Fenerbahce, who also won at home by 3 goals to 2.

Ayman is home to Fener today (Friday) in the opening game of the season, with the remaining Egyptians playing in the weekend.
