It was a private party with many guests, and they were right there, Kubilay Türkyilmaz, and Nestor Subiat. They are friends since they played together in the case of GC, more than twenty years ago. Türkyilmaz, with roots in Istanbul, grew up in Semine, a neighborhood in Bellinzona, two nationalities; Subiat, who was born in Buenos Aires, grew up in the Alsace region, for a long time in Switzerland, three nationalities. Subiat talked a lot that evening, and told, and told and laughed, Türkyilmaz stand mostly sideways, with a slight melancholy in his face, as he stood earlier, sometimes on the lawn just around, seemingly absent.
I checked what adjectives I need to describe to the player Kubilay Türkyilmaz earlier sometimes. Capricious. Proud of. Distant. Offended. Self-willed. Of a diva. Moody. Grim. Sly. Arrogant. Grumpy. Offended. Rebellious.
The one like him, and others find it impossible. Also the was written. I liked him very much, “A tear for a withered Rose” was my title, as he left GC. I found him but sometimes impossible.
a Few days after I read the book “Kubi Goal,” written by the Ticino writer and Director Flavio Stroppini, Türkyilmaz’ life in 83 chapters, it is less a biography than a wonderfully written story.

We know how Türkyilmaz as a child, cherries had been stolen and the police had fled. The nerd was with the unpronounceable name. The Turk. The shoes are laced with 48, again, to play for his Club, AC Bellinzona, the bankruptcy was gone. And then said, now he’s finally arrived where he was going. He had managed to be at home a Local. The said soccer is a theatre, and you have to be careful not to bring his role to life.
we Have done Kubilay Türkyilmaz wrong? I asked the to him that bade him to the Feast, and one of his best friends. No, he says, everything meet. And he lists other adjectives, such as Kubi. Warm-hearted. A spirit of solidarity. Generous. Steadfast. Funny. Loyal.
A beautiful book has helped to identify Türkyilmaz better. Why he is the way he is. “I’m only a few friends know,” he had said at the time, as we saw mostly its a page.
