Ridge Looks Munsy from the window of his apartment, he sees a white mountain summit. “Swiss standards,” he says. The 29-Year-old came to Erzurum, two hours flight from the Turkish city of Istanbul, at 2000 meters, with 800’000 inhabitants is the largest city in Eastern Anatolia.

Erzurum is not a place out of the travel brochure, “quite beautiful”, as the powerful striker. The same is true for Aue, where he lived in the spring. “I am one who can adapt quickly,” says Munsy, the football to the nomads.

In Aue the club managers received him with the urgent recommendation to avoid certain places in the dark, in the Saxon town made right-wing extremists, wide. Munsy, whose parents are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, took the advice to heart, was cautious, but not intimidated. About his time in Germany, he knows to report anything Bad.

the Fink project was planned without him

16 matches he played in the second round in the 2. Bundesliga, Erzgebirge, for the first time since the beginning of time at GC, he was set. However, the two goals that he scored were not enough as a reference for a permanent position. So it was after 6 months of back packing, moving, back to Zurich, where he had to quickly realize that even the new coach Thorsten Fink’s plans with him. “The thing with GC has not developed the way I thought to myself,” says Munsy.

For Munsy, the journey of a tuna from continued over GC, and Aue to the Club with the tongue-breaking name Büyüksehir Belediye Erzurumspor. As the Turks rose in the summer and a striker were looking for, said he: to not lose Why much he had. And what he saw pleased him. The Team bigger coached on a modern Campus, such as GC, only. Each player has his own room. “You taking good care of us, I have to bend a Finger,” says Munsy.

Four of the assistant coach are the Coach, coaching staff, Turkish is spoken, an interpreter is always. With Munsy Bosnians, Brazilians, Ivorians, Germans and Russians play, it’s a small world selection, which has gathered the climber. Many of them live in the same Block as Munsy. “I want to do something, I can knock on the door next door,” he says.

And then the games in the distant Istanbul, against Galatasaray, Besiktas, or – as in this coming Monday – at Fenerbahçe.
