"A single disadvantage I can display"
Davie Selke, the former Hamburg SV (HSV) striker, has embarked on a new chapter of his life in Istanbul, Turkey. After a fruitful year with HSV, Selke and his family have moved to the bustling city with a population of 16 million people.
Selke's last year with HSV brought him closer to his teammates, and despite the move, he maintains contact with them. He has already spoken to some of his HSV teammates on the phone, wishing them the best for the upcoming season.
In a bid to share their experiences in their new life, Selke and his wife Evelyn have started a YouTube channel called "The Selkes." On this platform, they provide private insights into their life in Istanbul, answering viewers' questions and documenting their daily life.
The family has already found a new apartment in Istanbul, but Selke admits that traffic is a disadvantage of living in the city. He also misses the Volkspark Stadium and some restaurants and cafes in Hamburg. However, Selke and his family consider Hamburg as their new number one city in Germany, except for the weather.
Davie Selke could play internationally with Basaksehir in the new season. If successful, Basaksehir would have to win two playoff games to enter the group stage of the Conference League. The return leg of the Conference League qualifying round for Basaksehir takes place on Wednesday in Istanbul.
Before the home and away games, Selke plans to share his experiences on YouTube, offering fans a glimpse into his life in Turkey. The next opponents for Basaksehir, if the return match against Viking IF is successful, could be Spartak Trnava or Universitatea Craiova.
Despite the move, Selke was the top scorer and big promotion hero for his previous team in Hamburg. His wish for a long-term contract extension with HSV remained unfulfilled, but he looks forward to new challenges in Istanbul. The weather in Istanbul is reported to be great every day, which is a welcome change from Hamburg's climate.
