Aiming to establish herself in sports marketing, Amel hopes to connect with her Turkish roots and navigate the fast-paced world of professional football.

However, her path becomes complicated when she crosses paths with Barış Alper Yılmaz, a talented and self-assured 24-year-old footballer whose fame has made him a target of both admiration and criticism. While Amel recognizes Barış from the Europe Cup League and finds him undeniably attractive, she grapples with her dislike for his overhyped ego.

As Amel strives to prove herself in a challenging work environment, she faces cultural barriers, personal insecurities, and the harsh realities of being a foreigner in a demanding industry. Amidst awkward interviews and unanticipated connections, a tense encounter with Barış reveals deeper layers beneath his bravado, challenging Amel's preconceived notions.

Through unexpected friendships, late-night coffees, and moments of vulnerability, Amel discovers the complexities of love, ambition, and self-acceptance. Will she be able to break through Barış's tough exterior and uncover the man beneath the star athlete, or will their contrasting worlds keep them apart?

"The first goal" is a captivating romance that explores the intersection of ambition and emotion, set against the backdrop of a bustling city where dreams and desires collide.

Weimar: The City Where Our Love Began by AilevAilev
4 parts Ongoing
Danyel Arriaga had a destiny. To be a football star. To shine on the field, win titles, make history. But life kicked him in the ass and sent him straight to Weimar, Germany. Now he's stuck in a city where everything is gray, the language sounds like people are fighting with their own tongues, and the sun seems to have given up on existing. And as if his life wasn't miserable enough, his university scholarship forces him to do something even worse than socializing: Coach a team of little kids. Annoying kids. Smelly kids. Kids who can't even run without tripping over themselves and, somehow, are the worst team in the entire junior league. He used to be fire. Now, he's ice. Cold, distant, dry-just as frozen as the German winter. He's not interested in making friends. He's not interested in socializing. And he's definitely not interested in teaching football to a bunch of brats who confuse a free kick with a penalty. And then, she shows up. Lena. Complicated. Intense. With eyes that seem to see right through him and hair that, for some reason, drives him insane. He met her on the plane to Germany. An embarrassing moment for her. Amusing for everyone else. Unforgettable for him. Because for the first time in a long time, his heart-the one he thought was dead-beat again. He never would have noticed her. He never would have paid attention to someone like her. He never would have imagined she'd be the only one capable of breaking through his ice. But destiny doesn't make mistakes. No matter how much he fights it, how much he denies it, how much he tries to convince himself otherwise... He was always meant to end up in Weimar. He was always meant to end up with her.
