Player career

society

Çolak started his club football career at the most famous football club in his home province of Kocaeli , at Kocaelispor . In 1993 he was discovered here for the Turkish U-18 national team. A year later he was appointed to the professional team with a professional contract. He made his professional debut on October 2, 1994 in the first division game against Zeytinburnuspor . After this encounter, he became an integral part of his team and completed 18 first division matches by the end of the season. After he received only 14 games the next season, he was used regularly in the 1996/97 season under Mustafa Denizli . After Denizli was replaced by Holger Osieck after seven match days , Çolak immediately conquered a regular place under the new coach. He managed to jump into the starting eleven right away. The 1996/97 season they finished 7th in the league, but reached the final in the Turkish Football Cup for the first time in the club's history. In the cup final, which was played back and forth at the time, the first away game ended 1: 1 against Trabzonspor . The second leg in front of a home crowd was won 1-0 by Çolak's goal and achieved the first cup win in the club's history. Çolak had made a significant contribution to reaching the finals and winning the cup with his services. From then on, Çolak was one of the club's most important players and was linked several times with the three major Istanbul clubs Beşiktaş , Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray , although a change did not materialize. In the 1998/99 season Güvenç Kurtar took over the coaching position at Kocaelispor. Under this coach, who was also one of the discoverers Çolaks, they reached 5th place in the table at the end of the season and repeated the second-best placement in the club's history. After this success they only finished 12th in the table at the end of the next season and fell short of expectations. After the start of the 2000/01 season failed under Kurtar , Kocaelispor changed coaches twice until the winter break. In mid-December 2000, the Turkish-German Hikmet Karaman took over the team and looked after it for the next two years. Under Karaman, Çolak played continuously and made it into the Turkish national soccer team . Although they stayed in the league rather in the midfield, they reached the final of the 2001/02 Turkish Cup for the second time in the club's history. In the final they met Beşiktaş Istanbul , supervised by German coach Christoph Daum . Kocaelispor won the game 4-0 and won the Turkish Football Cup for the second time in the club's history. Kocaelispor got off to a disappointing start into the next season, so they parted ways with coach Karaman. The following coaches could not stop the downward trend of the club, so after eleven years of membership in the first division, the relegation to the TFF 1. Lig followed in the summer of 2003 .

After relegation Kocaelispors in the summer of 2003 in the second Turkish division, Çolak left the club and moved to the first division club Gaziantepspor . At his new club he quickly found his starting line, but lost it over the course of the season and did not play at all from February until the end of the season. The team ended the season in fourth place in the table and reached the second-best first division placement in the club's history. Çolak also started the new season at Gaziantepspor, but only played one cup match until the winter break.

For the second half of the 2004/05 season he was loaned to his old club Kocaelispor and moved to this club at the end of the season, including a transfer fee. In the 2005/06 season, Çolak only spent the first half of the season at Kocaelispor and moved to the second half of the season for fourth division Etimesgut Şekerspor . At this club a patron had bought himself who wanted to achieve promotion to the highest Turkish league by signing experienced players. At the end of the season, the championship of the TFF 3rd Lig and thus the promotion to the TFF 2nd Lig succeeded . For the new season, the club's management continued to invest in the team and signed such stars as Ahmet Yıldırım , Sergen Yalçın , Ahmet Dursun and Evren Turhan . After the promotion to the TFF 1. Lig failed at the end of the season , the club's management gave up the club and sold the stars. Çolak left the club in spring 2008 and moved to the third division Bozüyükspor . Here he played until the end of the season and then ended his active football career.

National team

Çolak started his national team career in 1993 in the Turkish U-18 national team. A year later he played for the Turkish U-21 national team and played for them a total of six times over the next three years.

Çolak was nominated on the occasion of the participation in the Mediterranean Games in 1997 in the squad of the Turkish Olympic team. In this tournament they made it to the final and were eliminated here with a 1: 5 defeat against the Olympic team of Italy. The tournament ended there as a silver medalist. Çolak was used in all of his team's games.

Due to his shown performances at Kocaelispor , Çolak was nominated by the then national coach Şenol Güneş in a friendly against Albania in the squad of the Turkish national team . In this game on April 25, 2001, he made his international debut.
