What happened in Turkish football today? 30/07/2020

Trabzonspor provided its best performance on Turkish Cup final following Covid19 break.

Trabzonspor has provided probably its best performance since restart of the season following Covid19 break, in one of the most important games of season, without providing positive and highly organised performance at whole feed against Alanyaspor during Turkish Cup final.

It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor provided pretty strong attacking game during 1st half with getting into front from 1st minute of the game with Alexandr Sorloth and Abdurakadir Omur from start of the game providing high level performance with getting into high amount of the attacks which led for both players to score 2 goals with Sorloth providing great assist in 1st goal. However, and probably more importantly Trabzonspor provided very strong and confident defensive game and even through still allowed Alanyaspor to get some chances, in overall provided full focus. Trabzonspor caretaker coach Eddie Newton has got title during his 2nd game and needs to be mentioned that did provide very good performance prior to game and also during final itself with making very right decisions during game.

Hence, Trabzonspor without doubt has been better side during this final game and did get well deserved result with ending season with one cup even through it aimed for double.

Trabzonspor showed high level performance during Turkish Cup campaign.

It needs to be noted here that Trabzonspor did have in overall good performance in the Turkish Cup road with providing pretty confident performance in whole tournament not having too much issues.

Especially prior to Covid 19 break, Trabzonspor been highly motivated to compete this season with double which without doubt did affect quite positively into its own performance during Turkish Cup tournament providing strong and confident performance with attackers being always focussed. In fact, its campaign at Turkish Cup including semi-final tie against Trabzonspor did lead them to be more calmer compare to Super League. Sadly, with having such good performance for most part of the season,it found out that CAS has declined its complaint regarding lifting 1-year ban from UEFA which even through been done by administration mistakes, and hence does pay their price it would be pretty unfair for players effort during this season.

Trabzonspor still did provide very good performance at Turkish Cup and got without doubt highly deserved title from most part good season.

Alanyaspor didnt provide agressive attacking game against Trabzonspor

Alanyaspor on their part didnt provide attacking performance which was expected from them prior to game with referring how side performed during whole season but this could be related from nervousness from playing its 1st final in its history.

Alanyaspor did provide some good organised performance and did have some strong attacking moments during 2nd half so its hard to state that side been poor on the final game but their did lack that pushing factor and didnt provide much agressive attacking game especially during 1st half which to some extend went into hand for Trabzonspor especially after getting ahead of the game. Alanyaspor head coach Erol Bulut, who is expected to be joining Fenerbahce, at short period of time does provide great performance in mediocre sides but sadly still didnt win Turkish Cup final game, as he did good opportunity to do also last season. Stating that it needs to be remembered that during both games his opponents did have good season. Still, despite of losing this game Alanyaspor did have great season providing positive football and even enjoyed leadership in league and would enjoy European football next season.

Alanyaspor also being among sides which didnt have great return to football after Covid19 break and this factor did play role here for sure too.
