Trabzonspor wins its 9th Turkish Cup title by beating Alanyaspor.
Trabzonspor wins its 9th Turkish Cup title with beating Alanyaspor with 2:0 scoreline providing much more organised performance compare to their opponents and also managed not to concede goal which tend to be one of its biggest issue during this season and this taking account that Alanyaspor did provide pretty strong attacking chances.
With Trabzonspor aiming to win Super League during this season,it was aiming to win Turkish Cup to provide some forgiveness of its losing league title and it needs to be admitted that Trabzonspor did provide very good preparation for game which led for them to provide strong organised performance during both in the attack and defence style. Most important it didnt look like side been too much affected from losing title in sense of losing concentration which been mentioned on previous blog entry. It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor provided pretty strong attacking game with Alexandr Sorloth providing very good performance as usual with providing much better attacking game but its been important how it would be performing during 2nd half with having issues to be controlling game and even through Alanyaspor did provide some important chances, Trabzonspor did mention to prevent Alanyaspor to score goal where Ugurcan Cakir in goal did play an important role and has deserved to win this Turkish Cup when looking how it performed during whole season also.
On other side, either due of too much pressure from playing its first final game on its history and hence feeling nervous, Alanyaspor didnt provide as good performance as would be expected from them but it needs to be noted that following Covid 19 break it also been side which didnt get into high level performance which it did show prior to it in the league and this could been affected with their performance. It needs to be noted that with scoreline with 1:0, Alanyaspor did provide much more attacking game but it did let them to provide advantage to opponent which did figure out how to play against their opponents. It needs to be noted that to some extend it did look lack of concentration during 1st half with providing much more panic and uncontrollable game. Meanwhile, it needs to be added that Alanyaspor head coach Erol Bulut who has provided positive game unfortunately did lose final for back-to-back but him being on finals back-to-back and ending leagues at Europa League spot provides how potential he has.
Trabzonspor without doubt did compete season with winning Turkish Cup which been good opportunity to make themselves forgiven for losing title and did provide its best performance following Covid 19 break.
Super League would be moving to 18 to 20 sides league, with next season being connecting season.
TFF following requests from Club's Union and also meeting it had with Sports and Youth Minister Muharrem Kasapoglu, it has made an important historical decision to raise number of sides for next season to 21 sides, which would be dropped to 20.
As been noted in our previous posts, on this matter timing itself has been done in right manner since if this decision would been made before leagues been resumed due of Covid19 then it would be raising possibilities of match-fixing decision. In addition, such decision didnt take away effort which was provided by lower league side to give fight to be raised into top league. Only issue which this decision could have is connected to scheduling as it would be meaning that one side would be not being one week and could provide some issues in upcoming weeks especially when coming to final weeks. But this would be temporary decision and needs to be taken understanding. In fact, apart of this decision main reason is related to Covid 19 circumstances it would have to sides which been relegated, upcoming season should be seen as connecting season from 18 sides to 20. Neutrally, this naturally would mean 4 extra games for each side which could be good news for Turkish football followers.
This decision could either provide rise of effort for Turkish football or have negative impact but this is being very important decision and possibly most important one not connected to Covid19 from TFF.
Foreign players limit will not go into effect next season
Another important decision which been made following again with Club's Union request and been discussed with Kasapoglu has been to not have in effect foreign players limit with sides stating that it would be difficult for them to make into effect.
It is important to be reminded that this decision does also have Covid19 period role as clubs would be having issues to go through changes due of financial issues and could have issues with selling its foreign players. Still, with rule going into effect after next season, at least with current decision, club's would need to provide similar transfer politics more pretending that it still exists. Hence, it needs to transfer amount of foreign players with taking account that it would need to reduce its squad to 14 players next season with 7 being on the field or otherwise similar issues would be discussed next year and it is unlikely that TFF would be cancelling this decision again. Therefore, sides can take huge relief due of this decision but need to provide transfers with planning also 2021/22 season for sure.
This decision would take away stress especially when selling current foreign players but it doesnt mean for sure that it can continue transfers like there will never be limit.
