While 27 weeks have passed in the Trendyol Super League, Trabzonspor had 18 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats in the said matches. The claret-blue team, who scored 53 goals and conceded 29 goals in these matches, maintains its 3rd place with 60 points and continues its pursuit of the top. Finally, the Black Sea team, which gained morale before the international break by defeating Eyüpspor 1-0 away, also gives confidence to the team with the performance of the “shooting and holding” names before the critical match against the leader Galatasaray.
BALANCE IN OFFENSE AND DEFENSE
While the scoring contribution of the players on the offensive line of the claret-blue team was one of the team’s most important trump cards in the race for the top, the consistent performance of the defensive line and goalkeeper Onana also attracted attention. Trabzonspor, which is among the most productive teams in the league with 53 goals scored, did not lose its defensive discipline with 29 goals conceded. While the form chart of Trabzonspor’s “scoring” and “holding” players increased, this played a decisive role in the points scored by the team.
ONUACHU CARRIES THE BURDEN OF GOALS
Paul Onuachu, Trabzonspor’s top scorer, became one of the team’s most important trump cards in attack with 21 goals and 2 assists. The striker, who stands out with his physical strength, air dominance and effectiveness in the penalty area, is seen as the biggest weapon of the claret-blue team in the race for the top. Augusto and Muçi also stood out with their goals and assist contributions.
HE GAVE HER CONFIDENCE
Andre Onana, who had a period of ups and downs in the first period when he took over the goal, became one of the most reliable names of the team with his performance in recent weeks. The Cameroonian goalkeeper attracted attention with his save rate of over 70 percent.
The experienced glove, who stands out with his reflexes, correct positioning and saves he made especially at critical moments, had a direct share in Trabzonspor’s points. Onana, who kept a clean sheet in the last two weeks, kept a clean sheet in 6 matches across the league.
Andre Onana, who continued his rise with his performance in the second half of the season, conceded only 8 goals in 10 matches he played.
