Noah Saviolo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A row about effort at Trabzonspor
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Fabinho was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Wagner Pina in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Trabzonspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Trabzonspor promote Volkan Aktorkoglu from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Volkan Aktorkoglu has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Burak Ozdemir joins the Trabzonspor first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Burak Ozdemir is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Appearance number 100 for Mathias Fjørtoft Løvik
100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Galatasaray end the Trabzonspor run at 4
Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 4 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Sidny Lopes Cabral takes the honours
Marked 7.58 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Trabzonspor had the best player on the pitch.

Half-satisfied: Emre Bayindir on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
In brief
- Looking ahead Trabzonspor take on the side everybody is chasing
- Market The Franculino talk will not go away
- Match No goals between Trabzonspor and Galatasaray
