Trabzon suffer surprising loss:

Trabzon have been in a good form lately. They managed to win important games in the past weeks and Ayman helped the side with his solid performances and latest goal.

However, on Friday, Trabzon faced Konyaspor who suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of El Saka's club Gencler by six goals to one. The game ended in a 1-0 loss for Ayamn's side as Da Silva scored an early goal in the 3rd minute and Trabzon failed to come back into the game.

Ayman played the full match and was rated as the best player for Trabzon together with the striker Yattara. However, the job wasn't easy to get back into the game as Trabzon had to play with one man down after the sending off of the Turkish international player Gökdeniz in the 66th minute.

Trabzonspor: Tolga x, Serkan xx, Çag(das, xx, Tayfun x, Hüseyin xx, Ayman xxx, Ferhat x (min. 75 Baris, xx), Mustafa Keçeli xx, Gökdeniz xx, Yattara xxx, Umut xx.

Ayman Integral part in Yanal plans:

Ayman started in almost every match since the arrival of Turkish coach Ersun Yanal.

The coach Ersun Yanal, has been trying to adapt his own offensive playing style. Since he arrived at Trabzonspor, he has been complaining about that the defence. However, with the signing of Egyptian player Sayed Moawad, he is planning to form a balanced strong team.

Yanal wants the two central midfielders Serkan and Ayman to contribute to attacks much more; and he changed the system from 4-4-2 to 4-3-2-1.

With the change of Ayman's role, the Egyptian now can go forward more often and play more offensively. This lead to his first goal of the season which was given the award of goal of the month in Turkey.


it should be noted that Ayman is known for his consistent play in Turkey but the Egyptian is also often criticized for not being a team player and for his rough playing style.

However, under Yanal, Ayman became of more benefit to the team as he now holds the ball less often and contributes alot more in attack.

Moawad happy at Trabzon despite not to playing:

The other Egyptian at Trabzon, Sayed Moawad is yet to make his debut. Despite this, Sayed told the Turkish press yesterday that he is adapting to lifestyle and playstyle in Turkey quickly and although, he doesn't play, he is happy at Trabzon and says he will wait for his chance.

“The conditions here are excellent and better than I expected. I couldn't play yet but I think I amadapting quick and can say that I want to stay here next season".

"I understand I am a new player in a new league, Language difference u is the most difficult part for me but Ayman is helping me with that. I respect the coach decision and will wait for my chance to get into the team". He added.
