Ertuğrul Taşkıran

Mahmut Ertuğrul Taşkıran, the seasoned custodian for Alanyaspor, continues to defy age with his commanding presence between the sticks. At 35, his experience is invaluable, though the available data metrics don’t quite capture the intricacies of a goalkeeper’s craft. What we do know is that Taşkıran’s style of play is marked by his shot-stopping prowess and positional awareness, which have been the bedrock of Alanyaspor’s defensive setup. While the numbers may not paint a full picture, his leadership and ability to organise the defence are crucial assets that often go unnoticed in player stats. However, as with many in the twilight of their careers, agility and reflexes might wane slightly, posing challenges against pacey, dynamic offences. Still, his wealth of experience and tactical intelligence make him a formidable last line of defence in the Super Lig.
