Çaykur Rizespor targets Alanyaspor victory amid squad rejuvenation

Çaykur Rizespor manager Recep Uçar has highlighted the club’s strategic shift toward a younger squad following recent transfer activities. Uçar noted that the team’s average age has dropped to approximately 25 to 25.5 years, a move intended to secure the club’s long-term future while remaining competitive in the Süper Lig.

Ahead of their upcoming match against Alanyaspor on Monday, September 7, at Çaykur Didi Stadium, Uçar emphasized the importance of securing a home victory. He acknowledged Alanyaspor as an organized opponent under manager Joao Pereira, noting their recent consistent performances.

Rizespor enters the fixture seeking its first home win of the season, having previously secured away victories against Konyaspor and Gaziantep FK, but suffering a loss to Samsunspor at home.
