Super Lig Clubs Press Ertuğrul Doğan to Keep ‘Vine’ System

Manager Ertuğrul Doğan has drawn attention this season with his ‘vine’ formation, which has troubled opposition defenses and boosted possession for his side. Across the Turkish Super Lig, clubs are urging Doğan to keep the system unchanged.

Some officials argue the vine increases game tempo and aids the development of young talent, while critics warn it may become one‑dimensional and limit tactical variety. This pressure could reshape the league’s tactical landscape overall.
