Sergen Yalçın commented on Galatasaray's victory against Trabzonspor on Ekol TV.
Claiming that Okan Buruk gave harsh warnings to his players during halftime, Sergen Yalçın said, "Because there was a complacent Galatasaray in the first half. In the second half, they didn't let their opponent out of their own half and won without difficulty."
Drawing attention to Galatasaray's squad stability, Yalçın stated, "Because they have an established squad. Even if Osimhen leaves, Galatasaray will get a new one. Galatasaray finds good strikers. If you research well and pay good money, there are players available."
'DON'T SETTLE FOR WHAT'S READY'
Upon Candaş Tolga Işık's question, "Why couldn't Fenerbahçe find one then?", Sergen Yalçın replied, "Let me give you 5 names right away. If they are so curious, I can give them 5 names from Europe immediately. Not 1, but 5. It's not difficult. Just do the research. There are very important strikers in Europe; there are those who couldn't hold on like Osimhen, and there are young ones who want to make a breakthrough. As long as you research, don't just settle for what's ready."
Finally, Sergen Yalçın also made assessments about Barış Alper Yılmaz, concluding his commentary with the words, "I don't think Barış Alper is below average. I think this is his average and he has been very useful to Galatasaray for 2 years. That's why he is very successful. If Barış Alper is playing at a 7-8 out of 10, that's a great job."
