In the 6th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Trabzonspor defeated Galatasaray 4-0 on their home turf. The burgundy-blues secured the result with three goals from Mohamed Salah and one from Noah Saviolo, finishing the first half with a 3-0 lead.
Speaking on the TRT Spor broadcast after the match, Tugay Kerimoğlu harshly criticized Galatasaray's overall performance. Kerimoğlu stated that many players on the yellow-red team fell below expectations.
There is nothing to discuss about Galatasaray today. You look, they are disconnected. I can name 7 players who were poor. If you have 7 players who cannot show their presence, you don't have much of a chance to turn it around.
Kerimoğlu stated that Galatasaray had a poor start and that the technical staff did not seem sufficiently focused on the flow of the match. The former footballer emphasized that it was clear Trabzonspor would react, and that Galatasaray was unable to respond to the game.
The most notable part of the evaluation was his comments regarding Leroy Sane. Kerimoğlu expressed that Okan Buruk is trying to win the player over, but that this is not being reflected on the pitch.
I've been talking about Sane for weeks. Coach Okan is trying to win him over, but it's not working. You put him in the game, it doesn't work. When you put in an out-of-form Barış, you lose performance. Will Barış recover? He might. It is very difficult to recover Sane.
Kerimoğlu argued that Sane has not been able to mentally move past the process he is going through. Stating that he does not want anyone to be in a bad situation, Kerimoğlu said that when a large number of players show low performance at the same time, one must simply congratulate the opponent.
