Beşiktaş, having defeated Galatasaray 5-0, reached the championship in the Turkcell Super Cup. Sports writers evaluated the match.
Here are the comments from the sports writers:
"HE CHECKMATED OKAN BURUK"
Levent Tüzemen: "I congratulate Beşiktaş; after the early goal they found following Nelsson's mistake, they did not panic or get flustered, they never broke away from their game discipline, and they gave the ball to Galatasaray while playing smart and organized team defense. Van Bronckhorst introduced a game system and was successful. He checkmated Okan Buruk in terms of tactics and game plan. In football, if you put your ego forward and act like 'I know everything,' you end up hitting a wall like this. Okan Buruk's fantasy with Berkan in the midfield, choosing Kerem Aktürkoğlu over Zaha, and keeping Davinson Sanchez, one of the best defenders of the Copa America, on the bench were huge mistakes."
'WE WOULD HAVE SAID IT WAS A FRIENDLY MATCH'
Ahmet Çakar: "Galatasaray made the worst season start of all time. If we didn't recognize their jerseys and the players, we would have said, 'Beşiktaş played a friendly match against a team from the Second League Group B.'"
'BRONCKHORST'S GALA'
Uğur Meleke: "Beşiktaş's new manager, Van Bronckhorst, put on a magnificent gala at the Olympic Stadium yesterday. The biggest problem for Beşiktaş last season was the 'grey men.' Half of the team had either grey health, grey performance, or a grey position. This Beşiktaş has been cleansed of all these greys. Everyone's position is clear. Everyone is fit."
"THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE A CHANCE TO THE LAST CHAMPION"
Güntekin Onay: "Beşiktaş was much more organized, determined, and in much better physical condition. They achieved a historic victory by scoring 5 goals without giving Galatasaray a single chance. Playing very rationally after the goal that came in the first minute, the black and whites did not even give a chance to the last champion."
