In the 4th week of the UEFA Europa League, Galatasaray defeated the English representative Tottenham 3-2 on its field. Former football player Abel Xavier judged the competition.
Abel Xavier's statements are as follows:
Another match that will be read entirely through the performance of a coach. Okan Buruk is now showing a clear technical touch in Europe, as he has done in Turkey in recent years. This makes him someone who pushes the boundaries and attracts attention. The pragmatic solution produced by Osimhen in the squad while Icardi was present, being able to add a more impressive Yunus to replace the departed Kerem and increasing the efficiency of the missing midfield has a very serious impact on the club. It is very valuable to achieve results in the first half with a completely correct analysis and tactics against a cup favorite opponent like Tottenham.
'WHAT IS MISSING IS A CUP IN EUROPE'
Of course, Galatasaray has Europe in its genes and always puts its name forward here, but success in football now requires a strong club and proper side management as well as star players. We can easily say that Galatasaray has it all now and I think what is missing is a new cup to be won in Europe. Because such a win against an opponent who is the direct favorite of this cup requires this.
