Yesterday, we watched one of the best examples of that beautiful game in Seyrantepe. Seven goals, countless chances, many great individual performances. A Thierry Henry goal from Yunus… I’m sure the 50 thousand people who bought tickets to Ali Sami Yen returned home with the feeling of having had a fun evening.
Galatasaray has collected more than twice as many points as its opponent in the first 15 weeks and has a home field advantage. However, in the match where they started as favorites, they found a resistant Trabzonspor against them. The turning point of the season for the claret-blue team was the Adana Demir match on November 25. Yes, their opponents were weak, but the claret-blue team turned a new page with players such as Serdar, Batagov, Arif, Umut and Cham, who were in the first 11 that day. They have played 4 official matches since then. The team has become younger. They have many injured people and those who are out of the squad. But believe me, Trabzon currently has a wider rotation with the participation of these young people. They received the reward of this transformation with satisfactory football in the second half of Kasımpaşa after the win in Adana and despite the defeat in Galatasaray away.

OKAN BURUK SHIP CLOSE TO THE PORT
The yellow-reds are in a difficult fixture with 7 matches in a month between 23 November and 23 December. Alkmaar, Eyüp, Sivas, Malmö, Trabzon, they are all difficult exams. Moreover, they dealt with a lot of injury problems during this 1-month period. They could not benefit from critical players such as Icardi, Osimhen, Davinson, Kaan and Jakobs from time to time. Okan Buruk has not completed this 7-game period yet, but he is on course on both fronts: He has guaranteed to enter the new year as the leader in the league. If they beat Dynamo Kiev with 0 points in Europe, their top 8 ticket is guaranteed. So Okan Buruk is very close to successfully bringing the ship closer to the port for the first half of the season.
Of course, we need to highlight a few individual performances in yesterday’s wonderful match: Yunus, who added a Thierry Henry goal to his beautiful assist, Nwakaeme, who gave ball storage lessons at the age of 36, Mertens, who was involved in almost every action in Galatasaray and made a difference with his intelligence, and the special relationship he established with Şenol Güneş. The Ozan who is constantly reborn with the bond. It was truly a match with lots of stories and heroes.
