MINI COMMENT / BERKE ÖZBAY WROTE…
GALATASARAY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WITH OSİMHEN
Galatasaray, which won the last three matches in the league and made a good start in Europe with two wins and a draw, faced the English team Tottenham again for 3 points. With the first whistle, Galatasaray started to blow like the wind. After responding to his opponent who was pressing in front with his passes, Aslan started to press the front area with his fans. The yellow-reds, who got results from the pressure, scored a great goal after a set-piece by Yunus in the 6th minute. Then, the yellow-reds, who saw the goal in their goal for a moment, quickly got over the shock of the goal. G.Saray, which applied shocking pressure to its opponent while setting up a game, scored its 2nd and 3rd goals with its star Osimhen. Tottenham, who came to the field with 7 missing players, had a hard time reflecting what they wanted on the field yesterday, but the most important factor was of course the smart and effective game played by Galatasaray. The Lions’ offensive line was at full speed against the English team, which had deficits in defence. Even though Galatasaray was the team that made the difference last night, Osimhen proved how much he has improved with his real performance.
