The performance of Victor Nelsson, who started the game in the first 11 of Galatasaray, which drew 1-1 with AZ Alkmaar in the 5th week of the UEFA Europa League, was below expectations. The Danish defender, who has been one of the indispensable names of the yellow-red defense line in recent years, faced an interesting statistic this season.
Nelsson could not enjoy 3 points in any of the 5 matches in which he played in the first 11 with Galatasaray this season. The Danish defender, who was in the starting lineup for the yellow-red team in Beşiktaş, Kasımpaşa, Young Boys (2) and AZ Alkmaar matches this season, experienced two draws and three defeats.
TOP 11 DOES NOT WORK
Nelsson, who was in the first 11 against Beşiktaş in the Super Cup played at the beginning of the season, was in the squad that lost 5-0. The Danish defender, who then played in the first 11 in the Kasımpaşa match, which came from 3-0 to 3-3, also started in the first 11 in the Young Boys matches in which they bid farewell to the Champions League with 3-2 and 1-0 defeats. Nelsson last had a chance in the starting lineup in the 1-1 draw with AZ Alkmaar.
'IT HAS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP'
Coach Okan Buruk, who took Victor Nelsson off at the end of the first half against AZ, said: “Nelsson had a significant contribution to the championship last year. This year may not have started well, but we still always trust him. Today, the early goal we conceded broke our morale. Nelsson “I made a tactical change regarding him, but I think he will be better.” he said.
