In the match where Galatasaray defeated RAMS Başakşehir 3-2, Abdülkerim Bardakcı's staying on the ground in some positions and his slow, ineffective appearance drew the reaction of the fans. The yellow-red fans, pointing to the Champions League matches, made comments such as 'How are we going to play in the Champions League with this man?'
Abdülkerim Bardakcı's performance in Galatasaray's 3-2 victory over RAMS Başakşehir in the 4th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig became a topic of debate. The experienced defender, who came on at the start of the second half due to Mario Lemina's injury, was the target of criticism for his appearance in certain positions.
POSITIONS WHERE HE STAYED ON THE GROUND DREW ATTENTION
His defensive performance was criticized, particularly for positions where Abdülkerim stayed on the ground against opposing players and was late in his interventions. Fans, who thought the experienced center-back was sometimes slow and ineffective against Başakşehir's fast attacks, recalled the stronger opponents Galatasaray will face in Europe.
"HOW WILL WE PLAY IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE?"
The Champions League emphasis stood out most in the criticisms from the yellow-red fans. Some fans, who did not find Abdülkerim's performance against Başakşehir sufficient, made comments such as, "How will we play in the Champions League with this man?" The performance of the defensive line will also be closely monitored ahead of Galatasaray's Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon.
