HARSH CRITICISM OF THE REFEREE
After the match won by Galatasaray with goals from Yunus Akgün, Gabriel Sara, and Mauro Icardi, Erman Toroğlu stated that the referee should have sent Torreira off with a second yellow card. Toroğlu said, "Why did you, as a referee, let yourself be pushed around? Send Torreira off with a second yellow card. Don't be lenient. They use these referees and throw them away like a tissue."
"THEY GET SENT OFF IN EUROPE"
Expressing that it has become a habit for Torreira to remain in the game, Toroğlu said, "Players who get used to this here are getting sent off in Europe. Then they get angry at the referees in Europe. Do what is necessary here. Send Torreira off, come on, send him off with a second yellow card," he continued his reaction.
IMPLICATION OF CHAMPIONSHIP
Speaking to Ekol TV, Erman Toroğlu also mentioned the penalty decision in the Samsunspor match, stating, "If Galatasaray becomes champion with 2 points tomorrow, the reason will be the Samsun match. A penalty in the 90+3… They are affecting the league."
COMPARISON OF ICARDI AND HAGI
The performance of Mauro Icardi was also discussed in the program. Comparing him to Gheorghe Hagi, Toroğlu said, "Hagi both played and made others play. He was a very high-level player. If Icardi didn't focus on other things, it would have been very different. Still, catching up to Hagi is important." He also added that Icardi was better than Osimhen in his best periods.
