Sports commentator Hasan Şaş criticized Galatasaray's performance after losing to Fenerbahçe in the Super Cup. Şaş stated that Galatasaray was not prepared for the match and lacked concentration. He also criticized the absence of Uğurcan Çakır in goal, saying, "Guendouzi's shot is a shot that normal defensive midfielders can come and hit from there. Uğurcan Çakır could have saved that ball. If you are playing against Fenerbahçe, Uğurcan should be in goal. That's it."
Galatasaray lost 2-0 to Fenerbahçe in the Super Cup Final held at Atatürk Olympic Stadium. Sports commentator Hasan Şaş criticized the performance of the yellow-reds on the SporON YouTube channel.
"GALATASARAY WAS NOT PREPARED AT ALL"
Referring to Galatasaray's poor performance, Hasan Şaş stated, "Galatasaray was not prepared at all from start to finish, even before the match. There is no concentration. This stadium clearly affects Galatasaray. Davinson Sanchez came off, and this is how a corner that Icardi would face turns out. The match ended with that goal. Galatasaray played poorly. I believe that both coach Okan and the players will accept this."
"IF YOU'RE PLAYING AGAINST F.BAHÇE, UĞURCAN SHOULD BE IN GOAL"
Expressing that Uğurcan Çakır should have been in goal instead of Günay Güvenç, Hasan Şaş criticized Okan Buruk's choice of goalkeeper, saying, "If Uğurcan Çakır had been in goal, the scenario could have been different. Galatasaray is playing in the final, playing against Fenerbahçe. One of Galatasaray's most expensive players is not playing. The shot taken by Guendouzi is a shot that a normal defensive midfielder could have taken from there. Uğurcan Çakır could have saved that ball. If you're playing against Fenerbahçe, Uğurcan should be in goal. That's it."
"IT'S VERY CLEAR THEY WERE NOT CONCENTRATED"
Stating that the yellow-reds were not concentrated for the match, Şaş said, "I don't have a situation where I blame the goalkeeper or individual mistakes too much. The issue that created this situation has been ongoing since the Kocaelispor match. It is very clear that they lacked concentration in this match. This stems from not being able to prepare before the match."
"THEY NEED TO FACE THE TRUTHS"
Finally, Hasan Şaş said, "It's not about the Osimhen incident, nor the Singo incident. Galatasaray needs to face the truths. If they had taken a point from the matches against Monaco and Saint Gilloise, we wouldn't even be talking about the Atletico Madrid match. If you're going into a final match, you need to go in with 100% concentration. Your opponent is 300% more concentrated than you, but you can't be. Your problem is that your players are choosing matches. They are choosing matches, they are choosing stadiums, they are trying to select areas according to their comfort zones. This cannot be the case. We have the Atletico Madrid match ahead, and they have very serious matches after this. You need to know that Fenerbahçe will run more than you. You will play according to Fenerbahçe's situation."
