In the 12th week of the Trendyol Super League, Galatasaray suffered its first defeat of the season, losing 1-0 away to Kocaelispor. After the match, famous commentator Rıdvan Dilmen made a striking championship claim while evaluating the performance of the yellow-reds.
"THERE IS A PROBLEM IN GALATASARAY'S GAME"
In his assessment on Sports Digitale, Rıdvan Dilmen stated, "When we look at Galatasaray over the past 3 years, there were no weeks where they lost 7 points. Now they have only managed to get 5 points in 4 matches. They lost 2 points in the matches against Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş, and struggled to maintain their superiority against Başakşehir. Uğurcan was the best player on the field in the Alanya match, but the match ended 1-0. This situation indicates that there is a problem in terms of gameplay," he said.
Dilmen also commented on Galatasaray's squad choices, saying, "As long as you don't switch to a three-man defense and with Icardi in the team, you cannot change the game. Osimhen and Icardi are among the best strikers in Europe, but they cannot play together. They cannot be a second striker or a winger. The coach has to choose one," he expressed.
The experienced commentator also pointed out that some players need to be rested, stating, "He repeated the mistake he made in the Beşiktaş match. He could have rested Osimhen. Physically, everyone is behind Sallai, who is making a difference with his consistency. I was expecting Eren to play," he said.
"FENERBAHÇE WILL NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY"
Rıdvan Dilmen mentioned that Galatasaray's defeat has added a new dimension to the championship race, saying, "Probably in a few hours we will say, 'The league has restarted, the cards have been reshuffled.' Fenerbahçe will not miss such an opportunity. The derby on December 1st will be a turning point in this race," he said.
