Sergen Yalçın, evaluating Galatasaray's performance in the match against Gaziantep FK, criticized the yellow-red team's style of play.

He also mentioned that Galatasaray could drop points in their match against Rizespor.
Speaking about the performance of Super Lig giant Galatasaray in the match against Gaziantep FK, Sergen Yalçın referred to the Rizespor match.
CRITICIZED THE GAME
In the 22nd week of the Super Lig, Galatasaray, who visited Gaziantep FK, defeated their opponent 1-0. After the final whistle, Sergen Yalçın made striking statements regarding the performance of the yellow-reds.
Emphasizing that the yellow-reds were insufficient in terms of gameplay, Sergen Yalçın said, "Galatasaray played by constantly sending long balls to Osimhen. This is not Galatasaray's style of play. I saw Galatasaray like this for the first time. We watched a match constantly through Osimhen. He got tired of making runs behind and going for aerial duels because there was no other game."
"IT'S INTERESTING THAT GAZİANTEP COULDN'T SCORE"
Congratulating the experienced coach for the 3 points obtained despite the poor performance, he stated, "It's interesting that Gaziantep couldn't score, how many did they miss in the 2nd half? Muslera saved 1-2, and one they couldn't score with a header into an empty net at the beginning of the 2nd half. 1-0, with this game, 3 points are golden. To return with 3 points from such a match where you played nothing is a great success for Galatasaray," he expressed.
"ONE OF THE TOUGHEST MATCHES OF THE SEASON"
Sergen Yalçın stated that Galatasaray could drop points in the Rizespor match, saying, "If it continues like this, they will definitely stumble somewhere. Next week they are playing against Adana Demirspor, which looks like an easy match. Then there is the Çaykur Rizespor match, which will be one of the toughest matches of the season in that away game."
