After Galatasaray's 4-1 defeat to Barcelona, Tümer Metin issued very harsh criticism of Leroy Sane. The famous commentator said that if he were in Torreira's place, he would grab the German star by the throat in the dressing room.
In the second week of the UEFA Champions League, after Galatasaray lost 4-1 to Barcelona at home, Tümer Metin made remarks that will create a buzz. Evaluating the match on the Asist Analiz YouTube channel, the former national footballer reacted harshly to Leroy Sane's performance while giving a striking example through Lucas Torreira.
"A PERSON FIRST RESPECTS HIMSELF"
Criticizing Leroy Sane's performance on the pitch, Tümer Metin emphasized that the German footballer must fulfill his responsibilities toward his teammates. Metin said, "I have a thing or two to say to Sane. A person first respects himself, his career, his name. And he also respects his teammate."
"IF I WERE IN TORREIRA'S PLACE, I'D GRAB HIM BY THE THROAT"
Increasing the dose of his criticism, Tümer Metin stated that Sane's career would not change the criticism directed at him, and said the following:
"Honestly, if I were Sane's teammate, now when we say this they say, 'Who are you? Sane's career is this and that.' I'm not saying that. If I were in Torreira's place, I'd grab him by the throat or something in the dressing room, saying, 'Are you going to help us a little?'"
"I'M DEAD FROM RUNNING, ARE YOU GOING TO HELP?"
Continuing his words through Torreira's fight on the pitch, Metin drew attention to the difference in effort within the team. The famous commentator expressed his reaction toward Sane with the words, "'I mean, I'm dead from running, my pulse hit 200. I'm breathing through my nose, are you going to help?' I'd say."
HE ALSO CRITICIZED LEAO
Leroy Sane was not the only name in Tümer Metin's sights. Criticizing Leao, another Galatasaray star, Metin said, "The other one already plays a different tune, Leao. I'll win the ball, give it to you, and you'll go 'la la la'." Metin's harsh criticisms, especially over Sane's and Leao's contributions to team defense and effort, were among the striking evaluations after the Barcelona defeat.
