Sports commentator and coach Volkan Demirel evaluated the match in which Galatasaray, currently leading the Süper Lig, defeated RAMS Başakşehir 2-1 on NOW Sports screens.
''IT WAS NOT A MATCH UNDER CONTROL''
Volkan Demirel stated that Galatasaray has the ability to win matches even when they do not play well, saying, "It was not a match where they dominated the opponent or controlled the game."
''COULD NOT SHOW PRESENCE''
Expressing that RAMS Başakşehir could not respond to their opponent, Volkan Demirel said, "Due to Başakşehir's squad structure, the match being held there, and Galatasaray fielding a rotated squad, I wondered if 'Will Galatasaray face any problems?' but Başakşehir could not show any presence against Galatasaray. It seemed like Başakşehir played a game to earn points today."
''VERY DIFFERENT THINGS CAN HAPPEN''
Volkan Demirel also touched on Galatasaray's upcoming fixtures, stating, "Galatasaray will play at home in the next two weeks. They are going to Kocaeli. Gençlerbirliği and Fenerbahçe... Very different things can happen in 5 weeks."
''THE GAME THAT DISRUPTS GALATASARAY''
Providing the formula for taking points from Galatasaray, Volkan Demirel said, "A compact game is a game that disrupts Galatasaray a lot. I have mentioned this many times in the past. Whenever Galatasaray resorts to long balls, they tend to lose possession more. There are examples of this. With a compact game, your chances of taking points from Galatasaray are high, especially if you are playing at home. If you incorporate physicality with a compact game, I believe it is possible to take points from Galatasaray."
