In the 11th week of Trendyol Super League, Galatasaray defeated Amed Spor Eylemler at home 4-3. Sports writers evaluated the tough fight.
"THERE WILL BE A HARD FIGHT"
Uğur Meleke: "When we went to Rams Park last night, Galatasaray had an average of 2.5 points per match and Amed had an average of 2.3 points. An average of 2.5 points makes you a champion in 90 of 100 seasons, and 2.3 in eighty of the 100 seasons. It was clear that there would be a tough fight, even before the kick-off. Both coaches had to go beyond their main settings yesterday due to two critical deficiencies: Okan Buruk, Barış in the absence of Osimhen. He put Alper at the far end and used Leao on the left. This time, Deniz played at the far end and Barış played on the left. In Ballet's absence, he turned to 4-3-1-2 and started with the double center forward Orban-Diagne in front of Saba. I think this model did not work. Davinson was very inactive, especially in the first half. And we watched an unusually slow Amed for 45 minutes. Besnik Hasi returned to his natural 4-2-3-1 formation. Sor on the left side and Krasniqi on the right side. The Diyarbakır team regained its familiar look, passing the ball better and scoring a superb free-kick goal. However, their positive efforts in the second half were not enough for Istanbul. (Hürriyet)
"8 MATCHES 7 WINS IN A MONTH"
Uğur Meleke: "Galatasaray played 8 tough matches in the last month, winning seven of them, except for Barcelona. They are entering the national break as leaders in the league and in a very advantageous position for the top 24 in the Champions League. We would not be unfair to anyone if we say that Batrakov and Torreira stood out with their performances not only last night, but throughout this month as a whole. From time to time, the short players in the Galatasaray midfield, Torreira, Batrakov and Yunus, were both defensive and defensive. "When I see their efforts and quickness, I cannot help but think of the Okan-Emre-Suat trio of the late 90s. In an age where football is becoming more athletic and physical every day, when everyone is calculating long players and set pieces, this short-quick team of Galatasaray makes a difference, especially technically."

"IT INCREASED TENSIONS"
Levent Tüzemen: "Galatasaray was surprisingly leading 3-0 in the second half and found happiness with Barış's goal on a night that had a nightmare by conceding 2 consecutive goals. I do not underestimate Amed, but a team like Galatasaray playing in the Giants League should not bring the score to 3-2 from 3-0. Torreira did not have a foul against his opponent before Dia Saba's amazing free kick. But Halil Umut Meler created it. It was a big mistake for Eren to rule out offside in Orban's magnificent header. Galatasaray without Osimhen was in control of the game and the positions until 3-0. In the 7th minute, Leao's control and then shot of the ball, which Torreira caught and turned into a pass, were perfect. Russian Prince Batrakov's shot, which left goalkeeper Lafont on the counter, gave us a sigh of relief in the second half. "When the score reached 3-0, the crowd was starting to feel like the match was over, but Dia Saba and Orban's goals suddenly increased the tension." (Morning)
"G.SARAY PLAYED WITH ITS FOLLOWING RIVALS"
Levent Tüzemen: "The main reason for the ineffective game in the second half was that Deniz Gül started at centre-forward. Because Okan coach came to the field with a correct 11 and put Yunus and Leao on the wings. Batrakov would also play behind the striker. This order worked until 3-0. Unfortunately, Okan coach took Deniz into the game with the comfort of the score and considering the national team. This disrupted Galatasaray's balance. Deniz was heavy at the front. "His stay, not being as active as Barış and not disturbing the opponent's defense enabled Amed to get ahead of the defense more easily. Barış, Galatasaray's brave and hard-working player, relieved the team with the great header he scored from Sara's cross. As a result, Galatasaray played all of its rivals except Beşiktaş away."

"INREVERS PROPORTIONAL LIKE AN OCTOPUS"
Mustafa Çulcu: "Galatasaray competed on more surfaces than rival Amedspor. Have modern and comfortable stadiums, but play football on terrible grounds! Such grounds are a big obstacle for a top-level team like Galatasaray. Torreira's height is inversely proportional to his legs, which extend like an octopus. He wins all the balls, makes offensive passes, presses, makes two-and-ones, and comes to help the defense. He is very fit. Even if they say such grounds are not suitable for Batrakov, it does not matter to him. He finds the place he wants and continues to score goals. He is a great player to watch. Halil Umut Meler is the most experienced player, but the subliminal message-containing choreography he presented in Galatasaray's first goal celebration should have identified the players who put the jersey on their heads and showed them the yellow card. He said it was a rule, not me. The fight between Sallai and Orban is clean in the 77th. Halil Umut Meler performed successfully without difficulty. (Photomac)
"IT WAS A GREAT MATCH!"
Zeki Uzundurukan: "We saw that Okan Buruk came to the Amed Sportif Activities match with the best squad, looking at it like a derby. The yellow-red fans were wondering how Galatasaray would react on the field in Osimhen's absence. We watched Leao play perfectly in the first half. He put his teammates in position, made tiring moves on the opponent, and scored a good goal. Leao played his best match in the yellow-red jersey. In the first half, Galatasaray got into such comfortable positions that no one noticed Osimhen's absence. While everyone was thinking 'Galatasaray won the match, this is over', Amedspor came back and took part in the game. First, Dia Saba scored a free kick and then Gift Orban headed the ball into the net. Leao's injury weakened Galatasaray's offensive power. He relieved Galatasaray. Amedspor's last goal only changed the score. Cimbom, who won the magnificent match, increased the point difference at the top to five and entered the national break in high spirits. (Photomac)
"DREAMS AND REALITIES"
Serkan Korkmaz: "The awfulness of the ground and the absence of Osimhen were quite worrying for Galatasaray. But with Batrakov added towards the end of the first half to the great performances of Torreira, Lemina and Leao, we watched a Galatasaray that was quite superior and reflected its superiority on the scoreboard. In the goal that opened the curtain, Leao completed the service of Torreira, who gave the number ten pass, like a real number nine. Jesus is in the national team. The Portuguese, to whom he left the number seven jersey, seemed to be the leader of the field with his passes, shots and game intelligence. The difference was increased to two with the mistake of Amed goalkeeper, but the injury of Leao at the very beginning of the second half turned the score to the guest team. However, a goal scored by Batrakov made the score 3-0 and relieved the league leader against his closest follower. First, Saba with a free kick and then Orban managed to reduce the difference to one with a header. "By beating such an opponent on such a ground, on the way to the international break, Cimbom gave confidence to his fans while disappointing those who expected to lose points." (Photomac)
