Defeating Samsunspor 3-2 in the Super League, Galatasaray maintained its place at the top. Former football player and coach Hasan Şaş commented on the play of the yellow-red team and the weakness of the bench in SporON program.
NOT ONE, BUT 2 RED CARDS
“The foul committed against Davinson Sanchez in the Samsunspor match, not one but two red cards! Those who do not talk about this position should not talk about the match!”
YOU HAVE NO JOB IN Türkiye, GET ON THE PLANE DIRECTLY
“Galatasaray’s bench needs to be very strong. Galatasaray team cannot support 2-3 rookie football players. After 60, you look at the bench, it is empty, did I make this squad? Don’t you know how many lanes you will fight in? That’s why I’m asking Abdullah Kavukcu, Okan Hoca and other Galatasaray managers, look, you have no business in Türkiye, get on the plane, go straight to the plane and start looking for players right now.
YOU CANNOT TAKE THIS TIREDNESS
Galatasaray is both tired and you cannot handle the tempo, the strength, the fatigue of 7-8 players leaving with the same squad for 3 weeks. Who do I go to here? Whoever protected the squad. So, did the Galatasaray team think about this at the end of July or at the end of August? “No players will be injured or given yellow cards.”
ARDA ÜNYAY COMMENT
“You are trying to change players, you always criticized us why Arda did not play in this team. I said, he has a match, he has time. Because the centre-back position is not such an easy position. You will memorize your back, you will memorize your front, you will memorize the player. Also for Kazımcan. Now, if these players play with such inexperience, Galatasaray will be both tired and with 7-8 players leaving with the same squad for 3 weeks, then they will lose the tempo of this. “He can’t handle the strength of this, the fatigue of this.”
KAZIMCAN, YOU TAKE ALL KINDS OF PLAY FROM EMRE KILINÇ
“You made the bench according to whom or what? Which league did you make it for? Your bench is not even enough for the Turkish League. You put Lemina as the centre-back, Lemina leaves the game, you cannot replace him with a centre-back. What kind of a squad is this?
Brother Kazımcan, I admit that I am missing a match. Okay, you are not good physically, but can you please explain these tricks to me, I ask. Look, you may not have good physical strength, but you compressed the game to 3 meters and got all kinds of tricks from Emre Kılıç. All of Galatasaray’s losses came from there. “You are entering your third match now, one way or another, be a little more careful.”
THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH IS THE MONACO MATCH
“Actually, Galatasaray’s match is the Monaco match. It should not do whatever it takes to come back defeated. Because you have to beat Atletico Madrid. Do not count Manchester City. Do not go there as if you will need points in the Manchester City match. The most important match for Galatasaray is the Monaco match here.”
