Galatasaray Comments from Nihat Kahveci
Former national football player Nihat Kahveci evaluated the match in which Galatasaray beat Hatayspor 2-1 in the opening match of the new season of the Super League.
Kontraspor stated in their statements on their YouTube channel that Galatasaray displayed a weak performance both offensively and defensively. Kahveci said, “The dominance Galatasaray displayed on the home field last season was quite remarkable. However, I saw that the fans were a bit stressed in this match. As a result, they managed to win the match thanks to their two goal scorers. However, I have to say that Galatasaray, the champion of the last two seasons and the winner of the Super Cup last season, displayed a poor performance offensively and defensively. Although they fought today, they won the match.”
Nihat Kahveci, stating that he thinks Galatasaray players are complacent, said, “In football, past successes do not affect today’s game. Complacency is a feeling that has no place in the world of football. Even if we want to be champions for 8 consecutive seasons, this should not reduce the motivation of the players. I feel that there is a sense of complacency on the players of Galatasaray. They think, ‘We are good, we got 102 points, we will win this match too’. “football requires not competing equally with the opponents.”
The famous commentator, who emphasized that it is difficult for Galatasaray to reach their championship goals with this performance, said, “Galatasaray, in the season in which they said ‘Our goal is the 25th championship, 5 stars’, they will reach that goal “With this playing power? It seems difficult at the moment. If they had drawn today, other things would have been discussed.”
Kahveci said, “If Galatasaray had drawn, the chaos would have continued” and concluded his words by saying, “There is no figure like Erden Bey right now. But what I don’t understand is why the deficiencies in Galatasaray were not resolved early “When they were obvious, I cannot understand this situation.”
