ZAHA MET GOAL, DAVINSON SANCHEZ AND TORREIRA RECEIVED LIKES
Galatasaray’s new transfer, Wilfried Zaha, tied the score with a stylish goal in the 56th minute and scored his first goal in the yellow-red jersey. The Ivory Coast football player also received acclaim for his play.
Lucas Torreira won 15 loose balls and eight double tackles, becoming the first Galatasaray player to reach these figures after Gedson Fernandes in Yeni Malatyaspor in May 2021.

New transfer Davinson Sanchez was the player who made the most passes in the Ankaragücü match.
Hürriyet writers Uğur Meleke and Güntekin Onay evaluated the match in their columns.
UĞUR MELEKE: A PROMISING NIGHT FOR OLD TRAFFORD
Galatasaray played perhaps the busiest, most concentrated 45 minutes of the season last night: They were active, enthusiastic and dynamic at every moment from the first minute to 45+3. They found positions with Kerem, Zaha, Tete, İcardi, but they just couldn’t pass the magnificent Bahadır. The yellow-reds completed the first half with 71% possession, 18 shots and 8 corners. However, I think the most important thing than all these statistics was this: The success of winning back from incomplete attacks.
DAVINSON PLAYED GREAT
In Galatasaray, Torreira generally had a lot of pressure on him in this regard. However, yesterday, there was a name in the top 45 that contributed as much as Torreira, and perhaps even more than the Uruguayan: Davinson Sanchez. The Colombian defender takes such correct positions when returning from incomplete attacks and makes such effective interventions that this performance inevitably made me think: If Davinson had been on the field in the Copenhagen match, perhaps Galatasaray could have provided a stronger attack continuity and scored the first goal. If they had scored the first goal against Copenhagen, the story could have turned out differently.
HE NEVER REDUCED THE TEMPO

The yellow-reds paid the price for this risky play at the beginning of the second half in Seyrantepe yesterday. Galatasaray fell behind 1-0 when Kerem Demirbay lost the ball easily in the attack and did not run back. However, there was a team on the field that was neither demoralized nor slowed down after the goal they conceded. They already received the reward of this intense football with goals.
WE WATCHED A REGISTERED ZAHA GOAL

In addition to Davinson Sanchez, who impressed with his amazing interventions in the return of the incomplete attacks in Galatasaray yesterday, a separate parenthesis should be opened for Zaha, who played in the first 11 for the first time. In this match, where Kerem Aktürkoğlu started at the center and Zaha started on the left wing, the Ivorian superstar showed passages from his glorious days at Crystal Palace. He appeared as if by magic between two people in three different positions. He also decorated his good football with a registered Zaha goal. I think both Davinson and Zaha will start against Manchester United on Tuesday evening. There was a promising performance on the field yesterday for the Old Trafford test to be given on Tuesday night.

GÜNTEKİN ONAY: GALATASARAY PLAYS DIFFICULT FOOTBALL
class=”cf”>
The fact that Galatasaray will play against Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday night also brought up some question marks before the Ankaragücü match. Would the international stars of the Yellow-Reds stick to the away game in Manchester and play at a slow tempo? It wasn’t like that at all. There was a Galatasaray that was always searching with the same appetite, the same desire to win, the same enthusiasm.
ANKARAGÜCÜ’S TRANSITION PLAN WORKED ONCE
The yellow-reds did not stop Ankaragücü with the effective press in the front area, and after losing the ball, they immediately put pressure and ensured continuity of attack. Goalkeeper Bahadır’s saves in many goal-scoring positions led to a goalless end to the first half. Although Ankaragücü was able to make the planned pass once and took a 1-0 lead in the match, with the pressure intensifying after the goal, Galatasaray started to use wing-backs Angelino and Boey to attack more. The goal that came almost shouting was brought to 1-1 with a stylish shot by Zaha, who played in the first 11 for the first time.
WHY NOT MANCHESTER UNITED MATCH?
Galatasaray plays difficult football. Torreira has a big job when he leaves wide space at the back and puts his 2 full-backs on the offensive. The Uruguayan football player is the person who has the most important role in this offensive setup of the team. Galatasaray shot at the opponent’s goal 36 times yesterday. He applied very intense pressure. Ankaragücü’s quality may be limited, but the performances and physical condition of ZAHA and Davinson Sanchez also gave hope before the away game against Manchester United. Manchester United is a team with problems and in crisis. They are especially having problems in the home field. Yesterday’s tempo, enthusiasm and game made us say why not before the away game at Old Trafford?
