According to Punch, a Popular Turkish commentator Serdar Ali Çelikler has sparked curiosity by suggesting that Galatasaray’s training sessions, featuring Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen and Argentinian striker Mauro Icardi, could attract bigger audiences than some Super League games, according to All Nigeria Soccer.Â
Çelikler’s bold statement follows Galatasaray’s convincing 3-0 win over Antalyaspor, where Osimhen and Icardi impressed with their outstanding performances. Icardi scored twice, while Osimhen sealed the win with a brilliant acrobatic comeback.Â
Galatasaray’s dominance in the Super League, coupled with Osimhen’s explosive start (three goals and three assists in five appearances), catapulted the Turkish giants to the top of the table.
Çelikler told Neo Spor that “Galatasaray’s training sessions are of better quality than some Super League matches”. If an intense 11v11 training session with Osimhen and Icardi was uploaded to YouTube, it would be widely viewed.Â
Osimhen’s impact since arriving from Napoli has been profound, quickly becoming a fan favourite. His absence during the Nigeria-Libya clash highlighted his importance to the national team.Â
Galatasaray’s appeal extends worldwide, thanks to the star power of Osimhen and Icardi. Çelikler’s comment highlights the Turkish League’s competitive problems and presents a unique marketing opportunity.
