There's no player like Osimhen — Expert tells Galatasaray how to beat Mourinho's Fenerbahce

Turkish sports commentator tipped Galatasaray on how to utilise Victor Osimhen in the derby against Fenerbahce.

Turkish sports commentator Abdulkerim Durmaz has tipped Galatasaray on how to beat Mourinho's Fenerbahce and boost their chances of claiming the Super Lig title. 

The Cim-Bom host their closest challenger in the title race, Fenerbahce, tomorrow at Rams Park. With six points currently separating both sides, a win for Okan Buruk's side would see them open nine points at the top. 

For Jose Mourinho’s charges, they could halve the current deficit. And with the Yellow Canaries in better form than Galatasaray, a three-point margin is feasibly surmountable.

What Durmaz said 

Speaking ahead of the game, Durmaz does not believe the champions can hurt Fenerbahce in transition. He advised the Cim-Bom to utilise Osimhen's aerial prowess and presence, which is the key to victory against Mourinho's team. 

Osimhen attempts a header in the game.

"Osimhen constantly receives the ball in the air in Galatasaray,” Durmaz said, per GsGazette. “Fenerbahçe-Anderlecht matches are not a measure. Because there is no man like Osimhen in Anderlecht. 

“If you give the opportunity, Osimhen receives the balls. If Galatasaray plays with a crowd in the penalty area, they can have many opportunities. Barış and Sara constantly try blindfolded shots. Osimhen also supports that attack. 

“I think Galatasaray cannot play a transition game either. Fenerbahçe will surprise Galatasaray and "He should start with Muslera and apply full-court pressure."
