Fenerbahçe claimed a decisive 2-0 victory over Galatasaray in the Süper Kupa final, marking a significant early win in what promises to be a competitive Turkish football season. The match’s outcome has ignited post-game analysis, particularly surrounding Galatasaray’s performance and strategic decisions. Following the defeat, commentator Levent Tüzemen delivered a scathing critique of both Galatasaray head coach Okan buruk and the club’s transfer policies, sparking widespread discussion among fans and analysts alike. Tüzemen’s pointed remarks, broadcast on A Spor, dissected key tactical choices and questioned the club’s approach to team building.
Fenerbahçe defeated Galatasaray 2-0 in the Süper Kupa final. Following the match, commentator Levent Tüzemen heavily criticized Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk and the club’s management on the broadcasting network. Tüzemen’s criticism of goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır, and by extension, Okan Buruk, quickly became a major talking point.
“TEDESCO OUTPLAYED OKAN BURUK!”
Speaking on A Spor after the final whistle, journalist Levent Tüzemen pointed out that Fenerbahçe had one less day of rest than Galatasaray heading into the match.

“Despite that, they were physically superior, tactically better, and showed more fight and determination. Tedesco completely outplayed Okan Buruk,” Tüzemen stated. The Süper Kupa is a key trophy in Turkish football, often signaling momentum heading into the league season.
“YOU LOCKED IN JANUARY 28TH!”

Tüzemen also took aim at Galatasaray’s transfer policy, saying, “Galatasaray management, you continue to look for players until January 28th. Then you’ll resort to panic buys and expensive players. We’ve seen this before with players like Fabian Ruiz. You have players like Guendouzi and Musaba right in front of you, but you ignore them because you prefer expensive options. You’re afraid to sign players who can actually make a difference. You don’t care about anything.”
“We always support Okan, but you aren’t even picking players you like! And even the players you do bring in aren’t performing. The truth is, saying your team didn’t play up to their potential after the match is a simple answer. You need to explain *why* they played below their potential. You had a meeting four days ago, you said you were in good shape, you trained… but there was no team out there. Can this team really play like that in a Fenerbahçe match?” he added.
OKAN BURUK QUESTIONED OVER UĞURCAN ÇAKIR DECISION

Tüzemen continued, “Galatasaray’s defense has been playing with Uğurcan all season. Günay didn’t make a single play with a long ball! Why did you drop Uğurcan? This is a one-off match, there’s no rematch. Uğurcan is the national team goalkeeper. This is the Süper Kupa final, you play with your first-choice goalkeeper. You could have played Günay in Fethiye later!”
