'Has been carrying Galatasaray' - Bol highlights Osimhen is the only player making a difference

Sports commentator Emre Bol has openly criticized Galatasaray’s squad, highlighting their over-reliance on Victor Osimhen while questioning the lack of hunger and fight from other players. 

Speaking on the Ekol Sports YouTube channel, Bol expressed his frustration following Galatasaray’s latest disappointing result, emphasizing that Osimhen has been the only player making a difference.

"For weeks, Victor Osimhen has been carrying Galatasaray. The others are not showing any effect," 

Bol said, making it clear that the Nigerian forward has been the club’s standout performer while his teammates have failed to step up.

Since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, Osimhen has been one of the team’s most influential players, consistently delivering strong performances. 

His work rate, energy, and leadership in attack have been crucial, but Bol believes the rest of the squad has not matched his commitment.

"Other players do not show half the fight of Osimhen, who is on loan," Bol added, underlining the contrast between the striker’s effort and the attitude of his teammates.

Despite his short-term stay in Turkey, Osimhen has displayed a level of passion and dedication that Bol feels is missing from the rest of the squad. 

"There is no running, no fighting, no head-butting of the kick," he said, criticizing the team’s overall lack of intensity and physicality..

Galatasaray’s recent performances have raised concerns, with the team struggling to maintain momentum in their title challenge. 

While Osimhen continues to fight for every ball, his teammates appear to lack the same urgency.

Bol’s comments suggest a deeper problem within the squad, as Galatasaray’s inability to match Osimhen’s drive has led to frustrating results. 

Their inability to secure victories in recent matches has put their title aspirations in jeopardy, and Bol believes it stems from a lack of determination from the rest of the squad.

With Osimhen’s loan spell set to end, there are concerns about how Galatasaray will cope without him if the current squad does not improve. 

If his teammates fail to step up, the club could face serious challenges in the latter stages of the season.

Galatasaray’s struggles have not gone unnoticed, with fans and analysts voicing their frustration over the team’s performances. 

The pressure is now on head coach Okan Buruk to find solutions and ensure his players start matching Osimhen’s intensity.

Their upcoming matches will be crucial, and unless Galatasaray’s players raise their levels, their hopes of securing the Super League title could slip away. 

With Osimhen leading the charge, the rest of the squad must respond and prove they are capable of fighting for success.
