Context: Osimhen’s “Second Debut”

Victor Osimhen made his second debut for Galatasaray on August 16, 2025, coming off the bench in a 3–0 Super Lig victory over Fatih Karagumruk. He replaced Baris Alper Yilmaz in the 61st minute, after Yilmaz had opened the scoring and the opposition had been reduced to 10 men on a VAR-reviewed red card. Although Galatasaray added two more goals—an awkward own goal followed by a finish from Mauro Icardi—Osimhen did not contribute directly to the scoreline


The Criticism: Emotional Temperament vs. Professionalism

Turkish pundit Erman Toroglu (Ekol TV) didn’t hold back. While conceding that Galatasaray’s win was comprehensive, he contrasted Osimhen’s showing with Icardi’s, who did score after entering the game late.

Toroglu stated bluntly:

“Icardi is more professional than Osimhen.”

He further highlighted a recurring concern about Osimhen’s reaction under pressure—claiming that the Nigerian forward gets “angry easily with the opponent.”

“Osimhen gets angry easily with the opponent. Don’t do it. If they see you like that, they will play on you.”

Toroglu stressed that such visible frustration is a tactical disadvantage: defenders notice and exploit it. He advised Osimhen to remain composed and even build rapport on the field:

“Get along well with the defence, because the defence won’t have mercy on you.


Why This Matters

  • Expectations Run High: After a stellar 2024–25 season—where Osimhen netted 26 league goals, claiming the Super Lig Golden Boot, alongside multiple cup successes—fans and analysts expect nothing short of excellence.

  • Pressure Cooker: His permanent signing for a record €75 million this summer only intensified the spotlight.

  • Mentally Strong, Not Just Physically: Osimhen’s athleticism and finishing are world-class, but critics like Toroglu are calling for better mental poise—arguing that lack of emotional control can be a tactical liability.


What Lies Ahead

Galatasaray’s next match—against Kayserispor—presents a timely opportunity for redemption. A strong, composed performance could shift the narrative and reaffirm Osimhen’s role as the team’s key attacking force .


Summary Table of Key Points

Aspect Details
Match Context Second Galatasaray debut, came off the bench; team won 3–0.
Goal Input Osimhen didn’t score; Icardi did.
Pundit Criticism Erman Toroglu flagged temperament issues and professionalism.
Specific Advice “Avoid visible frustration—defenders will exploit it.”

Would you like me to pull up quotes from Galatasaray fans, analyse Osimhen’s past responses to criticism, or outline how other pundits are viewing his preseason so far?
