Former Fenerbahçe attacking midfielder, Rıdvan Dilmen, has warned Mauro Icardi to accept Victor Osimhen as Galatasaray’s number one striker.
According to Dilmen, Galatasaray’s centre-forward position belongs to Osimhen, and Icardi must either accept it or give in.
Speaking recently on the Sports Digitale YouTube channel, Dilmen said: “Okan Buruk doesn’t want to upset Icardi either. But the Champions League doesn’t tolerate sentimentality.
A game with Icardi would be a different game; you wouldn’t have had the start you did with him in this match, and you wouldn’t have scored the third goal.
“If emotionality overtakes logic in coaching, you have no chance of success. This team’s centre forward is Osimhen. Icardi will either accept it or give in.”
Both Osimhen and Icardi were on the scoresheet as Galatasaray defeated Göztepe 3-1 in the Turkish Super Lig at the weekend.
