Turkish pundit, Levent Tuzemen, has slammed those calling for Mauro Icardi to leave Galatasaray.
Tuzemen said that the veteran attacker deserves respect as he had given everything for the success of the club when the likes of Victor Osimhen were not there.
Tuzemen told A Spor that those calling for Icardi’s departure should cover their faces in shame.
“Shame on those who said Icardi should go. Who carried the team in the league when Osimhen wasn’t there?” Levent Tuzemen said, as quoted by habesarikirmizi.
“He has five goals! How did this Icardi hatred suddenly arise? People tweet saying ‘I should be different.’
“Icardi is Galatasaray’s phenomenon. He has some physical shortcomings, but the doctor said, ‘He’ll recover after October,’
“While Osimhen was injured, he somehow put you on his back. He’s been with Galatasaray since the day he arrived!” He added.
The Argentina striker replaced Osimhen in the 86th minute as Galatasaray fought hard to earn a 1-1 draw against Besiktas on Saturday.
