Galatasaray’s manager, Okan Buruk, has explained why he decided to substitute Victor Osimhen during their UEFA Europa League play-off clash against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night.

With his team trailing 2-0 after 55 minutes, Osimhen sparked hope by scoring just a minute later. Roland Sallai then leveled the score in the 70th minute, but Galatasaray was still behind on aggregate.

Despite the urgency of the game, Buruk made the surprising decision to take Osimhen off in the final 10 minutes. He later clarified that the move was to protect the striker from injury, especially since Álvaro Morata was already sidelined.

“It wasn’t the result we wanted. We had high hopes, and if we had scored the first goal earlier, the game could have gone differently,” Buruk said. “A few players performed well, but as a team, we were below our usual standard.”

Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.

The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”

“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”

Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.

It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.

Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.

“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
