1 goal in 7 games! Former Bayern s sharp swordsmanship starts with the sky. Local reporter: He plays less

In the early morning of September 23, a focus battle was staged in the 6th round of the 2025/26 Turkish Premier League. Leader Galatasaray defeated the visiting Conia Sports 3-1 at home to win the league start with a six-game winning streak. In this game, former Bayern winger Sane started the game, but only had 2 shots and 0 direct shots. Since joining Galatasaray, he has only scored 1 goal in seven games, which is the beginning of the sky.

In this game, Galatasaray secured the victory with two goals in the first half of Akkin and Icardi and Torrera's long shot in the second half, while Konia Sports, who played away, scored only by Naire in the 80th minute to save face. During the game, Sane started as the right winger and worked very hard on the court. In the 90-minute game, Sane contributed the highest 5 breakthroughs, 3 successful breakthroughs and 3 interceptions. However, the 20-time goal loss was not the same as the one. In addition, in the most critical shooting session, Sane only had a pitiful 2 shots and 0 direct shots. After the match, Sane updated social media to celebrate the victory after the match, with Galatasaray's iconic yellow and red heart-shaped patterns. It can be seen that the team is in a good mood to win. However, the local media did not intend to let him go, but instead criticized him fiercely.

Reporter and commentator Levent Tuzemen said when he was a guest on A Sport program: "Galatasaray did not benefit from Sane's transfer. If Sane continues to play like this, he will only drag the team down rather than help the team. Galatasaray is like fighting one less!" And reporter Sedat Kaya, who works for Halk TV, is even more blunt: "Sane's sluggish performance is once again eye-catching. Sane is no longer as brave as he used to be. It is still unknown when he will be able to recover."

29-year-old Sane comes from Schalke's 04 youth training. He once staged a good show of going to the Bernabeu at the age of 19, and he became famous at a young age. Afterwards, Sane played for Premier League giants Manchester City and Bundesliga top Bayern, and they also performed well. This summer, Sane, whose contract with Bayern expired, gave up his contract renewal and joined Galatasaray freely, and received a high salary of 12 million euros after tax. The Turkish Super League giants also have high expectations for his arrival, hoping that he can lead the team to make a difference in the European arena.

However, the ambitious Sane has only scored 1 goal and has two assists since then. In the first round of the first phase of the Champions League last week, Galatasaray defeated Frankfurt 1-5 away. Sane played 67 minutes and gave an assist, and his overall performance could only be considered moderate. After that game, Sane had already scored goals in the Champions League debuts of four teams, setting a Champions League record. But Galatasaray obviously hopes he can do more.

Sane's weak performance cast a shadow on his appearance in the World Cup next summer, but it made his former club Bayern feel lucky. You should know that in order to renew his contract with Sane, Bayern issued a new contract of 15 million euros before tax, but Sane did not accept it. After he left, Bayern immediately signed Liverpool winger Louis Diaz, whose annual salary was 14 million euros. Since the start of the new season, Louis Dias has also played in 7 games, but has gained 4 goals and 2 assists. From the perspective of performance, he is much better than Sane.
