O Galatasaray ganhou confiança para o clássico com o Fenerbahçe ao bater o Lille por 4 a 2, na quarta-feira passada, pela Champions League. Foram os primeiros três pontos turcos na competição europeia; agora o foco é a segunda-feira (26), quando o time encara a nona rodada do Campeonato Turco.
"Foi muito importante essa primeira vitória, fortalece e traz confiança ao grupo. Mesmo tendo um primeiro tempo um pouco complicado, o time reagiu e foi buscar um resultado fundamental para a nossa continuidade", afirmou o meia Gabriel Sara.
O brasileiro participou do terceiro gol ao cobrar o escanteio que virou o jogo. Com o triunfo, o time entrou na zona de classificação aos playoffs, depois de tropeços diante de Sporting e Barcelona nas rodadas de abertura. O próximo compromisso na competição é com o Stuttgart, em 3 de novembro, em Istambul.
Antes, porém, vem um dos maiores rivais: na segunda-feira (26), às 15h30 de Brasília, o Galatasaray recebe o Fenerbahçe. Tetracampeão nacional, aparece em segundo, com 19 pontos, e fica um atrás do Amedspor — líder que já disputou um jogo extra. O Fenerbahçe é terceiro, com 16.
"O dérbi é sempre um jogo à parte, em que a cidade para e todo mundo só fala nisso. Acho que todos nos preparamos para momentos como esse. Estamos prontos, e contamos ainda com a força da nossa torcida para buscar mais uma vitória", completou o jogador revelado pelo São Paulo.
Aos 27 anos e em sua terceira temporada no clube turco, que defende desde 2024, Gabriel Sara tem dois títulos nacionais e uma Copa da Turquia. Na atual Süper Lig soma dois gols, duas assistências e 28 passes decisivos em oito partidas, um dos melhores números da competição no fundamento.
