‘You’re not bigger than Galatasaray’: Former Besiktas midfielder targets Osimhen

A former Besiktas midfielder says Osimhen is not bigger than Galatasaray, criticizing his attitude and play while warning Galatasaray’s defense could be exposed.

Osimhen’s latest outings have sparked a pointed message, with a former Besiktas midfielder insisting the forward is not above the Galatasaray team.

Speaking on Misryoum, Engin criticized Osimhen’s current approach, saying he was impressed by how he performed during his loan spell. He suggested the situation has changed, arguing that Osimhen has been involved in arguments and has shown carelessness on the pitch.

Engin also questioned Osimhen’s decision-making in key moments, including how he passes when play develops. In his view, the forward’s current level of composure has dropped, and he framed it as complacency that can hurt the team.

The former midfielder added that Galatasaray’s defensive setup may also have contributed to how games have been unfolding. He implied the side could be left vulnerable depending on how the back line is arranged.

Even with the criticism, Osimhen’s impact has remained clear in results on the field. Misryoum noted that he has contributed a goal or an assist in each of his last eleven Süper Lig appearances.

In this context, the difference between talent and temperament becomes the main debate. For Galatasaray, maintaining control in big moments can be as important as producing highlights, especially when matches turn on fine margins.

The back-and-forth around Osimhen’s conduct and execution underlines the pressure that comes with playing for a top club. Misryoum’s audience will likely watch whether the forward adjusts his game and discipline as the season moves on.

As these comments circulate, they also set a tone for how teammates and coaches may interpret individual decisions during matches. In a league where defensive structure and momentum swing quickly, small lapses can become the storyline.
