Çakar’s Critiques

Ahmet Çakar highlighted key moments: Onuachu’s lack of form and slow performance, Salah’s 2nd‑half duel with the goalkeeper, Muçi’s need for more contribution, Aral Şimşir’s importance as a player, and Mustafa’s solid defensive and offensive work. He noted Başakşehir’s low squad quality and that Trabzonspor faced a “not poorly played” opponent.

Future Expectations

Çakar said the goal by Ali Şansalan and the referee’s decisions were correct, but the penalty awarded to Salah at the 78th minute and the yellow card were incomprehensible. He also claimed that Muçi and Aral Şimşir will make significant contributions as the weeks progress.
