Trabzonspor thrash Galatasaray 4-0 as Nwaiwu credits coach Reis's halftime talk
Trabzonspor hammered Galatasaray 4-0 in their Turkish Super Lig clash at Papara Park on Saturday night, with Mohamed Salah grabbing a hat-trick and Noah Saviolo adding the other goal. The win came against the defending champions and highlighted Trabzonspor's attacking form early in the 2026-27 season.
Chibuike Nwaiwu said the halftime talk from head coach Thomas Reis was the catalyst. He told Haber61 that, despite leading at the break, the squad focused on the coach's message to keep pushing, maintain the score, and push for even more goals. That mindset drove the second-half surge that turned a comfortable lead into a rout.
The result lifts Trabzonspor in the league table and puts pressure on Galatasaray to respond. For fans, it shows how a clear tactical reminder can convert advantage into dominance. Will Galatasaray's next match see a tactical shift to regain their early-season form, or will Trabzonspor continue to exploit any lapses in concentration?
