After joining Galatasaray this summer, Sane has yet to find his form. In the Champions League game against Liverpool, he had no chance to play at all and sat on the bench for the entire game. Sane has only scored one goal in nine appearances, falling far short of the high expectations placed on him.
In this regard, Galatasaray star Alpaslan Erdem believes that Sane’s physical condition may be one of the reasons for his poor performance. Erdem, who currently coaches North Macedonia's top team Rabotniki, said: "I think he is not physically fit enough yet and needs time to adapt. Galatasaray defeated Liverpool without Sane, which shows something."
He also Added: "Galatasaray also had players like Ziyech, although he may not be as famous as Sane, but he was also unable to perform due to physical problems. The head coach Okan Brook gave him a chance of five to eight games, but soon let him go. Football is In this way, if you don't commit 100%, you will be eliminated quickly. "
Erdem warned: "I think Sane underestimated this. He might have thought he could play at Galatasaray even if he wasn't at his best, but football doesn't allow that. No matter where you play, if you don't fully recover, you will quickly lose your place and may even fall into the second division. He must be careful. "
However, Erdem has high hopes for Gundogan, another veteran who transferred to Galatasaray from Manchester City. "I believe Gundogan will help Sane a lot because he is a leader and he will make a difference."
