Leroy Sane Could Be Galatasaray's Derby Hope

Leroy Sane, who began the season below expectations at Galatasaray, is at a critical turning point as he looks to put his loss of form behind him. Throughout his career the winger has been known for standing out in big matches, and this quality still gives Galatasaray supporters confidence.

The most talked-about aspect of the German star is the Fenerbahçe derbies. In these fixtures his pace, dribbling skill and runs that stretch the opposition defence could be among the yellow-and-red side's biggest weapons. The coaching staff is expected to place Sane at the centre of their plans for these matches.

Sane's performance is not only an individual matter. The team's attacking structure, the link between midfield and the wings, and the tempo within matches will all depend on how quickly he recovers. For this reason, the impact of every decision taken in the coming weeks will be followed closely.

For Galatasaray, the goal is to move past the difficulties of the first half of the season and find consistency. If Sane regains his form, he looks capable of making important contributions to the team both in the league and in the big games.
