Trabzonspor coach Thomas Reis said it is a "privilege" to have a player of Mohamed Salah's class, after the Egyptian scored a hat-trick on his debut under the team's command. This 4-0 victory over Galatasaray, who had previously remained undefeated in the Turkish Super Lig, was a relief for a Trabzonspor team that started the season in tumultuous fashion, culminating in the departure of coach Fatih Tekke. Reis was announced as the new coach on Thursday and in his first match he achieved an impressive victory.
Salah opened the scoring after just four minutes, in a move in which he crossed the midfield and finished coolly. Following his first goal, he assisted Noah Saviolo, who extended the lead. The Egyptian striker scored again before the break and completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute, in a run in which he covered half the field without being bothered by opponents, sealing the final result.
With this hat-trick, Salah now has seven goals in six Super Lig games. After the match, Reis was full of praise for his player. "Having a player of his class [Salah] is a privilege. But the whole team did an excellent job closing spaces, both defensively and offensively. We only had two intensive training sessions during the week, and the way the team implemented my game plan so effectively, with quick transitions and aggressive pressing, makes me proud. It's the deserved reward for the effort the players have put in over the last few days," said Reis.
Trabzonspor were effective, scoring with all four attempts on goal, despite only having seven shots in total. Salah led the team in several statistics, including expected goal (1.3 xG), shots (four), touches in the opponent's box (five) and chances created (two). With this victory, Trabzonspor moved up to fifth in the table, and Salah expressed delight at the significant victory over the league leaders before the international break.
"We haven't had an easy few weeks behind us," Salah said. "In this short space of time, the new coach gave us enormous tactical security. We knew that Galatasaray were vulnerable in transitions after losing the ball – we exploited those spaces ruthlessly. This victory should be our reference for the coming weeks."
What happens next
With this victory, Trabzonspor hopes to continue its rise in the Super Lig table, taking advantage of the momentum of the new management. Salah's performance will be crucial for the team's future, and the expectation is that coach Reis will be able to further implement his playing philosophy in the upcoming matches.
