galatasaray had a very comfortable win last night and i want to show you another nice statistic, about torreira.
as you know torreira is normally a defensive midfielder and it's not his job to score goals. at least we don't expect that.
but you may have noticed that torreira scored a goal last night and in the 2 games before that. and there is only one reason for that, mario lemina.
the fans wanted lemina very much at half time because galatasaray had a problem with conceding goals. even in the simplest matches the team was always conceding at least 1 goal, so they put a lot of pressure on the management on social media and lemina was transferred.
and with his arrival, lemina replaced torreira and started to defend very well and move the ball quickly into the attack, making torreira comfortable.
in recent games torreira has been able to play more up front and doesn't need to be in the background all the time. the pressure on him has lessened.
as a result torreira, who has been playing as a defender since the beginning of the league, has turned into a goal machine by scoring 4 goals in the last 5 league games. that's what you call a proper transfer.
