Date: 26-11-2004
Wrote: EP's reporter in Turkey Ali AVCI

Galatasaray are celebrating their 100th anniversary. They also want to catch the championship title in the important year but this target seems very hard now. Galatasaray have not got a strong squad as in their past years and they have had some problems in concentrating on good football. Ayman Abdelaziz's Malatya was the last team that stole points from Galatasaray. Malatya is the first team that haven't lost to Gala at their home so far this season.
