After two campaigns in which loose enough Gio did not have many minutes on the pitch with face the Spurs and the 2010 World Cup, the player said he needed to take pace.

The selected Mexican reach the Turkish fleet on loan for six months, with option to purchase 10 million.

It seems that Tottenham, with which Giovanni has a contract until 2013 and Galatasaray reached this agreement in recent days but could not make it official because the Turkish workforce was complete, and should therefore be wait for a foreigner Square release.

For this reason, the table led by Dutchman Frank Rijkaard, who made his debut for Barcelona Gio in 2007, decided to invalidate the contract of injured Australian Harry Kewell, for the next six months to accommodate the Mexican.

In this way Giovani Dos Santos will become the third Mexican military in Turkish football, Sergio Almaguer did previously and the late Antonio de Nigris.

Thus, the starting players had as Pinto, Oleguer, Thuram, Gudjohnsen, Giovani or Eto'o who is not very clear to return to wear this shirt in the official party.

For many, therefore, were a good opportunity to leave a good taste in the mouth. But watched the first 20 minutes, which seemed rather what would be the repitición of recent disasters feature this team. That's because the minute 15, Murcia, which next year will be in Second Division, already won by 1-0, thanks to a goal from Ochoa, head, the salia a corner. And soon, Ivan Alonso had already sent a ball to crossbar and had serious troubles to Pinto. And all this time, Barca could only be highlighting a clear penalty on Puyol at the exit of a corner kick, that the collegiate not pit.

But, fortunately, from minute 20, Murcia saw the Second Division team to a club that, at least, it would be able to win a team eviction. It all began in minute 22 with a nice play by Henry and Messi, with the French centre and auction accurate Eto'o at the bottom of the goal. Three minutes later, Xavi, who was sent a pass in depth, Henry was anticipated at the local goalkeeper in his crazy departure, took the ball with his head door and empty, marked the 1-2. And in one minute 32, Giovani opened her recital culminating a good combination between Gudjohnsen and Eto'o. Three goals in just over ten minutes and decided to rest yet.
