Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk, UEFA Europa League will play before the Ajax match with Dries Mertens at a press conference made a statement.
The status of Ismaıl Jakobs
Tomorrow we will do checks again. He went on training with us today. We are thinking of these matches, but on the other hand, we think of it if the next process brings a longer disability. This is also important. Icardi played with a needle for months. He was a kind of player. Not every player is the same. Tomorrow we will make a clearer decision about it.
“It seemed to be the hardest match, but …”
Ajax, Rigas’da definitely won the last match while thinking about the last match remained. Many teams are experiencing it. Manchester City will play to stay in the top 24 this evening. There are such matches. But the chance we have continues. This is very important to us. We did this in the Tottenham match. It seemed to be the hardest match, but maybe it was one of our easiest matches. The last match of the first episode. We want to continue well. If we win, it seems that we will be 99 %in the first 8. We could be much more comfortable here, but it didn’t.
“If we win, our chances of leaving the group …”
It is a very important match for us. We came to the last game. When we win, our chances of leaving the group come to 99 percent. We will play against a good team. Game quality, football quality, we will play against one of the largest clubs in the Netherlands. It is very important to us. We will do our best to win.
“Our topic is not transfer”
(In response to intermediate transfer period questions)
Currently our topic is not transfer. Our only topic is Ajax match. Winning and passing the tour is our only topic. After that, we have days ahead of us. There is time for the transfer. Studies are being done. Our agenda for tonight is not a transfer.
Transfer period, Galatasaray is trying to be used by fans who want to mix. We know ourselves. We know that the management works in good faith. It is very important that the players who will be reinforced are at our level. There was a very nice atmosphere in the team. Everything is going well. We want not to break this place. It will make a significant contribution here, care about it, and I have the closest example. It contributed a lot to us. We need to buy players to own this team. It is not very important that you just get a name. The character needs to be strong players. Of course it will be transferred.
There are days ahead of us. This will be done. Reinforcement will be done. A very important player was injured. Perhaps the most important match was injured. Here we will make these supplements. Everything is positive for us. We look at the positive side. I trust my players very much tomorrow. We will try to do the best. “
“Our mental health is in place”
Our mind, our mental health is so we see the status of points. We see what we live, how strong we are, how good we have a staff, how successful we are. Football is such a thing that you should always keep that concentration alive. We are trying to do this. We will try to continue this. There are also periods in which we experience problems.
“We have a very important staff”
In Turkey, the opposite is asked. Everyone wants to work with such important players. We have a very important staff. We should know the value of this. The period in which he worked in Turkey for Farioli, the teams he worked in Turkey, the quality of the staff there. It works with very important players. Ajax also has an important staff, he said. We know the value of this staff in Turkey. My players are showing them in the field. 4 months we will show this more.
DRIESS MERTENS’S RESPONSESS
We know how well Ajax plays on the field. It will be a difficult match. We want to be in the first 8. We will give everything. I hope it will be nice for Galatasaray.
(In response to the question “What does he think about this?”)
The coach of the other party is a little younger than me. Sometimes it can be difficult for me. But I’m a very nice team. My friends are gathering me very well. I am happy about this. I enjoy every day. It will show when I will come.
