Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk made a statement after the match in which they defeated Çaykur Rizespor 1-0.
Here are those words…
“We know that our opponents will start more concentrated in such matches. They are more rested and more trained than us. We knew that the opponent would resist. They gave us the ball more. Our individual performances could have been better. We could not show this productivity. We tried to play ahead throughout the game. Rizespor also played the transition game. They tried to implement it. They did not lose a match on their field, they had a good Rizespor. I congratulate them too.
“WE MUST DO BETTER”
Important win. It’s been 9 in a row, we want to continue the series. We will go into the next match more easily. We will rest and have a chance to prepare. We have to raise the performances. As Galatasaray, we must do better.”
“IF WE WAIT FOR ICARDI, IT MAY TAKE LONG”
“After Mauro Icardi gets the injection, the time he plays in the match does not matter. There is no difference. If we wait, it may take a long time. He does individual training. He gets the injection on match days. It is very difficult for him, but he is very devoted. He shows how much he loves Galatasaray and football with what he does. “There will be an opportunity to rest.”
