Playing the first official game of the new season, Galatasaray returns with 3 points from Antalya away. Aslan, who reached 3 points with the goal scored by Gomis in the 90th minute, opened the season with a win. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Okan Buruk commented on Antalyaspor’s victory;
Okan Buruk: “There was a lot of humidity, fatigue appeared and both teams rested from time to time in the match. The match went to both sides. Muslera did an incredible job. He saved two net positions. The move paid off very quickly.”
“Antalyaspor was unbeaten for a long time. It was important to start the league with 3 points. It is important to get in front of our fans by winning 3 points. We invite them to our match. We want to celebrate many 3 points and many championships with them.. We are trying to do the best.”
“Mertens and Torreira will also join the team as soon as possible. But we don’t know how they are at the moment. They will pass some tests and will be installed in the squad over time.”
“I don’t want to talk too much about transfers while we’re in the race. I respect the players we have. Mertens has played 4 divisions at the front. Torreira can also play in the double midfield. It’s important for playmaking and breaking the game into the opponent’s half. They will make a big contribution to us.”
“We will need every player, every minute. We are trying to build a large and quality squad.”
