Abdülkerim Bardakcı, the new transfer of Galatasaray, made a statement to TRT Spor. Evaluating the atmosphere in the team and the transfer process, the successful defender used flashy statements about that process.
HERE ARE ABDULKERİM BARKDAKCI’S EXPLANATIONS
The transfer process was very stressful. It’s been 10x stress for my manager. He took care of everything and didn’t involve me much. I heard about Galatasaray’s offer and immediately chose Galatasaray as my first choice. Well done here. I went into a lot of different emotions. I came here by scraping it with my nails. I am proud, I will work even harder from now on.
My dream was to wear the Galatasaray jersey. Thank god I am living this dream.
I could have come to Galatasaray before. However, I am currently in the prime of my career. I will give my best to Galatasaray.
Galatasaray’s goal in every lane it competes in is the championship. Last year was an unfortunate season. We will make up for it this year. We will show a very good Galatasaray.
After Marcao is gone, there is no pressure on me. My job is to defend on the field. I also like the pressure, it’s okay.
Okan Buruk is an important detail. We talked very well before the transfer, I liked it too. My first choice was Galatasaray anyway. We want to play from behind with Okan Buruk and come out with a pass. I’m used to this.
I look forward to the derby matches. I’m dying to play.
Galatasaray is a very big club. The fans took care of me despite the mistake in the first game. They gave a lot of support. I hope to be the captain after Fernando Muslera.
I’m not a hard defender, but I like hardness. My biggest feature is being able to set up games from behind. Last year, I had 5 goals and 4 assists. I also contribute to the attack. The ball is pushing me too. I feel where the ball can go. The first target is defense, but I also want to contribute to the score.
Olimpiu Morutan is like my little brother. Last year, I heard that he was closed and I’m doing my best to open up. My English is not very good either, but we get along in English. He also has very good English.
Last year, Aleksandar Pesic challenged me the most. Haris Seferovic is a top scorer. We played against each other for the first time in training, I said, ‘He will do incredible things this year’.
Konyaspor is in good shape. İlhan Palut is like a father. Always hungry for success. I know that he stays in the facility most of the time. They bought a good defender for me. He also contributed goals to the team.
When I first went to the National Team, I thought I was in a dream. We’re meeting with Stefan Kuntz. I couldn’t go to the last camps because of my injuries. I hope I will go to the National Team again and play. I want this.
Ahmet Çalık was a very qualified brother. We have become the most talked-about duo in Turkey in the last two years. I can’t say much more… I’ve been very bad again… May he rest in heaven. May God give patience to his family.
I got sick in the first camp. Nando asked me, ‘What happened, did you get sick from stress?’ said.
