Expressing that they think of Dries Mertens’ net position as the back of the striker, Okan Buruk said, “He played there last year, too. It is one of the places he will play on the left side. When he finds his 100%, he can be on the left side.
His most productive place seems to be behind the striker. He took the 45 minutes well. We will look and evaluate during the week. 8 days to the next game. We think it will be one hundred percent ready. When he came here, he played his first game with 4 training sessions. This is the second week, normally the players are preparing in 6 weeks,” he said.
“FROM THE NEXT WEEKS, NELSSON WILL BE WITH US IN MUCH MORE CONFIGURATION”
Emphasizing that the transfer period is very difficult, Okan Buruk said, “The players who come to you put pressure on the team in other positions, sometimes lowering their performance. A player’s name is mentioned, and it reduces the performance of the players playing in that position. Players who receive a transfer offer want to leave. In that process, their morale deteriorates. It’s a tough process. .
