Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk made a statement after the Copenhagen match played in the UEFA Champions League.
Here are those words…
“First of all, I would like to start by condemning the attack that took place in Turkey. I hope it will be a turning point for the country’s football. I hope steps will be taken. Get well soon to Halil Umut Meler and the referee community.”
“WE ARE SORRY WE DID NOT WIN”
“We didn’t want to lose. We had two options: to win and continue in the Champions League or to continue in the Europa League, depending on the next match. The game was as we expected. At the beginning of the match, the wing players had a big job. They were closing the center. We wanted to produce more here, but first We couldn’t create many clear positions in the half. We produced more in the second half. We wanted to include Ziyech and Mertens. We conceded a goal as soon as the players who would bring us energy in attack came to the side. Then we turned to two strikers with Bakambu. Maybe if we scored the first goal, we could also score the second goal. “We made a lot of crosses, but we couldn’t get our forwards to meet them. There were clear saves and balls coming off the line. We are sorry we couldn’t win.”
“OUR GOAL IS TO WIN THE UEFA EUROPEAN LEAGUE”
Okan Buruk: “Our next goal is the Europa League. A new goal awaits us. A new way for Galatasaray to win the cup. Our next goal is to win the cup.”
