In the 28th week of the Trendyol Super League, Beşiktaş and Galatasaray face off in the giant derby. Before this match, Okan Buruk made statements for the yellow-red team.
HERE ARE OKAN BURUK’S WORDS:
The names that are not in the squad, Abdülkerim had pain in yesterday’s training. We were already using Abdülkerim sparingly. He didn’t feel comfortable in training yesterday, so we didn’t include him in the squad. He is not in the squad because we are thinking about the next match. Zaha has edema due to the coup. As a result of the MRI checks, combined with the pain, he was not included in the squad. Other than that, all the staff are our choice. Ziyech and Aurier’s injuries continue and they did not participate in team training. It’s been longer than we expected. Apart from them, there is nothing missing.
I saw the opposing team’s squad, they have two defensive players in the center and 4 offensive players in front of them. The important feature of our opponent is that they have not conceded a goal in 4 matches. It shows a safe game. They have quality players, especially up front, players who will affect the score. If you don’t concede a goal, that also wins the match. A tough match awaits. We will try to play our own game. It’s a difficult away game, but my players are used to this kind of away games. Our aim is to win. If we win this match, we won’t become champions. There are many matches, 11 matches. We want to win and maintain the advantage. Winning is very important today. Our opponent will also play to beat us. I hope we win with a good game. This is my biggest wish.
