Completing the season as champion, Galatasaray wants to crown its success by winning the Super Cup. The yellow-red team will face Fenerbahçe tomorrow in the Turkcell Super Cup final. The match to be played at Al-Awwal Park in Saudi Arabia will start at 20.45. Coach Okan Buruk, who was specially prepared for the Super Cup match, made the necessary notes from the away match that ended in a goalless draw. The experienced coach, who wants a more offensive game, will make changes accordingly in the 11th of the first match against Fenerbahçe in the Super League.
HE WILL SCORE EARLY AND BREAK UP THE MATCH
Buruk, who wants to use Mauro Icardi, who has had difficulty getting the ball lately, more effectively, will move Dries Mertens, who was below expectations in Kadıköy, to the bench. Kerem Aktürkoğlu will be moved to number 10 again. Zaha will serve on the left and Ziyech will serve on the right. In addition, the experienced coach, who wants to increase the pressure in the midfield, is preparing to install Kaan Ayhan next to Torreira. Buruk, who wanted to score an early goal and break the match and prioritized the attack, did not neglect to warn the forward players to come to the midfield and defense to help.
RESERVE FORCE BAKAMBU
Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk takes special care of his reserve striker Cedric Bakambu before the Fenerbahçe derby. Buruk, who is preparing to start the match with Mauro İcardi, plans to bring Bakambu into the game in the later minutes of the match. Considering the possibility of the match going to overtime, the experienced coach asked the Congolese player to stand by. The 32-year-old football player contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in the matches in which he was substituted for Galatasaray this season.
WILL BUILD A DEFENSE WALL
Galatasaray has not been defeated yet in matches against Fenerbahçe, where Okan Buruk is the coach. The yellow-red team, which had 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 matches, did not even give its opponent a chance to shoot accurately in the last 2 matches. Okan Buruk’s team defense will also be at the forefront in the final match to be played in Saudi Arabia. Victor Nelsson, who regained his old harmony with Abdülkerim Bardakcı in the absence of Davinson Sanchez, did not let Edin Dzeko leave an eye on him in Kadıköy. The Danish player will be one of the biggest trump cards of his team in the Super Cup final.
SPECIAL INVITATION TO LUCESCU
A surprise name will also follow the Super Cup match between G.Saray and Fenerbahçe. According to the news in the Romanian press; Mircea Lucescu was invited by TFF President Mehmet Büyükekşi to the Super Cup where Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe will play in Saudi Arabia. Lucescu had previously coached Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and the National Team.
NEUTRAL FIELD AFTER 7 YEARS
F.Bahçe and Galatasaray will meet on a neutral field after 7 years, other than the stadiums where they play their home matches. The two teams last met in the 2015-2016 season Turkish Cup final, and the yellow-reds won the cup with a score of 1-0 in the final played in Antalya.
