Galatasaray defeated İstanbulspor 3-1 at home in the 3rd week match of Ziraat Turkish Cup Group A. After the match, the coach of the yellow-reds, Okan Buruk, made a statement.
HERE ARE THOSE WORDS:
“These matches were very important for our players who were missing a match, we completed it today. Our new player Yaser stayed on the field for 90 minutes, he had a successful performance. We had the chance to play three of our young players alongside him. The only thing we were upset about was the collision between goalkeeper İsa and Ahmed. Other than that, the match went well.”
“Victor Osimhen was not a transfer that anyone could make in Türkiye! No one should misunderstand. It is not my place to protect the management or anyone. I want to tell this as the coach of Galatasaray and as a Galatasaray supporter.”
“Singo is important to us. We have many versatile players like Sallai. We use him in many positions. We can also use Sallai in different places when he is Singo.”
“It is the last day of the transfer. At the moment, two players have arrived. Two players who will lead us with quality and solve the match. We had a problem there. The load was on certain players. We were having problems with rotation and substitution. We achieved a significant transfer success. We made many searches for the midfield. Half-time transfer is not easy. You cannot get the players you want. Renato, we need to both invest and see for the future. We watched their matches. Hopefully, if the transfer is completed, we will have completed the transfer. Apart from that, we will have completed the transfer at the moment. “We have no transfers. We have expanded our squad. Lemina’s suspension is a disadvantage for us. We want to make the best of the good players we have, the players who have played these matches very well in Europe. We are better in terms of squad size than at the beginning of the season. Our only focus now is on success on the field, both in the league and in Europe.”
“An agreement has been reached for Can Armando Güler at the end of the season. Now, negotiations are being held so that he can come.”
“Altimira was one of the players we were interested in. The club decided not to replace him because they did not buy a player. This was 2-3 days ago. There is nothing right now.”
