In the 12th week of Trendyol Super League, Galatasaray was the away guest of Kocaelispor.
The yellow-reds lost the match 1-0 and suffered a blow in the race for the top.
After the match, Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk answered the questions of the press members.
Regarding Argentinian star Mauro Icardi, whose performance was inadequate in the match, “Did Icardi meet your expectations?” Answering the question, Buruk stated that the Kocaelispor match was also unlucky for Icardi and that they played poorly as a team and said:
“I cannot criticize any of my players for their bad play today because we were bad as a team. This affects the performance of every player. We cannot blame this match on a player, attack or defense. We did not play very well in total. We did not play well in every region. Of course, the main responsible for this is the coach. If you cannot do good work on the field, the first person to blame is the coach. That is why I do not want to blame my players here for their performance today. They did better before, they will do better again.”
