“WE HAVE WON THIS CUP MANY TIMES BEFORE”
Evaluating the latest situation before the Super Cup semi-final match Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk used the following statements:
For us, the Super Cup is important and valuable. As Galatasaray, we have won this cup many times before. Every cup we work for is important. The two teams are going through difficult times this season. We have players who are in the African Cup of Nations. Due to the tempo of the league, there is a lot of match traffic. We sometimes have difficulty in establishing a squad due to injuries. This situation also applies to Trabzonspor. Two very good teams will compete. There is a Trabzonspor that had a successful season with a very successful coach. We also have goals in both Europe and Türkiye. I hope it will be a match where there are no injuries and the game is good.

“I TRUST MY PLAYERS”
Answering questions from members of the press Trabzonspor Coach Fatih Tekke said:
Galatasaray also had problems for a while. It can happen. Staff size was a bit of a problem for us. I would say that we would be in a difficult situation if 1-2 players were missing. I’m not interested in things I can’t change. Injuries happen. There are other players. You score a goal and your life changes. This game is like that. If you are on the staff, it doesn’t matter whether you are young or old. I trust my players.
