Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk talked about the Fenerbahçe derby after the victory over Fatih Karagümrük. Buruk, playing on loan Angelino He also made statements about.

Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk, who beat Fatih Karagümrük 1-0 in the 17th week of Trendyol Super League, evaluated the match.

Buruk’s statements are as follows:

“Last year, at times, we did not give our 100 percent performance; But we played matches that we won. This match took me back to last year. We had to play the game faster at the beginning of the match. Our opponent played bravely. A team with good feet. “They did a good job with the ball.”

“The most important scenario for us was to score the second goal after the first goal and finish the match. We made moves for that too. We took positions, but we could not get the results we wanted from them. Last passes, last shots, options… We should have had more mobility. Our opponent was more active. Our defense sagged. One of the biggest problems for us was the defense retreating. Galatasaray is a team that plays the game ahead, presses and narrows the field. As the defense moved back, the distance between blocks became longer. “We couldn’t make our opponent feel our pressure too much in the second half.”

“We could have scored the second goal, but the match could have been tied at 1-1. I would like to congratulate Karagümrük for the game they played. We have the power to do better. It is sometimes difficult to play such matches. There are thoughts such as not getting hurt or not getting a card in the upcoming derby. “We won and we continue to win.”

Derby description

“Two teams with the same points will play a match next week. We need to go above and beyond this game. Two good teams. Both teams are breaking records this year. A good match awaits us. Our goal is to win away matches, as in every match. Our shortcomings, Sergio. He had surgery and will not be on the field. We’ll look at Davinson’s situation. Other than that, we have no card penalties or deficiencies. We want to be the leader in the league again by going out and winning with the good squad we have. Both teams will want to win. Everyone expects good football. Our aim with our game is to return by winning. We all know it will be a difficult match. Hopefully it will be good for us. We came back from there winning last year. The morale of this was very different for us. Again, our goal is to win.”

When asked about Angelino’s future, our coach said, “We were not going to use him today. We didn’t think about him being in the squad. He trains with us. Very good character and professional. He did his work today too. We will make our overall decision about the transfer after next week. “That’s our current thinking for this match.” he replied.
