Galatasaray Football A Team Coach Okan Buruk made an evaluation with the publisher penny after our Antalyaspor victory in the Super League.
Okan Buruk, who has the title of being the only coach who has won 12 official matches in Galatasaray after 1959, is as follows:
“WE DESERVE TO WIN”
“We were the dominant team in the first half. Our opponent tried to come out with long balls. They tried to play the second ball. They tried running behind the defense. That’s how they got into positions. We were the dominant side. We were the team that produced more in the second half, played on the opponent’s field and ruled the game. Positions and goals in this section brought us the victory. Our opponent was a more compact team defensively compared to the previous matches. The lack of a lot in the team, the entry of new players increases their ambition and dynamism. We have seen their ambitions clearly today. Our opponent fought well. At the end of the day, I think we deserve to win. We had a chance to play 3-1 or 4-1 like in previous games. We didn’t finish early.”
“WE WIN THIS SUCCESS TOGETHER”
“It would be more accurate to describe it as the technical man at the beginning of this period. I’m not winning games here alone. My players are primarily on the field… Our team, our management and our audience have a big share. Our audience was amazing again today. Some of our fans prevented them from coming to the match, but those who came to replace them were also great. We have experienced this success together, we are living together. Hopefully it will be a championship. This is our target. I am also the coach of this period. I am the first one among the stakeholders, but we win the matches as a community. We are united as a community. If we live this happiness, we live together.”
“WE HAVE VERY GOOD CENTRALS”
“In matches, the striker usually prepares a position, but a few matches Icardi prepared a position for his friends. Talk about it todaylwe had a job. From time to time he got the ball. Sometimes during the game Icardi went and touched the ball. His role in passing traffic was important in the second half. This helped to relax the match, to keep the ball in our hands more and to enter the penalty area more easily. More middle will come to him, the ball will come. Together with Gomis, we have very good strikers. Today, I regret not being able to give Gomis time. When they both play, they do their best. If we bring them more balls, our score will be higher.”
“MEMBERSHIP WAS VERY IMPORTANT”
“This term, our chairman, Ayhan Hoca, promised us both membership in January. Thank you. Membership was very important to me. The club where I started football is Galatasaray. I started playing football here at the age of 11. The best days of my life were spent here as a football player. Gaining this membership means serving not only as a football player and coach, but also in the general assembly. This is also very important to me. I would like to thank our President and Board of Directors once again.”
“Our transfer work continues. Today we focused on the match, not the transfer. In our two-day gap, we will prepare more accurately about them.”
