After the match ended with the 4-3 victory of the English team Hull City, Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk answered the questions of the press members. Buruk said, “Today we started the game like champion Galatasaray and played like champion Galatasaray in the first half. We entered halftime with a very clear score. We played your sequel last year. This was important to us. My players, especially the starting squad, took the match very seriously. We made a lot of changes in the second half. We also gave young players a chance. Some have used it, some have not, but they have a very long time ahead of them. It’s been an experience. We don’t think much about the results of the friendly matches. As long as we continue the game in the first half, this year will be the benchmark for us. It’s greed and desire. The fans here were also great. I want to thank our fans who came to the match. They created an ambiance like our own stadium. It was an amazing match. As a result, there will be goals we conceded, mistakes we made, of course, but the important thing for us is the game we put forward in the first half. We’re going to spread that out to longer minutes as well. In today’s plan; We didn’t want to give our players too long. We tried to keep their time short. Our early change and our desire to protect are also factors that lead to the score. We don’t get too attached to it. The important thing is the game we put forward at the beginning of the match,” he said.
“We will announce the players who will not come to the camp tomorrow or the next day”

When asked about the team returning from the holiday, Okan Buruk said, “The friendly match is a measure for us, for squad planning. Our players, who will not continue and will not come to the camp with us, will continue to work here. We’ll let you know the day after tomorrow. The game at the beginning of the match did not look like a team that had come from vacation. Many of our players came very ready in the tests. It was the result we expected, especially today. Concentration was very high. In the second half we played a lot of back passes, we played slowly, we had a lot of turnovers. Meanwhile, concentration also dropped. A lot of changes in the squad, players who were not with us last year also took part in the field. He also slightly lowered the quality of the game and the performance of some players,” he replied.
Explained the status of the players

Buruk also shared his opinion on whether opening the season early will cause concerns for the middle of the season, saying, “Playing many matches can wear out the players psychologically, but it depends on how you prepare yourself. If the players have a mental structure, they can handle it correctly. In addition to that, a larger staff and more player circulation may be for us this year. We didn’t do much last year, but we will try to do it this year. We will form this staff. Today, our players from last year did a good job. Emre Kılınç had a minor injury, he was not included in the squad today. We had a shortage in the wing, we had trouble on the left. Yusuf Demir had pain in his foot yesterday, he said he could not play in today’s match. He practiced in the morning, tried it. It’s not very important, but we couldn’t play it today. Is it his destiny, what can we say, he has an injury when he will play. Hopefully we can use him in the next practice matches. In general, we did good things up to a certain minute in terms of understanding and performance,” he said.
“We haven’t made a clear decision about the goalkeeper, we are looking at the next options”
Regarding the evaluation of today’s match regarding his search for the goalkeeper, Buruk said, “Batuhan was not touched by the ball. He never fell to the ground. There were no chances in the first half. We did not have a chance to evaluate it as a game. He performed well in Karagümrük last year. Cankat was also unlucky. After entering, the team lost a lot of balls. Cankat’s play may also be beneficial for us this year. If we get a goalkeeper, we can evaluate Batuhan to play. Goalkeepers improve as they play. We haven’t made a clear decision yet. “We are looking at the next options,” he said.
“We want Icardi to be with us as soon as possible”

On the latest situation regarding the transfer and Icardi, Okan Buruk said, “In general, we always say it. The process continues. I don’t know how long it will last. Our president, our board of directors is firmly determined. Erdem Bey is carrying out important work. We want them to be with us as soon as possible. The longer the vacation, the shorter the player’s preparation time for the match. We’re losing that time. Players will suffer physically as the vacation gets longer. This is what we expect, what I expect, as soon as possible. There’s a lot of effort involved. Hopefully new transfers will come. We will also start using our national players. Lucas has a minor injury and will have an MRI tomorrow. In general, our table is not bad. We are waiting for the players, they will come, but the squad we have is also good. We showed this at the beginning of the game. Many of our national players will also play in the coming days. We are lacking especially in the striker area. This is the biggest problem we will face in this period. He is not accustomed to playing alone, as Barış originally played a double there. Today he played alone and tried to do his best. We have the peace option. We don’t have a big problem, but as the players come, we will be happier and we will become stronger psychologically,” he said.
