Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Bad“Midtsjö is one of the players we are interested in and want. Talks about him are ongoing,” he said.
Expressing that he is happy with the wishes and desires of his players, Okan Buruk said, “We studied the game our opponent will play the day before. Even though very few teams play triple defense in our league, we studied how we can respond to this and how we can get into position. We reflected what we did yesterday on the field today. The tactical understanding that makes me most happy. Their applications, their wishes and desires, the pressure they put on the opponent and the positions we entered. I am very happy about that. Our next match is against Fiorentina. We will continue with the same seriousness. I clearly see that my players are getting stronger physically. This makes me happy. From a busy work schedule. “We got rid of that tiredness and a more dynamic and explosive team emerges. Also, I am glad that our players from the academy are on the field. I also got into the A team like them and played. It also makes me happy to see 6-7 players from the youth on the field,” he said.

“PHYSICALLY I SEE THE TEAM VERY WELL”
Stating that they formed a team that wants to win even if it is a friendly match, Buruk said, “Physically I saw the team very well. I see it very well in terms of concentration. Their attitudes towards each other in the camp, their relationships, sitting at the table more and sharing outside the field are also important to me. Every minute of this is important to me. “We have not completed our development yet, but I think we are in a better condition physically and psychologically. It is good to form a team that wants to win even if it is a friendly match. We will reflect this to the league,” he said.
“MİDTSJÖ IS ONE OF THE PLAYERS WE ARE INTERESTED IN AND WANTED”
Stating that they are interested in Midtsjö, who plays for AZ Alkmaar, Buruk said, “Midtsjö is one of the players we are interested in and we want. Discussions about him are ongoing. There are 1-2 other players we meet with him. It will be clear in a few days.”
“WE FOCUSED ON SUCCESS, LEAVING OUR LIVES TO A SIDE”
Stating that they could not bring every player they wanted in the transfer and that they did not fight in Europe, it created a disadvantage in the transfer, Buruk said:
“Our president and our board of directors give us all kinds of support. They do their best to make the transfers that the fans want. This is a chance for the Galatasaray community. They leave their own jobs and only think of Galatasaray. This sacrifice is very important. We also put our lives aside and focused on success. For this transfer It is very important, but you cannot bring every player. It’s not enough for you to want. Even if you give them what they want financially, Turkey is not their first choice. Not being in Europe is also a disadvantage for us. We struggle to get exactly what we want. Good, we want players that we are sure will contribute to us when they come. Therefore, the transfer process takes longer. We can also create players from among ourselves. Our youth players are playing. Our football players who have little time played today. This is how we will survive. We will get stronger with the coming players. We also trust the players we have, but we will also add players who will directly contribute to us. We need to add at least 3-4 players in the midfield, in the front, on the sidelines. We are aware of that.”
“PLAYERS WE NEVER EXPECTED CAN COME TO US AS OPPORTUNITIES”
Stating that opportunity transfers may come their way, Okan Buruk said, “This week is important for us. We will do what we can do in about 10 days. If we can’t, the transfer will continue until September 7. We will not leave it to the last day, but there may be many different options before us. It may come as an opportunity. We want to add 1-2 players to our missing places as soon as possible, but on the other hand, we are preparing the team and we are trying to make the best of our squad. I am satisfied with all of my players.”
“OUR HANDS ARE STRONG FOR THE TURKISH ROTATION”
Pointing out that his hands are strong in Turkish player rotation, Buruk said, “Barış Alper Yılmaz, Emre Kılınç, Oğulcan Çağlayan played very well. We saw all three of them ready in terms of wing alternatives. This is pleasing. They will become much better when the league starts. It was good for us in the Turkish rotation. Taylan played well today. Hamza Akman became an option for us. Metehan Baltacı is a young football player, but he plays in defense without a grin. I think Kazımcan Karataş also played well. I think we have a strong hand in terms of Turkish rotation. We need to improve,” he said.
“OUR PLAYERS DID THE BEST”
Stating that his players did their best in the friendly match, Okan Buruk said, “The number of matches was prepared beforehand, but maybe we could have played more matches. We could have given our players more time. There were players that I gave less time to. We have expectations from the players and we could see them with a higher number of matches. “I don’t want to make an evaluation, but our players did their best in the current squad,” he said.
“I WANT TO SEE ALL OUR PLAYERS”
Speaking about Luyindama, who was admitted to the Austrian camp one day late, Buruk concluded his words as follows:
“The players are our value. We want to make the most of them. We haven’t worked with Luyindama before. I will see him both in practice and in the friendlies. We were thinking about reinforcements to that area, but we haven’t decided yet. Luyindama’s league ended late. He came here a day late, too. “I want to see all our players. After that, we’ll decide.”
