Galatasaray continued its undefeated path by defeating Tottenham 3-2 in the 4th week of the UEFA Europa League.
Yellow-reds coach Okan Buruk made evaluations after the victory.
Buruk’s statements are as follows:
Today we started with a brave decision. Since it was Bay Week, we had the chance to prepare for 10 days. We matched very well in the game. We did more than just win. The opponent had difficulties in the match-ups when there were only 10 players left. In the second half, they scored a goal in their only possession. In total, they scored 2 goals on 4-5 shots. With everything we did, he gave the statistics that Tottenham gave.
“WE PUT PRESSURE ON THE OPPONENT WITH OUR FANS”
I am proud of my players and Galatasaray fans. We put the pressure on the opponent together. It was the best pressure a team made against the English team in the history of Turkish Football.
“WE COULD HAVE REACHED 7-8 GOALS”
We could have scored 7-8 goals in the second half. There was fatigue. We changed Mertens. Afterwards, we wanted to go out to Osimhen. Mauro had an injury. We should have scored the 4th goal. An important night for Turkish football history.
“WE SHOWED WHAT THE QUALITY OF THE TURKISH LEAGUE IS”
We showed what the quality of the Turkish League is. Beşiktaş won yesterday, they beat Lyon in the previous match.
We cannot forget the success of Turkish teams. Sometimes we insult too much. We want to present it to the Turkish people. “We need to do our job well, we need to talk on the field, not off the field.”
