Uğur GÜLBOY – Serhan TÜRK / İSTANBUL
Galatasaray defeated the English team Tottenham, which it hosted in the 4th week match of the UEFA Europa League, 3-2. After the match, the center forward of the yellow-red team, Victor Osimhen, who scored 2 goals in the match, made a statement to the press.
The 25-year-old football player, who started his speech by congratulating his teammates, said, “This victory was a great success because it means something to us. We also thank the fans for their support. It is a pleasure to score 2 goals and contribute to the team. I have been very happy since I arrived. Galatasaray; Their fans and club are a very good family. I am happy with the care and attention they gave to my family and me. I want to give my best. There are rumors about whether I will go or not. I will be here until the end of the season. I don't know what will happen next. I don't know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about. If someone opposes me and says something, we will talk. Galatasaray is a beautiful club that I like very much. I'm here, I have to focus on the team and the matches. I want to be successful in the Super League and Europe. We have goals. I am having a very enjoyable time in Istanbul, and the same at the club. I have a very good relationship with the fans. I am also happy with the football I play. “I am happy here,” he said.
'THE IMPORTANT THING IS ALWAYS WINNING'
When reminded of the moments in which Galatasaray showed the UEFA cup won by Galatasaray in 2000 in the video in which his transfer was announced at the beginning of the season, Osimhen said, “That video was a surprise for me, too. I saw what a visionary club Galatasaray is. I saw that he had dreams. There was a UEFA cup there. A cup won before. Our coach and our team, as well as those working in the background, support us. We have to go match by match. I left the match because I was so tired. It was important that a new player came in and gave 100 percent. “The important thing is always victory,” he said.
'WE HAVE A CHANCE TO REALIZE THIS DREAM'
Underlining that the yellow-red team's squad is sufficient to win the UEFA Cup, the striker said, “We are at this level from the goalkeeper to the forward and our coach. I think it is possible to realize this dream. We have the performance we have given since the beginning of the season. We have to go match by match. “We have a chance to realize this dream,” he said.
'WE CREATED INCREDIBLE CHEMISTRY'
The Nigerian football player completed his speech with the following statements:
“I was training on my own. I had studies. It would be different when we worked together. It wasn't easy either. On the other hand, it had these conveniences. I knew what kind of actor Dries Mertens was. There are quality players in the team; Lucas Torreira, Gabriel Sara. It is important to adapt to them. We created incredible chemistry. “It's really thanks to my team that I performed so well.”
