Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk spoke before the Dynamo Kyiv match.
Okan Buruk said, “As a country, we were shaken by a great disaster. We are suffering from the pain of the people we lost and died in the fire in Bolu. I hope we will never experience such things again. I hope it will be a great lesson for us. We are very sorry.” he said.
The successful coach said about the match, “European cup. If you are playing in this cup, you know that no match is easy. We must pay great attention to the opponent without looking at the past matches too much. They are the leader of the Ukrainian League, they have not lost a match. It is a dangerous team. We must do the team defense much better. It is effective in attack.” It is a team that has good finishing skills and effective players on the wings. But it is a team that disperses quickly after scoring goals in Europe. “We need to dominate. We need to play simply, quickly and vertically. When you do this, results will come. I believe and trust in my players. I hope it will be a good match for us.” he said.
-Speaking about player choices, Okan Buruk said, “We have a starting formation. We have formations that we can change during the game. We will start with a 4-man defense. Line-ups can sometimes change. Berkan played for 90 minutes a match ago, and he played well after moving to the back. Berkan is in the pressure at the front. The pressure he will make is important. We will use it in the pressure. I am also happy with Kerem’s performance. Kerem was also effective last week. We will use both of them. We can also change the formation, but this is our start. We have good players on the bench. We have to improve their performance. I hope we can do this well today. Sallai is not there today. But he is one of the players who will be with us at the weekend. But our first job is to win today’s match.” he used his words.
