Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk made 3 changes compared to the first 11 in the Sipay Bodrum FK match played in the 13th week of the Trendyol Super League.
The experienced coach could not benefit from Roland Sallai because his name was not on the UEFA list. Buruk did not include Kaan Ayhan and Metehan Baltacı, who were not in the squad due to injury, in the 11. Okan Buruk replaced these players with Davinson Sanchez, Victor Nelsson and Michy Batshuayi in the first 11.
OKAN BURUK DID NOT GIVE UP ON 3-4-1-2
Galatasaray, under the management of coach Okan Buruk, played this match with the 3-4-1-2 system used in the Sipay Bodrum FK match. The yellow-red team started the Elfsborg match in the 3rd week of the UEFA Europa League with a 3-4-1-2 formation, and also preferred this formation in the Tottenham and Sipay Bodrum FK matches. “Cimbom” did not break this formation against the Dutch representative AZ Alkmaar.
OSIMHEN AND BATSHUAYI AT THE FORWARD END
Coach Okan Buruk trusted the Osimhen-Batshuayi duo to score against AZ Alkmaar. The yellow-reds have previously played against Kasımpaşa, Elfsborg and Tottenham with the forward duo Osimhen-Icardi. After Icardi's injury, Okan Buruk gave a chance to Batshuayi, who scored a goal alongside Osimhen in the Sipay Bodrum FK match.
G.SARAY FANS DID NOT LEAVE THE TEAM ALONE
Yellow-red fans continued their support for the team at AFAS Stadium. In Galatasaray's second away match in the UEFA Europa League this season, the fans did not leave their team alone, just like in the RFS match.
The yellow-red fans gathered on the Paardenmarkt street of Alkmaar before the match and continued to support their team after arriving at the stadium.
