We could have finished the match with better defense

Galatasaray drew 2-2 with Swedish representative Malmö, which it hosted in the 6th week of the UEFA Europa League. After the match, the coach of the yellow-reds, Okan Buruk, made a statement.

Okan Buruk’s statements are as follows:

“We had to finish the match”

“We didn’t play very well at the beginning of the match. We also talked at half-time. We couldn’t establish our own identity. We did what we wanted in the second half. We had the ball, we didn’t rush, we got into position, we took the lead. We came here very short and due to Davinson’s injury, fatigue, we made changes. The end We didn’t play well in the first half. We didn’t defend well. We made changes because Jelert had a sore foot. We didn’t have many options and we conceded a goal. We are sorry. We had to finish the match. We could have finished the match with better defense. We could not defend well in the last minutes.

“We want to be in the top 8”

“We are sorry. But of course we continue with an average of 2 points. From now on, we want to win the home match and the Ajax match and be in the top 8.”

“He wanted it to not get worse.”

“Davinson felt a pain in his foot. It did not continue. We will look into it. Jelert had fatigue pain. I do not think it is important. Davinson probably had a small pain. He wanted it not to get worse. In this difficult period, as the number of players decreases, things are getting harder for me.”

“We gave away the match we had with a last minute goal”

“It is a difficult period for us. We have many injuries. We saw the effects of this today. Hopefully, we will recover our players as soon as possible. Today’s draw and the last minute goal upset us. We continue our chance of being in the top 8 here. This is the positive side for us. We have the match in hand.” “We gave it away with a last minute goal.”

“Hakim Ziyech is our player”

“Hakim Ziyech is our player. He has the potential to play like everyone else in the next match.”
