Galatasaray defeated Trabzonspor, which it hosted at home, in the 16th week of the Super League, 4-3. After this result, Galatasaray rose to 41 points, while Trabzonspor remained at 16 points. Okan Buruk, the coach of the yellow-red team, made a statement.
HERE ARE OKAN BURUK'S WORDS:
After such matches you say; It was amazing. The viewing pleasure was very high, there were many positions. It was a great match for those who watched. If you ask the two coaches, we are unhappy in terms of defense. We played bad defense. Both our toughness and our positioning… We took the lead 1-0, and while we were taking a throw-in, we lost the ball as there were too many people in the attack. We saw this a lot in the match. We got into easy positions. Our number of positions is very high. The positions we gave… We could have fallen behind 4-3 at the end of the match. Abdülkerim saved the very clear goal. For Abdülkerim, that touch was not on one of his good days, but it helped us win the match with that touch.
Galatasaray had a very difficult match. Our number of defensive players, the number of players returning from injury, we could use some of our players for 20-30 minutes. This is how we brought Jakobs and Osimhen into the game. We couldn't move Davinson at all, we couldn't risk him. It was a very difficult day for the squad. It was important to pass by winning. At the end of the day, we won.
The goal we conceded from a ball that went out… We thought the ball went out, but the news came. We saw that he was out during the match as well. We conceded a goal we didn't deserve. Afterwards, we got the reward of the goal we did not deserve with the last minute goal. We could have done better offensively, we could have scored more goals. Trabzonspor also showed its best offensive performance. They played very well. Ozan also provided support from the midfield. They played well. I congratulate them for their efforts and performance.
We continue on our way. We maintain the points difference. Such last minute goals increase self-confidence.
I think Mertens is an example to all other players. You never see this in Mertens; Someone who always thinks about his teammate. It is necessary to spread this to the whole team. There were places in the game where we thought individually. We need to highlight the team. This is what we want from our players. People expect goals and assists from attackers. People sometimes evaluate it that way. They think they are playing very well when it comes to goals and assists, but this is not the truth, the real game is to do whatever the game wants. We need to increase and spread it within ourselves. I am satisfied with the team's performance and wishes. We must do better. It was a tough day, but it was important to end it with a win.
Our fans supported us until the end of the match. We create incredible atmosphere with them. “Even though we fell behind 3-2, we came back quickly.”
