Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk has prepared the game plan against Manchester City. Galatasaray aims to force Manchester City into mistakes with high pressing on their home ground.
In the 8th week match of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray will visit Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, away from home. Galatasaray, which has previously defeated English teams Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham, has a surprise plan from Okan Buruk against Manchester City.
HIGH PRESSURE AGAINST CITY
Galatasaray aims to force their opponent into mistakes instead of accepting the game in their own half against Manchester City. The yellow-reds want to wear down their opponent with high pressing. Okan Buruk, who will apply intense pressure on the English team, is focusing on the problems City has been experiencing, especially in defense.
STRUGGLING WITH SET PIECES
One of the most important points highlighted by Okan Buruk is the difficulties Manchester City may face with set pieces. It has been learned that Buruk emphasized the importance of crosses to Victor Osimhen and requested Barış Alper and Leroy Sane to occasionally switch sides to make it easier for them to deliver crosses. Thus, it was reported that Barış would be on the right, while Sane would be on the left, making it easier to connect Osimhen with the ball.
