Galatasaray, who faced Beşiktaş in the Super Cup, was defeated with a score of 5-0. The team's coach, Okan Buruk, made remarkable statements after the match.
The experienced coach's statements are as follows;
"WE DIDN'T EXPECT SUCH A SCORE"
"We didn't expect such a defeat. We went out to win. I congratulate Beşiktaş, they deserved it. We applauded and congratulated them during the ceremony. It is appropriate for us to congratulate the winner. I think we set an example.
"THE RESPONSIBILITY IS MINE"
We had goals that were not counted in the first half. We were in the game in the first half but there was a decline after 2-0. We made a lot of mistakes! Did the substitutes perform better than the ones they replaced? I don't know. The first responsible is me. I talked to my players, we can say that this defeat is a lesson at the beginning of the season. I didn't feel something like this during the week. We played in a bad stadium. Everything is bad here but this is not an excuse.
"WE ARE THE FAVORITES FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP"
The league starts next week, and it was an opportunity to wake up. We also need to review ourselves. Sometimes when you reach high places, you can get used to the atmosphere there. We need to do better. We are not physically ready either. We are a strong team, we will stand up. We are the biggest candidate for the championship.
CRITICISM FOR ZAHA AND ZIYECH
We have difficulty in terms of production when Zaha and Ziyech are on the wings. We play a game on the sidelines and the game becomes one-on-one. Like the other teammates, his performance was also insufficient. We did not clearly display a good game."
