One of the names that stood out in the match where Galatasaray and Eyüpspor drew 2-2 in the 14th week of the Super League was Berke Özer. Berke Özer, who frequently faced the crowd's reactions for wasting time during the match, was also criticized by Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk at the end of the game. "DRANK WATER 8 TIMES"In his statement, Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk noted that Berke drank too much water and wasted time, saying, "The game was constantly interrupted! It kept stopping. There was too much lying down. The added minutes were insufficient. There should have been extra time in both halves. We will get used to this. There are teams that use this with good intentions and those that use it with bad intentions. Our opponent is not acting in good faith. No one is standing up. Just as we are about to enter a position, two players lie down; just as we are about to enter, two players lie down. We got into a position; we should have scored. They do everything against us. If you are a good team, you need to overcome that as well. For the quality of this league, the referees need to apply this. Berke also made important saves. I commend his jumps in saves outside of the time he wasted. Berke drank water 8 times on the sidelines. He was constantly thirsty. The referee should have shown a card earlier. I congratulate him for his saves. We needed to score, but we couldn't," he said. UNEXPECTED RESPONSE FROM BERKEAfter the match, journalists waiting on the sidelines asked Berke Özer about Okan Buruk's reaction to "wasting time" as he was leaving the stadium. The young goalkeeper Berke Özer simply replied, "He spoke the truth," as he headed to the team bus.
