Galatasaray's Nigerian player Victor Osimhen spoke at the end of the Fenerbahçe derby. Expressing his happiness with the victory, Osimhen said, 'We fought very well in the last 3 training sessions. They were even more intense, more demanding, and more exhausting than this match. We didn't get very tired in this game. We were actually getting more tired during training.'
Victor Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray, made a statement after the 3-0 derby win against Fenerbahce in the 31st week of the Super League.
"THEY DID A GREAT JOB"
Thanking the Galatasaray medical team, Victor Osimhen said, "I thank Doctor Yener and the medical team. They did a great job. It was impossible for me to return 100%, but they prepared me psychologically very well. We fought well as a team. We disappointed our fans in the cup. I am proud of my team's performance and happy with the victory."
"WE SHOWED HOW WE ARE"
Evaluating the match, the star player said, "As in every derby... You know, I can score against any team. That's my job. I do this job well. We must congratulate the team; we showed how ready we are. We got one step closer to our championship goal. Personally, I think it doesn't matter much; Samsunspor is a quality opponent. We will want to win every match from now on. To finish the season well, we will respect every opponent and want to win every match. Samsunspor is a tough opponent, but we will do our best."
''I DON'T UNDERSTAND THESE PEOPLE''
Speaking about Fenerbahce's objection regarding the equipment on his arm, the Nigerian striker said, "Personally, I don't look at the internet much. When I came to the facility, someone from the club mentioned it (the objection about the protective equipment I use). I don't understand these people. They are going to compete against the best team in the league, but they complain about this. I scored my goal, did my job, and gave my best. That's what matters to me."
"WE WERE GETTING MORE TIRED EVEN IN TRAINING"
Victor Osimhen concluded his words by saying, "After losing in the cup, we needed to prepare more ambitiously. We talked in the locker room, said this match is over, and motivated ourselves. Our coach also motivated us. We fought very well in the last 3 training sessions. The trainings were more ambitious, more eager, and more tiring than this match. We didn't get very tired in this match. We were getting more tired even in training. I say this with all respect to the opponent; we got less tired in this match than in training. As Galatasaray, we want to continue this way until the end of the season."
