Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made statements after the 3-1 victory against Konyaspor in the 6th week of the Super League.

"WE DIDN'T START THE MATCH VERY WELL"

Evaluating the match, Okan Buruk said, "We didn't start the match very well. I intervened from the sidelines to confront the opponent. In the first half, the opponent tried to press forward; we could have had more possession of the ball. We scored goals by solving the pressures. We prepared more clearly for the second half during the break. After going 3-0 up, our formation changed with substitutions. We switched to a formation close to 3-4-1-2. We wanted to see the players we have. In the last minutes, we didn't have defensive problems, but we did give shooting opportunities."

"WHAT MATTERS IS WINNING"

The young coach expressed that they were mentally tired, saying, "What mattered today was that we won. There was mental fatigue. An unexpected defeat away from home... There is a huge difference between the first half of the Frankfurt match and the first half of this match. While we weren't playing well here, we finished 2-0 up."

'THE POINT DIFFERENCE IS 6'

Speaking about the point difference, Okan Buruk said, "We increased the point difference to 6, which boosted our morale. We have matches against Alanyaspor, Liverpool, and then Beşiktaş. I believe we will play better in the next match with this morale. We have good players and a quality squad. For now, what is good is that we won and increased the point difference."

'WE KNEW HE COULD PLAY AS A NUMBER 10'

Speaking about Yunus Akgün, the successful coach commented, "We knew Yunus Akgün could play as a number 10. He did an important job. Yunus Akgün and Ismael Jakobs felt pain. That's why we took them out."

"THE WHOLE WORLD IS DOING THIS"

Regarding the rotation he implemented, Okan Buruk stated, "We will make rotations. Davinson especially played a lot of matches with the National Team. He came here and played. We rested him. Lemina is one of the players we use more sparingly. He sometimes struggles to play matches every four days. We are also managing him carefully. We brought Sara in from the bench today because he had an injury in his foot. These changes happen. The whole world is doing this."
