We will play against my former club, the biggest one. I am happy that this match is coming, it came early. I am happy, we have two days left. I feel happy when I see the people working there. I hope it will be a match without any accidents or troubles. The biggest in Turkey is coming, the champion. It will be a tough match. They have good players, a quality team. We want to do our best.

KEREM DEMİRBAY'S WORDS

Speaking about Galatasaray's midfielder and İlkay Gündoğan's transfer, Kerem Demirbay said, "İlkay brother is different; he knows my childhood. It is not my place to describe İlkay brother, to be honest. He has played for Manchester City, won the championship at Dortmund. He went to Barcelona, then returned to City, and came to Galatasaray. What he has done is evident. I love him very much. He is a real gentleman, a true brother. He is not someone who plays games. People will understand this very quickly. Galatasaray has acquired a true leader. I am glad he came to Turkey. It is a good thing for Turkish football. I am happy that he is here. I love İlkay brother," he said.
