BARIŞ ALPER JOINED THE TEAM
According to TRT Spor, Barış Alper joined the team during the regeneration training held this morning after returning from Kayseri and participated in the training.
OKAN BURUK HAD SUPPORTED HIM
After the match against Kayserispor played last night, Okan Buruk spoke about Barış Alper, saying, "Barış is valuable, special. I love him very much. He has put in a lot of effort, and Galatasaray has also invested a lot in him. There are many misunderstandings. He is a young player and can make mistakes. Barış is valuable to us. He is a national player. We need to embrace Barış. Mistakes and errors can happen. We need to know that Barış does not have bad intentions. If Barış had bad intentions, he wouldn't have played in both matches. We do not forget his contributions. We talked to Barış. We tried to manage the process correctly. It is both our and his wish... There is confusion. It was also important that this did not reflect on the team. We also separated Barış from the team. It could have harmed his teammates as well. We prevented that. Barış has provided significant services to Galatasaray. Let's not forget this," he had supported the star player.
