Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk, speaking after the match in which they defeated TÜMOSAN Konyaspor 4-0 in week 10 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, said, "My first goal is to become champions this year as well. To be successful in Europe again, but alongside that, to always keep the great Galatasaray fans' heads held high. That is, a team they are proud of is very important."
In the 10th week of the Trendyol Super League, Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk, whose team defeated TÜMOSAN Konyaspor 4-0, said they won by playing well. Buruk made statements at the press conference held at Konya Büyükşehir Stadium, where the match was played.
''WE INCREASED THE SCORE''
Explaining that the match went as they wanted, Buruk said, “Both the goals we found early and throughout the game—especially in the second half—we maintained the upper hand in play more. In the first half we also gave Konyaspor chances, but in the second half we increased the score without conceding too many chances.”
''IT MADE THE MATCH MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE''
Okan Buruk, noting that in addition to the victory they found the opportunity to give the players rest and a chance to play, said, “We had the chance to play our players who had played few matches. I am happy both because of the victory and because of the minutes we gave today. They tried to do more than their best. The early goals we found and the goal we scored at the start of the second half changed the match a lot. It made it a much more comfortable match. We are happy that we won.”
''WE WILL TRY TO INCREASE THIS''
To the question about the rise in the team's performance, Buruk emphasized that the adaptation of the transfers to the team and the players knowing each other were effective in this. Buruk, stating that winning is important to reach their goals in the Champions League, spoke as follows:
“One of the most important things here is the victories we have taken away from home in these last weeks. This pulled us up mentally. When all the players who start and continue make that sharing in the right way, it also becomes easier for you. Performances also increase. We will try to increase this. We will play more important matches. One is in the Champions League and the other is the Amedspor match on Saturday. We want to get through this one properly as well and go into the national break.”
''MY GOAL IS THE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR TOO''
Okan Buruk, touching on the fact that Galatasaray's success cannot be explained only by the transfers made, noted the following:
“My first goal is to be champions this year too. Again to be successful in Europe, but alongside that, to always make the great Galatasaray fans walk with their heads held high. In other words, a team they are proud of is very important. And you cannot do this with money alone. I mean, there are also many teams in the world that have failed trying this with money. This is a matter of chemistry. Everyone has a share in this. When all of us become a whole, we are very strong. We did this within these 4 years. Now I see that we have caught it again.”
''5 MATCHES ARE VERY IMPORTANT''
Buruk, stating that they want to continue improving the team's performance, said, “The Champions League is of course important for us. We showed this in the last match as well. If we want to set a target there too, the 5 matches until the last match are very important. Wherever this sends us—the first 24, the first 16—these matches are very important for those goals. We will play Stuttgart at home. If we win, it will be an important victory to move up and advance to the next round. So we dream of these victories. Of course, our fans are dreaming of it too, as we showed in the stadium.”
