Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made statements following the 5-1 victory against Eyüpspor. Commenting on the Juventus match and Kenan Yıldız, Buruk said, "Juventus is not a team with very high self-confidence. They will play against Inter; how will they come out of that? The Inter match will not be a measure, but we will see who will play and who won't. They have very good wingers up front, Kenan Yıldız is very valuable."
Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made statements following the 5-1 victory against Eyüpspor in the Super League.
"WE PLAYED WITH TWO FORWARDS"
Evaluating the match, Okan Buruk said, "We started the game with an early goal, and that was important. There were areas where we couldn't establish superiority in the game; we could have played better there. After going 2-0 up, the opponent was left with 10 men, and the game became very different. Overall, we were eager, and we made many substitutions. Despite so many changes, everyone who came in was eager. Icardi's 3 goals, Osimhen's 2 assists... There are many positive things. We played with two forwards. Unfortunately, we used them in the Kocaelispor match, and it left the impression that Osimhen and Icardi couldn't play together."
'BOEY, SINGO, NHAGA'
The experienced coach evaluated his players, stating, "Sacha Boey has a lot of match deficiencies. Wilfried Singo played for 45 minutes. Renato Nhaga came in, and our fans supported him a lot."
"KENAN IS VERY VALUABLE"
Evaluating Juventus, Okan Buruk noted that Kenan Yıldız is also a very valuable player, saying, "We will prepare for Juventus. A very different match and a very strong opponent await us. You know what Atletico Madrid plays, but Juventus has very different formats. They have players who are not easy to calculate. They have very good wingers up front, and Kenan Yıldız is very valuable. They don't give away easy positions. In recent matches, they conceded goals, but in the matches against Atalanta and Lazio, they conceded unlucky goals while having the game superiority."
"NOT A TEAM WITH VERY HIGH SELF-CONFIDENCE"
Finally, Okan Buruk stated, "They are not a team with very high self-confidence. They will play against Inter; how will they come out of that? The Inter match will not be a measure, but we will see who will play and who won't. It will be a well-footed match, and we will think like that. Our goal will be to surpass Juventus."
