Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made striking statements after the 2-1 victory against Göztepe. Buruk, who also spoke about transfer activities, made remarkable comments regarding Berke Özer and Ahmed Kutucu, who are currently in the spotlight, as well as İlkay Gündoğan. "WE COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER"Okan Buruk's statements are as follows; "Returning to the league after a break can sometimes be difficult. The match actually went as we expected. There is only one way to play for the opponent. It went as we thought. I didn't enjoy the match much. For a certain period, we played like our opponent, and our efficiency dropped. Göztepe plays their game very well. We gave only one chance in the first half, and a few chances in the second half. We could have been better in terms of production. TRANSFER COMMENTSTransfers start on the 13th. We have players we want to acquire, and there are also those who want to leave. Adding 3 players to the UEFA Europa League squad is very difficult. After Mauro Icardi's injury, we need a player who can play everywhere. We will position ourselves according to the players who will leave. We are having discussions. THE 11-POINT GAP WITH FENERBAHÇEThe gap with Fenerbahçe has increased to 11 points, but this race will continue. We must continue to protect our squad strongly. Our players received reactions from the stands. Such mistakes will happen, and we must support them. We need to look at the bigger picture and consider the good intentions. I always try to do this from the sidelines." AHMED KUTUCU, BERKE ÖZER STATEMENTMeanwhile, in the press conference held after the match, Okan Buruk also spoke about transfer rumors regarding specific names, stating, "We have not had any discussions with Eyüpspor regarding Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer." RESPONSE TO THE İLKAY GÜNDOĞAN QUESTIONIn response to a question about İlkay Gündoğan from Manchester City, the experienced coach said, "Every team wants İlkay Gündoğan. We all know he is a good Galatasaray player. If he wears a Galatasaray jersey one day, it will make everyone happy. He continues at Manchester City. It seems he will finish the season there. Gabriel Sara is also a quality player like him," he said.
