Galatasaray Head Coach Okan Buruk made striking statements at the press conference held before their away match against Rigas Skola in the second week of the UEFA Europa League. Buruk also responded to the harsh words directed at him by Fenerbahçe's vice president and his friend Acun Ilıcalı.

"WE RESPECT OUR RIVAL"

Okan Buruk's statements are as follows;

"This is an important match for us. We have great respect for our opponent. They have important players. We have seen what they do tactically. They are a team that will defend well. In the last Bucharest match, they tried to play with a crowded defense. Our goal is to continue on our path by winning here. We have rested and prepared. We will do our best with our players.

"INTERESTING THINGS HAVE STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN"

Interesting things have started to happen again. It is very strange that both I and Batshuayi have been referred to the PFDK. If I had a dialogue with the referee, he would have given a card. There is nothing in the corridor. There is no card on the field. The information I received was that Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe officials went to the Federation to have discussions starting from Sunday. I didn't believe this, but when we looked yesterday, such a penalty referral was announced. For me to threaten the referee, he needs to be in front of me.

"I TRUST TFF"

These are conversations without a front or back on camera. It is not clear which one you are talking about. Even saying something to yourself will come out as a penalty clause. This applies to every team. In a situation where the referee does not hear me, you cannot refer me based on this footage. This is against the law. I trust TFF. Whatever decision is made, I respect it. If those who do not want me on the field and want to make this decision are also allowed, I have my team, my players, and our fans.

"WE SHOWED WHO IS GOOD 10 DAYS AGO"

We are still friends with Acun Ilıcalı. He fights for Fenerbahçe's rights, and I fight for Galatasaray's rights. We showed how good a team we are 10 days ago. We showed them very important players. We stayed on the field, we played on the field, and it seems very funny to me that we are returning to the same files as last year in such a short time. There is a match we played very recently. If it weren't for the wrong penalty given by Atilla Karaoğlan after 3-0, we would have seen a much bigger score. After this, three very important teams will compete for the championship. Trabzonspor is also coming from behind. There have been referee mistakes against Trabzonspor as well. We play our matches without saying these things. There will be important teams in this competition.

"IT'S EARLY TO GO CHANNEL TO CHANNEL"

I don't think it's right to mislead Fenerbahçe fans in a different way, not to say deceive them, but to guide them differently. Both teams have important squads. The competition may continue among 5 teams. I think it's too early to go channel to channel like this.

"WE WILL PLAY WITH OUR BEST PLAYERS"

We want to play this match with our best players. We respect our opponent. They are a team that is effective at home and the champion of the last two years in their league. We plan to come out with our best squad to beat them."
