In response to a Dutch journalist's words, "The storm ends tomorrow, you can be at ease," head coach Okan Buruk replied, "We already played a match in a stormy area last weekend."
"MERTENS IS GETTING YOUNGER EVERY YEAR"
The 51-year-old coach expressed his views about his players, saying, "Dries Mertens is getting younger every year. His contributions on and off the field are very important. Ziyech also made significant contributions to our championship. He had injuries, but he is doing his best to play. We love them very much and we appreciate them as players."
"THERE IS A CLAUSE IN ZIYECH'S CONTRACT"
Stating that there is a clause in Hakim Ziyech's contract, Buruk said, "We have a number of appearances for Hakim Ziyech, it was the same last year. If he fills the number of appearances, he continues for another year. He had an important role last year. He is working well, as long as he plays well, no one would want to let go of a player like him."
"WE HAVE A LOT OF VERSATILE PLAYERS"
Speaking about team planning, the experienced coach said, "We have a lot of versatile players. Yunus, Barış, Sallai... We have such a thought for tomorrow as well. This is also how it is used in the national team. We are thinking of using Yunus significantly in attack."
