Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made statements after the Göztepe match. Stating that the starting lineups were leaked and that there is a traitor in the club, Buruk said, "It is unacceptable that a journalist named Kaya Temel constantly receives inside information and our starting eleven is shared outside. I respect journalism, but what has been done is an open betrayal against the Galatasaray team."
Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk spoke after the 2-1 victory against Göztepe in the postponed week of the Super League. Okan Buruk, who revealed that there are traitors within the club, said, "There are traitors among us who leak information that should remain confidential about the team, harming Galatasaray, and we will definitely find these individuals and produce the necessary solution."
''THERE ARE TRAITORS AMONG US''
Expressing his discomfort regarding the leaked match lineups, Buruk stated, "There is a very important issue that I want to address. As media members, you closely follow Galatasaray, but we are greatly disturbed by someone from within constantly leaking the match lineups. During this process, there are even attempts to blame players like Metehan, who have not been in the team for a long time. It is unacceptable that a journalist named Kaya Temel constantly receives information from inside and our starting eleven is being leaked. I respect journalism, but what is being done is an open betrayal against the Galatasaray team. Our opponents prepare based on these leaked lineups and gain an unfair advantage. Even a lineup that is impossible to predict, like today's, was leaked before the match." he said.
''WE WILL DETERMINE WHO BETRAYED US FROM WITHIN''
Continuing his words, the successful coach said, "I understand the predicted lineups, but the weekly leaking of our clear starting eleven, including European matches, indicates a significant problem inside. We will discuss this issue in detail with our team and players. We will identify who has betrayed us from within and who has leaked the team's secrets, and we will take the necessary precautions. To prevent our opponents from gaining information, we will not try the starting lineup in the last training sessions if necessary. There are traitors among us who leak information that should remain confidential about the team, harming Galatasaray, and we will definitely find these individuals and produce the necessary solution," he concluded.
