Vollkan Demirel gives a bombastic response to Okan Buruk, who complained about the grass length.

Last week, Bodrum FK, which could not escape the relegation zone after losing 1-0 at home to Galatasaray in the Trendyol Super League, made statements by head coach Volkan Demirel. Demirel responded to Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk, who complained about the length of the grass during the match.

RESPONSE TO OKAN BURUK'S WORDS: OUR GAME DISTURBED HIM

In response to Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk's statement after the match, "The grass at Bodrum Stadium was long and the field was not watered," Demirel said, "The length of the grass was normal. I don't know what Okan's intentions were with his statements after the match. He talked about both our stadium and the field. He said the field was not watered, but it rained that day. I think the length of the grass was quite suitable. I believe our game disturbed Okan a bit," he said.

"I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHER TEAMS THINK ABOUT US"

Volkan Demirel, who stated that they would put up a good fight against Samsunspor, said, "Last week, we really couldn't provide much productivity against Galatasaray, whether with 11 players or 10. However, they couldn't gain superiority over us either. The reason they couldn't gain superiority is that our game was good. I don't care much about what other teams think about us; everyone has their own opinion, and I respect that. There is still a long time until the Samsunspor match, and we are preparing. You will see good play and good struggle in this match as well. Over time, our good struggle will reflect in the scores, and there will be a Bodrum FK that makes everyone happy," he said.

THE GRASS WAS SHORTER THAN NORMAL

After Buruk's statements, the length of the grass was measured at the Grey Beton Bodrum Stadium, where Bodrum FK plays its matches. Following Okan Buruk's words, "There is no environment for football here. The grass has been left long, and the field was not watered before the match. Especially, calculations have been made to disrupt the game," the grass length measurement was conducted on the Bodrum FK stadium's field. The measurements revealed that the standard grass length of 2.4 cm was between 1.8 and 2 cm at the Bodrum FK stadium.
