Galatasaray Head Coach Okan Buruk spoke after the 2-0 victory against Eyüpspor in the 5th week of the Super League.
"LET IT BE A GIFT TO UĞURCAN"
Starting his words with Uğurcan Çakır, Okan Buruk said, "First of all, let's dedicate this victory to Uğurcan. He lost his nephew a few days ago. I also wish my condolences to his family."
"IMPORTANT FOR US"
Evaluating the match, Okan Buruk stated, "It was a tough match, I said that before the game. Both a daytime match and the Olympic Stadium. This stadium is a difficult stadium. Very bad for watching. It's a very tough stadium, playing here is very hard. Maybe they can fix this somehow. Looking at the overall match, we had the ball more, but we might have produced less. We produced less in the first half. We produced more in the second half. After the player substitutions, Ahmed's combination play with Icardi led to the goal. Afterwards, we found positions. We played against a good team. We played against a team with good players. We are happy to have won, and we will continue on our way. Continuing without conceding a goal is also important for us."
OSIMHEN'S CONDITION
Speaking about the injured Osimhen, the successful coach said, "Osimhen's condition will be clear in a few days. We think he will play. He has some pain, we will see if he can play with them."
"I PLANNED IT SPECIFICALLY"
Continuing his words, Okan Buruk said, "I was planning to keep Icardi shorter. He is not a hundred percent ready, but he is getting better as he gets more time. I wanted to keep him shorter, but because we needed a goal, I extended his time. I also kept İlkay in the same way. I was thinking of taking him out too. He is a bit behind the team because he hasn't played fully. Barış played for the first time in two weeks. I specifically planned for him as well. We used him later in the match. He will be ready for the next match."
"I TRIED TO PROTECT HIM"
Finally, the young coach said, "We were thinking whether to play Davinson or not. I tried to protect him with a substitution as well. Overall, I am pleased with the performance of my players."
