– “Transfer does not happen only with your request”
Answering the question about the half-time transfer period, Okan Buruk underlined that they have very good players in the squad.
Stating that the first 11 and the names that will be on the bench against Fenerbahçe are very important football players, Buruk said, “In this period, 2 of our players; Osimhen and Jakobs are in the African Cup. Also, Singo will not be with the team tomorrow. Our transfer work continues. The transfer does not happen only at your request. You will either have to pay very high money or you have to choose players who will have an easier time with the contract. We think that we need a little more time since we cannot play the new transfers in the Champions League. So, we want to use the time correctly. For me “This season will be difficult. We will play the matches and make decisions regarding the transfer. Our president and board member Abdullah Kavukcu is working on this matter. We will add the players we want to the squad as soon as possible. We have very good players both in the starting 11 and on the bench tomorrow.” he said.
Okan Buruk added that it was positive that the time of the match to be played tomorrow was postponed and said:
“The fact that it is at a time when the wind is less will make the game go more normally. We did not think much about the weather. We prepared according to which stadium we played in so far. We focused on the 11 who will appear, start and play the match. We have a team that loves derbies, not only as a coach but also as a player. We have a good group of players. We sometimes see their performance in these matches in the Champions League. We are making our plans. Our player quality is very suitable for playing these derbies and we win these derbies thanks to good players.”
