Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk spoke after the match in which they defeated Kayserispor 4-0.

Here are Okan Buruk’s words;

We are in a period where we need to be very positive. We continue in the Champions League, we are leaders in the league, we won two matches in the cup. There’s a lot to be positive about. Today’s game brought the positivity up. Not just a 4-0 victory, but just the game, the desire… A concentrated game after the Champions League match was important.

WE CREATE STAFF DEPTH

Let’s motivate the football players not only in the stadium, but also on social media and on the street. We have a beautiful road ahead of us. The performance of the new ones was positive. We did not have very important players, such as Barış and Sane, but they are the ones who both started and continued, and we are generally creating the depth of the squad. This will increase Galatasaray’s success.

STATEMENT OF MAURO ICARDI

Nothing came to me. Whether it came to our managers, there is nothing clear that I know of. Mauro Icardi is valuable and important to us. He contributed in terms of goals when he played. We know how valuable he is to our community every time he enters the field, every time he starts. He also equaled a record today. It shows how valuable he is to Galatasaray. We are happy to have it here. He contributed to the championships. If Galatasaray is in this situation today, it is due to his incredible efforts. We received nothing. There is nothing for us to do. We think he will continue with us.

TRANSFER YANITI

Whatever player we put our hands on, they say 15-20 million euros. We are not the only ones saying this. Both Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor speak the same way. In this period when money is rising incredibly, sometimes you cannot keep your staff large due to these financial difficulties. We bought two good players. Hopefully, if we buy one more player, we will close the transfer.
