Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek: 'We took too many positions'

"WE HAVE TAKEN TOO MANY POSITIONS"

"It's a difficult match. We couldn't beat Kocaelispor in 2 matches last year, so psychologically we said we can't win today either. Goalkeeper saves, uncounted goals, positions... We got into a lot of positions. Our goal expectations, meetings in the opponent's penalty area, etc. were very good for a team that plays offense. The important thing was to throw the ball in."

"The opponent always played long balls from start to finish. There were 2-3 long balls after the 1-0 score. They were dangerous. In the end, we won. We finished the match well. Our leadership continues. Galatasaray has to win every match. 80 percent win rate) Sometimes we break records, without us knowing... This is the strength of Galatasaray, more than me. Our fans supported us. We broke records and won trophies with them. Our goal is to continue the same this season as well." to be able to."

DENİZ GÜL, LEAO AND BATRAKOV'S WORDS

"We used players who were new to the team, physical and unadapted. The performances of Leao and Deniz were good. This was also pleasing. Lesley did good work after joining. She was important. Batrakov entered, he was someone who played in the 8-10 levels there. Sara also played well, I just wanted to add an extra player who could break forward. The general desire and overall performance were on point."

OSIMHEN AND TRABZONSPOR

"Having Osimhen... This is not only a power in terms of a player, but also a psychological power to have him on the field. Playing with them is different. If it were today, there were 2-3 positions that he could have scored very easily. Deniz's performance was also good. The game with Osimhen, of course the pressure in attack and such a striker in the penalty area is very important. We are strong with Osimhen. We are strong without Osimhen, we have strong players. We are also looking for Osimhen. We played with a lot of pressure, but it is very important to have a finishing center forward. "I was also pleased with Deniz's performance."

"Trabzonspor lost this week. Their motivation will be high. They have a very good squad. Their only wish will be to win against Galatasaray. We will also prepare this week. Can our players return? If we can train Osimhen and Lemina, we will come out with a stronger squad."
