Why It Matters
In Galatasaray, intense competition in the midfield area and rotation discussions are on the agenda.
Okan Buruk made a remarkable assessment about the midfield, which has been one of the areas where the jersey competition has been most intense lately in Galatasaray.
İLKAY GAVE GÜNDOĞAN'S WIFE RIGHT
İlkay Gündoğan's wife, Sara Gündoğan, said in a dialogue with a fan on social media, "Ask his coach why İlkay is not playing." It was stated that Okan Buruk agreed with Sara, stating that he had difficulty giving everyone an opportunity in the rotation due to the crowd in the midfield.
"I WANT TO PLAY BUT I CAN'T PLAY"
It was claimed that Buruk said, "I am happy with İlkay's work, he does not give a negative impression in training. Since he plays in the region with the most players and we are going through a very competitive period, I cannot give time to the players I want to give time to. I want to play Lesley, I want to play Nhaga, I want to play İlkay too, but I cannot."
HE GOT ANGRY!
It was learned that Okan Hodja, despite the support message from President Dursun Özbek through his official website, there were people in his administration who did not want him, and he became even more ambitious towards them. The coach of the yellow-reds, who wants to take a holiday during the international break and analyze the next process with his team, is planning to gather the team together and get it back on its feet as soon as possible.
HE WILL HIT THE SCALPEL
The successful coach has also included taking a scalpel to the current squad among his options. It is predicted that out-of-form players such as Sane and Sara may be sidelined as of the Kasımpaşa match and alternative names may be put on the field. It was noted that Buruk regretted his decision to sideline Barış the most and that he would not give up on the national star.
