Reaction from Okan Buruk to TFF!

Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk, who defeated Gençlerbirliği 1-0 away in the 8th week of the Trendyol Super League, made a statement after the match.

"WE HAD TO CARE ABOUT THE OPPONENT, THE GROUND WAS VERY BAD"

We had to concentrate well without using the field, match traffic or the Champions League as an excuse. We had to care about the opponent. We showed a lot of our opponent's game last week. We started the match well, 10-15 minutes. We gave away too many chances at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half. It is a very bad ground, we can discuss whether it is possible to judge the players on this ground. There are too many bad performances. You won't use the field as an excuse when you can't do simpler things. If you cannot make a simple pass, if you are losing positions in defense and attack, you need to reconsider.

"THEY WERE MORE WILLING THAN US"

It is important to win such matches. An earlier goal could have changed the match. We need to congratulate our opponent for the positions he took. They wanted it more than us.

"TFF NEEDS TO INSPECT"

It was a difficult field with a high risk of injury. We suffered injuries because of the field. Playing matches on these fields is something to be discussed. The most important thing is inspection, TFF needs to inspect these fields. That's his job. Maybe TFF is not in a position to inspect right now, but it needs to inspect. It is a field that will harm the health of the players, not only Galatasaray but also Gençlerbirliği. We lost a player. There is a match in Europe in 3 days. The field should not be used as an excuse for the game, but the player's health should be used as an excuse. We are leaving here with 3 points without causing too many injuries.

"I WILL NOT MAKE THE FIELD AS AN EXCUSE"
