Batrakov compares Fenerbahçe on age: 'We don't have that situation here'

Galatasaray's 21-year-old Russian footballer Aleksey Batrakov spoke about the football environment in Turkey and the Süper Lig in an interview with Match TV in Russia. Batrakov said he was surprised by the number of star players in the squad, but that he could easily communicate with everyone.

The young player said he had worried that adapting to the team might be difficult, but playing in the same team as names like Osimhen and Leao did not create any problem for him. He also said he does not agree with the view that players coming to the Turkish League are at the end of their careers. Batrakov argued that this view is definitely not valid for Osimhen.

Batrakov stressed that Galatasaray's squad does not have a very high average age. Regarding Fenerbahçe, he said the players may be a little older and added: "We don't have that situation here."

The Russian footballer also touched on the performance of Mohamed Salah, who wears the Trabzonspor shirt. He said Salah had immediately started to prove his quality in the team, had already scored goals and was showing his efficiency.
