Batrakov Shares His First Impressions at Galatasaray

Galatasaray's 21-year-old player Aleksey Batrakov shared his first impressions of the Süper Lig in an interview with Match TV. Saying he was very surprised by the number of star players in the squad in his first days at the club, Batrakov added that he was able to communicate easily with everyone.

Batrakov said that the thing he worried about most during his adaptation to the team was fitting in, and stated that he had no problems with names such as Osimhen and Leao.

Batrakov argued that world stars who choose Turkey have not come only to finish their careers. Stressing that Osimhen is a warrior, Batrakov noted that the average age of the Galatasaray squad is not very high, while the players at Fenerbahçe may be somewhat older.

Referring to Salah, Batrakov said that the player who transferred to Trabzonspor may have come to Turkey at the end of his career. However, he added that Salah showed his quality at Trabzonspor right away and scored goals.

Aleksey Batrakov has played 13 matches for Galatasaray so far. In these matches, he has produced a performance of 6 goals and 4 assists.
