Okan Buruk evaluates the pitch ahead of the Amed match

In the 11th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Galatasaray will host Amed Sportif Faaliyetler. Speaking in his pre-match remarks, head coach Okan Buruk said the opponent is a team that creates many chances and scores goals while conceding none. Buruk said his side has kept up this pace in consecutive matches and that their confidence grows with each win.

Buruk said that with Osimhen absent, the options are Deniz, Leao and Barış. Noting that Barış will play further forward in this match, Buruk said they will line up with three forwards: Diagne, Orban and Saba. He explained that they chose Jakobs because they need a quick defender, and his left foot was also a factor.

Speaking about the pitch, Buruk said they had done their part and renewed the surface. He said a very large amount of money was spent on the investment, but the desired result was not achieved from the company that renewed the grass. Stating that Galatasaray did everything it could but the expected result was not reached, Buruk said they would adapt to the pitch conditions during the match.

Buruk stressed that the match is one that must be won before the international break, and said the team wants to go into the break with good morale.
