Okan Buruk: The Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce Match Could Have Ended With a Much Different Score

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk spoke after the win over Fenerbahce. Buruk said that when he saw the opponent's starting XI before the match, he anticipated how they would set up defensively, and that his team spread out across the pitch.

Buruk noted that thanks in particular to the movement in the first half, there was a lot of space available. The coach, who said it was one of the best matches the team has played this season, pointed to clean passing between the lines. According to the head coach, the team got into many scoring positions and the score could have been much more different than it was.

Buruk acknowledged that the game changed somewhat after Fenerbahce scored, but stressed that his side kept creating chances. He thanked the fans for their support and said they did not give the opponent any opportunities. Buruk said winning the derby was pleasing, but that no trophy has been won yet and the next match will also be difficult.

Buruk also reminded everyone of Amedspor's position in the title race and congratulated their coach. He highlighted the development of young player Batrakov, saying the youngster has given more support to midfield and is improving every day.
