Okan Buruk: Galatasaray's success is a matter of chemistry

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk made statements after the victory over Tümosan Konyaspor. Buruk said every win creates confidence for the next match and stressed that his players did not underestimate the opponent. He said the set-piece goal scored early eased the match.

Buruk explained that in the second half they pushed forward more against the opponent's goal and increased their goal-scoring chances. He said he found it positive that they closed out the match without conceding. Saying he was pleased with the team's performance, Buruk noted that the four players in attack had scored, so their individual performances stood out. However, he said he was happy with the contribution of all the players who started in the starting XI and those who came on later.

Speaking about Leao, Buruk said the player is not yet fully ready and that, because of the injuries he has suffered, he was at times forced to play. He said the wing rotation of Yunus, Barış, Sane and Leao is important for the team.

Buruk shared his satisfaction at giving playing time to players who have had few appearances. Touching on the importance of winning to reach the Champions League goal, Buruk reminded that the Stuttgart match will be played at their own ground and that they will face Amedspor on Saturday. Saying that, alongside championship and European targets, he wants to build a team that fans will be proud of, Buruk stressed that this cannot be achieved with money alone and that team chemistry is decisive.
