Okan Buruk: Our Goal Is a 5th Title and Success in Europe

Galatasaray won three points by beating visiting TÜMOSAN Konyaspor 4-0 in Week 10 of the Trendyol Süper Lig. Speaking after the match, head coach Okan Buruk said that every win gives the team more confidence for the next game.

Buruk said he did not think his players would have an easy time against Konyaspor. The coach noted that the set piece and the early goal made the task easier, and explained that in the second half they secured the win without giving the opponent any chances. Pointing to the importance of not overusing players during a busy fixture schedule, Buruk said they made early substitutions because of injury risks, and that the players whose minutes they increased performed well.

Stressing that the Champions League is of great importance to the club, Buruk said they would play critical matches for a place in the top 24 and the round of 16. The coach said a win against Stuttgart would be valuable for the next round, and stated that the approach shown against Barcelona would be maintained against every opponent.

Buruk said his goal is a 5th championship and success in Europe. The coach said he wants to make the fans hold their heads high, and stressed the importance of the team staying united. Arguing that money cannot buy everything, Buruk said the structure built over four years has been regained and that the club is on the rise.
