In these environments, both teams can easily get motivated. Therefore, we want to focus on the match in a motivated way. We have our own style of play, but we have also made plans according to the opponent's situation, and we do so during the match as well. A match with high competitive intensity and a challenging game in terms of play awaits us. Trabzonspor is also a good team as a whole and especially in terms of attack. We are the same; we want to win the cup with a good performance," he said.

"IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME"

Speaking about the Gaziantep Stadium where the match will be played, Buruk said, "I worked in Gaziantep for 1 year before. That is why playing here is important for me. I hope it will be a beautiful match tomorrow. And I hope we are the winning side. We will play in a very beautiful stadium. The stadium was under construction when I was here," he stated.
