Okan Buruk's post-match assessment: Our path is clear

In the Süper Lig, Galatasaray defeated Çaykur Rizespor 6-2 at home, raising their points total to 78.

Following the match, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk evaluated the contest.

AN IMPORTANT VICTORY

Regarding the match, Okan Buruk said, "I said it before the match, it is a very important encounter. A more difficult match will await us every week. The start of the match was good. We finished the first half with a good score of 4-1. In terms of result and score, 6-2 is an important victory. It is important that the players maintained the same concentration from the beginning to the end of the match. We started with Berkan at center-back; the reason was that we did not have our original center-backs. I used him there because I directly trust Berkan. He provided positive support to the team. Overall, we secured an important victory in a match where we had deficiencies in terms of defense."

"OUR PATH IS CLEAR, THE PATH TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP"

Regarding the championship race, Okan Buruk stated, "Our path is clear, it is the path to the championship. We must win every match for the championship. As we win, these bring us records. It is nice to break records, but we do not prepare for matches thinking about them. We go out into these matches to become champions. It is the Galatasaray community and our fans who break this record. This unity brings success. We are trying to break these records as Galatasaray. We want to win all matches, regardless of whether they are home or away."

WE WILL PREPARE MATCH BY MATCH

Okan Buruk concluded his words as follows: "If we score in the first half, we need to score in the second half as well. We have returned to a single-match weekly schedule. We have returned to playing one match a week. From now on, it will be different for us in terms of preparation and rest. We will prepare match by match. We will only play two matches in the week of the Super Cup. I think it will be much better when our squad is complete."
