Okan Buruk: We are trying to do our absolute best

In the final match of the Ziraat Turkish Cup Group A, Galatasaray defeated Corendon Alanyaspor 2-1 away from home. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk said, "We played another match against a very good team that we also faced over the weekend."

Both teams made changes to their squads. We were the side that knew how to win by continuing the performance we showed in the first half, including the goal we scored, into the second half and protecting the score. It is valuable for us; we are continuing our journey in the Turkish Cup with 4 victories. We are trying to continue our path by becoming even stronger psychologically. Our goal is, of course, to do our best in all 3 competitions," he said.

Stating that they are well aware of their responsibility to the Galatasaray fans, Buruk said, "We are trying to do our absolute best to be worthy of the great Galatasaray fans who supported us in the stadium today, who came to the airport yesterday, and who held a large demonstration in front of the hotel. We will do our best to continue this in the league this weekend and in the Champions League next week. I wish Alanyaspor success for the game they played. They are a good team. They show this clearly, especially at home. Today, we were the winners. We are experiencing the happiness of this," he said.
