Stating that he has not watched the player much, the experienced manager expressed that he liked his performance in the Galatasaray-Kasımpaşa match.
I haven't watched many of his matches. However, he played well in the Galatasaray-Kasımpaşa match. He is a good transfer. You have to work very hard for your dreams.
