Fatih Terim, the legendary head coach of "Galatasaray" nicknamed "The Emperor", made an important statement to the Italian press on the eve of the UEFA Champions League match against "Juventus".
Idman.Biz reports that the experienced specialist, speaking to "Tuttosport", assessed this match as the best play-off match of the Champions League.
"It will be a very exciting and eagerly awaited game. If I were neutral, I would like to watch the match in Istanbul. Every match between these teams has its own story," said Terim.
He emphasized that "Juventus" has a special place in his career and noted that the main keyword of the match will be "intensity". According to Terim, "Galatasaray" stands out with its high tempo and aggressive football, especially in Champions League matches.
"Galatasaray is my life. I will support "CimBom" with all my heart. I hope there will be an unforgettable night," he said, once again expressing his commitment to the "yellow-red" club.
Terim said that the stars in "Galatasaray's" squad can also change the fate of the game. According to him, footballers such as Osimhen, Icardi, Torreira, İlkay Gündoğan, Sane and Lang have the power to change the course of the match with one episode.
Terim, calling Abdülkerim, Yunus Akgün, Barış Alper Yılmaz and Kaan Ayhan "the Turkish heart of the team", said about goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır: "He is Turkey's number one, a high-level goalkeeper at European standards."
