Okan Buruk, head coach of Turkish football team "Galatasaray", shared his thoughts after the draw (1:1) with "Kocaelispor" in the 29th round of the Super League. The experienced specialist specifically complained about frequent stoppages in the game and the opponent's time-wasting tactics.
İdman.Biz reports that Buruk criticized the opponent's style of play and stated that they committed many meaningless fouls.
"We made a lot of mistakes. With every mistake, the opponent lies down, the game stops and slows down. That's what they want. We should have stayed calmer and known what we were doing. That's what upsets me the most," the head coach said.
Evaluating the course of the match, Okan Buruk emphasized the importance of the second goal:
"We played the first half with complete dominance, not letting the opponent near our goal. But if we had scored the second goal, we could have saved the game. After the score was tied, we panicked."
The expert stated that some players playing with injuries and the absence of Osimhen affected the team.
Finally, touching on the championship race, the head coach spoke ambitiously:
"The advantage is still with us, we are the leader. We have experienced similar situations in previous years. I believe in our fans and my players. We will be champions again."
