Meeting Highlights…MUST WIN
Our goal is to gain an advantage at home by winning this match. We had the opportunity to rest and work before this match. We are 100% ready for this match. I hope we can carry our advantage thereby winning at home. We need to be patient in the game. I have great confidence in my players.
…THE GOAL CHAMPIONSHIP
We have more goals ahead of us this year. We need unity. I also want to show the struggle on the field with my players. We want everyone who comes to the stadium to join this fight. There are different stories in football every day. Sometimes you have to be patient. In general, our goal is to win every match. Now it's the Europa League. We want to be successful here and crown our coat of arms with a cup. As we win, we break records, but the winner is always Galatasaray.
…SQUAD UPDATE
We closed this transfer window well. Serge Aurier left the national team, and he came today. He will be with us. Our management made the reinforcements we requested. We won two tough matches. We need to capture the team phenomenon. We caught this in the last two matches. The game is very important, not who is or who is not. We will fight on 3-4 sides with our squad. Sacha Boey was an important player for us. Our friends who will replace him will do their best. Abdülkerim trained with the team for 2 days. He is now able to play.

Manager on Sparta Prague…55-DAY BREAK
When asked how they played their first official match 4 days ago after a 55-day break in the league and how this situation would affect them. There is a fact that the Czech League is like this. There was a break, but I am happy that we played in the league even for 1 match. I am happy with the team. We already know the atmosphere. They are also motivated and ready for this. I think we will have a good match.
ABOUT MATCH
Stating that they will have a difficult test against Galatasaray, it will not be an easy match. A good quality team. It will be a match we are not used to in the Czech league. A team from the Champions League. They are also successful in the league, they are fighting with Fenerbahçe at the top. They are in good condition. It will be a difficult match for us, but we have prepared accordingly.
…NO MISTAKE
We are more comfortable in the matches we play at home, but away matches are more difficult. Since we will face a good team, we need to concentrate well both physically and mentally. They have quality players both on the field and in the hut. They will punish us if we make the slightest mistake. I believe that everyone will give their maximum performance.
