It's time to say goodbye to Galatasaray! Star players will part ways

"TURKISH REFEREES WERE DISRESPECTED"

"The stress of this match is very different. The quality of the match was very high in terms of expectations. We saw how badly a referee who had officiated the Champions League performed and how his hands were shaking. I saw him put the whistle to his mouth three times when nothing was happening. He gave very bad fouls. He stopped the game at very bad moments. He never listened to the fourth referee. There was a hand position in the second half. Mert almost played volleyball there. He says fourth hand and he doesn't listen to that either. This is disrespectful to Turkish referees. The fourth referee was not listened to because he was Turkish. I told him after the match that he performed worse than Turkish referees. The hands and feet of a referee who had officiated the Champions League and finals were shaking. He was so tense before the match that I couldn't believe it. If a foreign referee is going to play a match in this situation, imagine how much pressure the players of both teams are under."

"ADVANTAGE 7 POINTS"

"Winning the match is very important but we have seen many years where we did not lose. We have seen many years where neither team made very brave attacks in matches that went 0-0 where there were no goals. This year was the same. We can count last year in the same way. The referee kept calling fouls and stopped the match. I am very unhappy with the referee's performance. You promote the referee and bring him in for a very high amount of money... You say let the match end 0-0 so that nothing happens to me. We would have liked to win but when we look at it from the other side, we increased our 6-point advantage to 7 points. In this sense, we are sorry we could not win. We wanted to leave with a victory because it was our home field. We were also facing a team in form. Our resistance and fighting power were good. We had a little trouble producing."

"WE WANT TO BE CHAMPIONS AGAIN"

"We need to think match by match. We have a cup match on Thursday. Then we have a match against Kasımpaşa on Sunday. We will go out to win our matches again. We will play tough matches. Unfortunately, we are not in Europe. We will be much stronger with this squad quality. We played without Morata and Ismail Jakobs. We had the chance to play Yunus. This was important for us. We had three new players today. They started in the 11 with each other for the first time. When we also take into account the team's adaptation process, when the weeks are reduced to a single match, we will have the chance to prepare better physically and mentally. We have not won anything at the moment. We have an advantage. When we think about the matches one by one and play, we want to gain this advantage. We want to be champions again."

"LEMINA MADE A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION"

"My goal is to win the next 9 matches. I tell this to my players. If we win these nine matches, we will already be champions. Our goal is to win 9 matches. Lemina made a significant contribution to the team physically. It is very important for him to win duels. We did not have many players who won duels. He was very important for us. He also did very important things in terms of possession of the ball and managing the game. He got tired in the last 10-15 minutes. Of course, he has a lot of matches left. Apart from that, he played very useful. We needed a player like him in this match. He made a significant contribution to the team. All my players are valuable. Everyone who played did their best today; but Mario did well in his first 11 matches in a long time."

"LET MOURINHO CONTINUE TO CRY"

Speaking about his colleague Mourinho, Buruk said: "The Crying One's speech took a bit long. As you know, he is famous for crying. He cried for a long time. He cried inside, went into the referee's room and cried. Let him continue to cry. It was not a very happy match for both teams. Their fighting power was very high. Our opponent is in 7th place in the league in terms of ball possession. They were a team that used transitions and long balls a lot, and made crosses from the wings. We cut the long balls with Lemina. We also took the right positions in the side crosses. They got into a clear position in the dead balls. We could have been more productive. We did good things physically and in terms of fighting. In my opinion, I do not remember a derby referee who performed this badly. He stopped the whole match, gave ridiculous fouls. There were decisions he made against us, cards he showed, fouls he gave, fouls he did not give. He did many things against us. It was obvious how much pressure he was under before the match. The shaking hands and feet of such an experienced referee who had refereed finals... I saw him put the whistle to his mouth 3 times when there was no position. He never listened to the 4th referee because he was Turkish. Mert Müldür had a hand position on the ground, he bounced it with his hand like a basketball player. The 4th referee said hand, but he didn't give it just because he was Turkish. He told him 'Don't interfere too much' while he was in the game. I have never seen such a bad performance. Of course Fenerbahçe and Fenerbahçe's coach will be pleased. Because he used all his foul rights on their side. He stopped the game a lot. We were always complaining about Turkish referees stopping the game. I think there was a referee who stopped the game twice as much. He was way below his own performance. I think this is due to the pressure on him. This is the first time he is officiating a derby in Turkey. He stopped the game so many times that we are being unfair to Turkish referees for this. There are worse ones in slowing down the game."
