There are many reasons for us to win. We need to win by country points and for our club, Turkish football we have to win because of its prestige, it is one of the matches that we have to win because of our own success.“I speak.
“THE RESULTS OF THE MERT GÜNOK TEST ARE NEGATIVE”
Buruk said that all the tests carried out after goalkeeper Mert Günok’s positive coronavirus test were negative and that they included the Manchester United game in the squad.
“Mert Günok came from the national team, where the test came back positive. We did it again immediately and all subsequent tests were negative. There were 4 tests in a row. Anyway, there is no possibility of getting it in the national team. Mert is one of our most careful players. He always wears his partner mask. Nothing happened to any of the players on the campus of the national team. Mert’s appearance surprised us, he had no symptoms. What was done next turned out negative. The UEFA tests were also negative. UEFA has given its permission to play. We also take it. The first test was bad … We didn’t want to use our player in the Beşiktaş match due to the rules of both our players and the league. All subsequent tests were all negative. The company that conducted the test was the company that also conducted the tests for the national team.. “
Claiming Aleksic was not in the squad, Okan Buruk said of the shortcomings in the staff going to Manchester: “There was a tear in the justice of Mehmet Topal. We already know about Caiçara. Crivelli’s injury continues. He will join us. next week”. used expressions.
Explaining that the atmosphere of these parties is very different, Buruk emphasized that they had gone through a difficult process due to the epidemic, saying:
“We had trouble getting back into the league after Manchester’s last win. Especially in the first half of Gençlerbirliği and Beşiktaş matches, we had a difficult time preparing for these matches in terms of concentration for the league. Of course, the Champions League atmosphere here is a completely different game, very intense. This process is difficult. The best part is that the national team games are not until March. I think that the ruptures between the teams have caused great damage to the teams of the club. Pandemic match in the process and that is difficult for the Turkish leagues, just as I think it is difficult to determine the UEFA match. Also, I think it is very difficult for the national team, there are intense matches. I think it was a difficult process for Professor Şenol (Güneş). Actually, the footballers who face the biggest challenge here. We see footballers as robots, they play a lot of games, maybe they go home very little. It is a group that lives with the concern of contracting a virus in a difficult psychological sense. In addition, the player who played so many games can come back from there with strong criticism. We can make the same criticisms of the national team coach. We have to be a little more tolerant. For both players, coaches and all members of the soccer family. We are having a hard time and the players are trying to do the best they can, not the robots. ”
After passport controls, the team group left for Manchester, England in a private plane.
