Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has delivered a confident yet accountable assessment of his team’s position in the Süper Lig title race.
Speaking ahead of the final five weeks of the season, Buruk reported that his side leads the standings by two points and will host their closest rival at home, giving them a decisive advantage. “All the strings are in our hands,” Buruk said, emphasizing his unwavering trust in the squad to secure what would be a historic fourth consecutive league championship.
Buruk explicitly assumed personal responsibility for any potential errors or dropped points during the run-in. “If there is any mistake in the middle, any point losses, any errors, and if we are to blame someone for that, of course it is the technical director of this team,” he stated.
The manager’s direct admission places the burden of the title chase squarely on his own shoulders, deflecting pressure from players while reinforcing internal discipline and focus.
