The manager of Galatasaray, Okan Buruk, has said that Trabzonspor performs much better when their main striker, Paul Onuachu, is playing.

Buruk made this comment after his team lost 2-1 to Trabzonspor in a Turkish Super Lig match over the weekend, where Onuachu played a key role.

He explained that without the Nigerian striker, Trabzonspor would likely find it harder to defeat his side, especially in a tough match like the one played at Papara Park.

Onuachu opened the scoring for Trabzonspor, helping his team secure all three points from the game.

Buruk added that teams often play differently depending on the players available, noting that regular players build strong understanding and consistency on the pitch.

Even after the defeat, Galatasaray still sits at the top of the league table, staying ahead of Trabzonspor.

The team also has an extra match to play, and if they win it, they could increase their lead at the top of the table.
