Okan Buruk's special tactic for Liverpool! He rehearsed

Okan applied a similar system to the one he will play against Liverpool in Alanyaspor away. The coach used Singo, Sanchez and Abdulkerim together in defense, with Baris and Sane behind Icardi.

PREFERRED A TRIO

Galatasaray started with a triple defense against Alanyaspor. The Yellow Reds, who will host Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday, opted for a three-man defense in the last part of Monday's Konyaspor match and in the starting line-up for last night's Alanyaspor test. Not wanting a disaster against the English giants at Rams Park, technical boss Okan Buruk used Singo, Sanchez and Abdülkerim in a triple defense. Sallai played on the right and Eren on the left, with Torreira and Sara at the center of the midfield. The changes up front were also noteworthy.

YUNUS AND ILKAY MOVES

Buruk, who used two strikers up front in last season's trio trials, played Icardi as a lone striker in yesterday's match, while Barış and Sane were deployed behind the striker. Resting Yunus, who has been in form in recent weeks, due to pain, the Lion's coach also pulled İlkay to the bench, in a sense saving the experienced star for the Liverpool test. Ilkay, who played in the second half of the game, will most likely be in the starting 11 in the Champions League.
