Former Fenerbahce player Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha has declared city
rivals Galatasaray a difficult team to play in Istanbul as Real Madrid
prepare to travel there for their second leg Uefa Champions League
quarter final game. Jay Jay spent two seasons in Turkey and knows the temperament of his
former club’s biggest rivals as he predicted a tough time for the
Spanish giants who will take a 3-0 lead to Istanbul. “If you fly in as a visiting team from a foreign country,
[Galatasaray fans] won’t let you sleep, they will come to your hotel and
disturb you,” said Okocha at the Heineken Champions Planet in Victoria
Island on Wednesday night.
“And if you have a Galatasaray fan serving you in the hotel, I don’t think you will get the best service. “It’s a really difficult place to go to but I think with the
experience of Real Madrid and with the result they have gotten [on
Wednesday] they will do well,” he said.
Okocha was guest of the Heineken Champions Planet's Legends Night where he talked about the game among other topics.
