The journey to the gym, which lasts at most 10 minutes, took more than 40, which made us almost late for training. Then the same the driver started turning up the volume of the radio. We asked him to turn it down several times. Later, when our coach wanted to get up and turn down the sound, he braked suddenly and Erdem Chan hit his head on the glass and injured his neck," the statement said.

Of course, first of all, we hope that our coach is healthy. He will come to the game.
