"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the 100th anniversary of Turkish Republic and  thank Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades-in-arms a thousand times. If we speak comfortably here today, we owe it to them. 

Yes, I'm fully recovered from my injury. However, we are playing one game every three days, so I have to be careful. Tonight’s match was not going to be easy because our opponents were on their ascend in the table. But despite that, we played a good game and deserved to win. We need victories like this to get through the situation we're in right now.”
