“It was an important match, it was breaking through. Everyone was very nervous. There were occasional verbal provocations with the opposing team players. But they were all friends we knew. In the 8th minute of the 3rd quarter of the match, a friend from our team and a friend from the opposite team started to argue with each other in the corner of the field. To protect our friend, we ran to that side with the team players who saw this. Although we do not want such events to be seen in sports, it was a situation that could be considered normal in terms of age until that time. The real problem was that a lot of parents booed the players at the time. As we learned later, two parents were highly educated people themselves. One was a doctor and the other a lecturer at a university. These people made unspeakable insults. While our coach was trying to calm the parties in the face of the events, a parent standing in the grandstand pushed me. Our coach got very angry when he saw the parent’s behavior towards me. Our coach came out to the tribune and could not control his anger. When there are parents who want to harm us.”
