After the match, our coach came to the locker room and jokingly hit my leg. In another match, they were criticizing me. So, after the match, I went to the locker room and yelled and cursed towards my side. Our coach got angry at me, saying 'shut up.' I turned my back and cursed, saying 'that's how the team and the coach are.' Our coach came to me. While talking, he raised his hand. I quickly hit the coach's hand. I said to Coach Deniz, 'What's up, coach?' Coach Deniz then slowly squeezed my throat. After the match, I kissed the coach's hand and we made peace," he expressed.
