This is a statement on my responsibility, and the administration will keep in mind the follow-up, monitoring and standing on every small and big thing because the team cannot afford to lose another championship, and building trust between the management body is an important matter. Very, and there are words that must be understood between the lines, and we will see in the end what the meeting will produce.”
