VIDEO. How did Iasmin Latovlevici know Fatih Fitim: “I woke up with over 20 lost calls”

“I have understood since he came to Galatasaray why Fatih Terim is called” the emperor “. He gave you a state of fear, but in a positive sense. It was about discipline; did not move anything under him. Terim is a great bad coach and very respected. Besides, it's a super man. It was like a father for us.

I have a story that remained in my mind. When I felt afraid. Fatih Terim had returned to Galata, I was still recovering after an injury. One morning, I had to introduce myself to the field at 10:30. About 10 without a bit, I looked at the phone to see how much the clock. At that moment, I saw about 20 lost calls from several people in the club. I do not exaggerate! I still did not know that I was trying to come to the team.

I call the club translator back: «Where are you? You have to come quickly. Mystery came! ». I was in gypsum, what to do, to run for training?! ”, Latovlevici told GSP Live.

Latovlevici was expecting what's worse after he didn't arrive on time to meet Fatih Terim.

“I got to the locker room. There, my colleagues were asking me where I was.” It wasn't to come to 10:30?! “Yes, but it came. Go and talk to him!”

Terim was during a meeting. I went to him and apologized for the delay. As I described the world, I expected to overthrow me with a chair! However, he answered me in a calm tone: “Stay quiet, go and do your job, we have time to talk.” The people around them were very agitated. That word applies: even if they had nothing to do, the employees were wiping, cleaning something, they were dealing with anything just to look like they didn't stay for nothing, “Latovlevici continued.
