He hopes to work as a coach in the future, and also has an interest in sports journalism. "I really like sports journalism on the radio or television.

HOME BURGLARY

"Three people knocked down the balcony door to enter my house. They were looking for money as if I was rich. It took me eight years to buy that house. They took material things, some valuable objects, broke everything and threatened my daughters. It's sad news for me, you work tirelessly to have your own things. Thank God the girls are okay."
