On June 2, in a meeting with the federation, he asked me to be exempted for this summer, in order to rest and recuperate. The people of the national team and the president of the federation had a positive response to my situation and even said that they intended to protect me from possible backlash. I never rejected the national team. For me there is nothing more precious than wearing the coat of arms. However, I will not allow anyone to publicly disparage me. I want to make it clear that I do not tolerate the accusations against me and that I will continue to tell the truth“, emphasized Osman.
