But, Kosheleva was present in Turkey, watching her teammates from the stands and cheering for them. From that perspective she could see how Turkish fans were behaving during the match and she was appalled!
“Today was the first match of the CEV Cup finals between my team and the Turkish club Galatasaray. All my life I had respect and loved for everyone in our big world. For me the skin color, religion and country do not matter. I believe that we should always respect each other, but what I saw today in the game, frightened and shocked me,” Kosheleva has written on her Instagram profile after the match.
“Fans of the Turkish team were more than inappropriate, their words and gestures showed all the hatred toward us. Garbage flew on our heads from the stands! And the biggest shock was when the head coach of Galatasaray (Ataman Güneyligil) showed his middle finger to me and the staff our team. After this, I want to say that people should not forget that this is a sport which should bring joy, excitement, support, and not what I saw today. Let’s be kinder, more cultured and just believe in our team,” star player of Krasnodar emphasized.
