A rare training at Merkezefendi

Another Wednesday and of course another short visit to the Merkezefendi Park.

First, it looked like the same old same old but then we got surprised by our coach’s new ‘friend’.

Before I tell you about the big surprise though, let’s look at this week’s antiques:

A compromising shot of our team’s players running trying to run through the traffic. (no, we don’t have any ladies in our team. I don’t think we can have ladies anyway)

And finally, it wouldn’t be a fun running session without some competition.

The surprise was actually Demir negotiating with one of the local football clubs to let us go and practice for 30 minutes in their field. We rarely even touch the ball in our usual training schedules. So this was a big surprise to be rewarded with actual field practice after our running session.
