Let’s look realistically at what happened in the national team that people’s expectations are not met? Volleyball has gained credibility among the people and we must maintain this. The federation and the volleyball family did everything possible for the success of the national team. We are here now, from the selection of players to the way of training and preparatory camps, whatever you think, you should raise in this meeting so that we can cure this problem. We are not going to judge anyone and we should try to examine the issue from different angles and think of a solution.
