I live with it. I am the same everywhere, whether on the street or on the plateau. What is different is doing my job. I know my position, so I have no such discomfort. The king is the king both at home and on the street. I don’t even want a different title. Positions and other things bother me. I do my job. Apart from that, I am a Trabzonspor coach and I have to do what is required of me.
