The Turk Telekom bus crashed into the windshield of the bus ahead of the EuroCup final

Sudden braking, apparently deliberately applied by the driver of the bus transporting Turk Telecom to Spain, caused Erdem Can’s neck injury hours before the EuroCup final against Gran Canaria.

An unpleasant “surprise” awaited Turk Telecom a few hours before the EuroCup final against Gran Canaria, which will give the winning team a ticket to the EuroLeague for the 2023/24 season, when the Turkish club’s coach, Erdem Can, slammed his neck after hitting the windshield of the bus.

The Turkish team suffered quite a bit from the driver of the coach that took them to Spain’s stadium where the final will take place, as it appears to have been turned around on purpose on purpose to lengthen a journey that under normal circumstances should only have taken 10 minutes have.

At the same time, Turk Telecom CEO, Oder Kolsembas, complained that the driver played the music on the bus very loud and didn’t turn it down despite repeated requests from people in the group. That’s why the coach of the Turkish club said, Erdem Can, got up from his seat to again tell the driver to turn down the volume, and appears to have braked sharply – on purpose – causing the Turkish coach’s neck injury after crashing into the windscreen .

“He trained the team with a collar and then went to the hospital on a stretcher. We don’t want to blame the EuroCup or Gran Canaria but unfortunately there is a motive and whoever is responsible for it must be held accountable. We’re working on it, but first of all we hope that our coach is healthy.” Mr. Kolsembas hinted indicatively.

For the third time, two Spanish teams win the EuroLeague and the EuroCup in the same year

Real Madrid and Gran Canaria managed the EuroLeague and EuroCup double this year. For the third time, two Spanish teams reach the top of both competitions in the same season.

The consistency of the Spanish teams in recent years is admirable. This year, for the third time since 2000, two teams from the Iberian Peninsula have won the EuroLeague and the EuroCup in the same season.

Through the hands of Sergio Yul, Real Olympiakos hit the canvas in the Final Four 2023 in Kaunas and lifted their 11th trophy in Europe’s top club competition. Not long ago, Gran Canaria had defeated Turk Telekom to become champions of the EuroCup, securing their place in the EuroLeague. Although their presence there next season is far from certain, it needs to be thought about.

Barcelona and Valencia have actually managed this informal double twice in the past. In the 2002/03 season, the Blaugrana won their first EuroLeague, while the Orange were crowned EuroCup champions and clinched their first European title. Simultaneous successes in the EuroLeague and the EuroCup were achieved again by Barcelona and Valencia in the 2009/10 season.
