It’s a challenge for me to play in a league I’ve never played in before. My father (ss Ljubo Travica) was a coach here for two years in the past and spoke to me about the league. Greece is an incredible country, just like Athens is an excellent city. I vacationed in Greece and I remember many beautiful things, so I like living here. I will enjoy it. It’s a challenge for me because Olympiacos is a club that always wants to move up to achieve its goals of being at the top every year. We will fight to win all competitions, that’s the best thing for an athlete to always play for the win. It won’t be easy, the league has good teams, but that’s the sport. We have to work a lot at the beginning, we are a new team. I’m proud to meet our fans, I know the atmosphere they create in the stadium! I’m a player who gives everything on the pitch and it’s incredible to play in such an atmosphere.”

A doctor from the Yenisei volleyball club provided emergency assistance to a child on board the plane
The doctor of the men’s volleyball club “Yenisei” from Krasnoyarsk, Shakhriyar Mirzoev, provided emergency assistance to the boy on board the plane.
The incident happened during the New Year holidays on the Kazan-Krasnoyarsk flight. The specialist noticed that the man and child were in the toilet for 20 minutes, and the flight attendant came in there periodically.
“I approached and saw that a boy of about nine was standing at the sink filled with water and blood. At that moment, the flight attendant began to ask if there was a doctor on board, to which I replied: “I’m a doctor, I’ll help now.”
I tried to stop the bleeding using cotton wool and improvised means that the conductors had, applying cold to the bridge of the nose. But this had no effect – everything was soaked in blood. The bleeding did not stop for about 20 minutes.
I tried to calm the child down and began to think about what to do next. I asked the flight attendants for a first aid kit and found ampoules of adrenaline there. Having opened two ampoules, I soaked two cotton pads with the solution and inserted them deep into the child’s nose. After a couple of minutes, I saw that the blood had stopped,” AiF Krasnoyarsk quotes Mirzoev as saying.
The child came to his senses. As it turned out, the boy had undergone surgery to remove his adenoids the day before, which probably caused the bleeding.
