Moreover, we promote our famous bread," he said.The club president Hasan Bahadır said the bread was a symbolic gesture that none of the players expected. "They never played for money throughout the season and they only strived for the championship. In the end, they won," he said.Uğurcan Kurt, the team's forward, said their efforts were simply to bring more accomplishments to the team. "We would play if they gave us only a piece of bread," he added.
