VIDEO. No drinking bottle, but… a cup of hot tea: goalkeeper of the Turkish second division team masters freezing cold in a special way
The temperature in Europe drops below zero in several countries, so football is played here and there in the snow. The freezing cold is anything but pleasant, especially for goalkeepers, who usually stand still more often during a match. Although Matija Orbanic, goalkeeper of the Turkish second division club Erzurumspor, has a good solution for that. Due to the harsh conditions, the goalkeeper decided not to take a drinking bottle onto the field, but to take a cup of tea with him. It provided wonderful images.
