He noted, “In Europe, we train more in the morning, while here we train in the afternoon, or in the evening, and during the month of Ramadan, we train at 10:00 in the evening.” “It’s strange, but it’s part of the experience, of the memories. I like to live these moments because we learn from these things.”
