2011-2014 arası Ortaokulda sabahçi devre iken sabah okula gitmeden Ntv Spor'da Murat Caner'in sunduğu 7/10 programını izleyip giderdim okula. Öğle 12.00'de dönünce de La Liga özetlerini izlerdim Sevilla'lı Jose Antonie Reyes, Villarreal'li Guiseppe Rossi, Atletico'lu Agüero, Pedro,Villa, Xavi, İniesta, Messi'li Barca ve Özil, Higuain, Ronaldo'lu Real Madrid... ah be ne günlerdi.
