It's not about fear or shame.

We simply don't want | people to watch it.

It won't change anything-even | when they see what it looks like.

Either way, they won't accept it.

It's brutal, full of coarse language,

there's blood-like in a real fight.

You beat as hard as you can.

And people are not going | to like it-that's for sure.

Still, I think, many people | understand that.

It's just a popular opinion | they don't.

It's even convenient for them.

We don't fight at stadiums anymore...

...where older people come with | their families.

Now there's different... | ...atmosphere than it used to be.

And I think a smart person | would appreciate...

...the fact that we fight | outside stadiums.

And it is better, because people...

...are no longer forced to be | a part of this.

We are not a bunch of freaks that | enjoy beating one another for fun.

We train to be able to test ourselves, | in a cage or against other people.

There are just a few of us. | People think we are some weirdos.

Look at what young guys do | in this country.

They are junkies or bums.

Now, compare that to what we do.

I'm not sure which is better.

Why did you write: | "You'll never be alone"?

Different things happen in life, | you know.

And if one of us runs into problems... | ...we are able to help him.

In my life as a hooligan it means | that when I'm with my friends

at brawls or matches...

...on the street, railway station, | whatever...

and some guys provoke us.

We are outnumbered. | And "you'll never be alone"

means we will stay together.

Until the end. Regardless of the | consequences.

And no one ever drops out.

In my everyday life | it means friendship

having a real friend, | who is beside me...

...at all times.

And, generally speaking, | we help each other.

On a daily basis, | I train and attend school.

What kind of school?

I'm in the third year of | Tourism College.

After that I'll try to make my M.A.

There's not much work here.

We usually work during | a holiday season...

...when more discos are open.

We go to the peninsula | and work there.

It's better to go to school | if you have no work.

But sometimes you have to pay.

It's ok for those who can afford it.

But if you have no work or school | to go to... you're in deep sh*t.

I graduated two schools and that | changed my attitude towards life.

What kind of school was it?

Pedagogy of reclamation... It's for | people you mentioned earlier.

I work for a company and I train. | This eats the whole day.

I'd like to spend some more time | with my family

because I love them.

You tend to loose important things | when you haven't got time.

- Do your school colleagues know? | ...Yeah, they do.
