Since I could not enter the stadium, I wanted to go to the square and watch the match on the giant screen. I couldn't watch the match because of the crowd. With the excitement and stress at that moment, I thought ‘I should climb up a pole’ and I did that. I didn’t think of anything at that moment. Some people warned me saying, ‘Don’t climb, you may fall’. I didn’t care. I didn't think about falling or getting electrocuted. I had to switch 2 poles because some shook the pole from below. I have not had any trouble climbing up the pole. When I was up there I felt everyone's excitement as if I was experiencing it myself. It was so crowded, it was magnificent.”
