Ah ok, I thought perhaps that his father had been sick for a longer time, but this is really absolutely horrible for him - 3 days ago....:-(
His father was not sick. His death was sudden, 20 Jan.
And at early morning 21 Jan Maxim Trankov flied to Zagreb.
No interwievs with him (it's understandable). Piseev told that to take place in Euro was Maxim Trankov's own solution.
Рis father wanted very much the best results for Maxim and wouldn't like to hinder it.
