I Have Missed My Friends!

English Version

Hello again,

After what we saw as a very successful World Cup our holiday finished and now I am at Fenerbahce’s Austria Camp. My holiday went totally great. Besides, there could never be ‘a bad’ point of a holiday. But what I want to say is that after such a hard season with Fenerbahce and a very challenging World Cup, I really needed this holiday. I should have spent the holiday well, and that’s exactly what I did.

I’m a person that loves football. So when I was on holiday I really missed playing it. But most of all, I missed my friends. We’re players that have been understanding each other for many years. In training and matches, we have a great time being with each other. Especially in the last 3 years, our team’s main skeleton was dissolving so our friendship levels were (and are) increasing everyday. This is the reason for which I miss them when I’m not with them. This is the reason why when I came back to my friends I’m so happy.

I found the team extremely good. And with the new transfers came a new atmosphere to the team. Everyone is going to start the season extremely ambitious. But believe this, there is a sweet competition for a place in the team in this club. And this competition and ambition among the players will bring Fenerbahce the championship. I’m very sure of this. This year, few but very quality players became among us. And now Lorant is also a person who knows about Turkish football and their Leagues. And he is constructing the training according to this. If it continues like this, a new Fenerbahce will emerge in the Turkish Lig. And as I see this, I become very hopeful of the Champion’s League. You must know that one of our biggest aims is to be successful in the CL. I heavily believe this will happen this season.

By the way, in the interview with me in the Milliyet Gazete yesterday, some information was given to you by means of my site and there was some false information and then I had told you the truth about it. I had told you all about my belief in Milliyet’s truthfulness. Milliyet did not take advantage of this. By putting the right information on their site, I was found right. I would like to thank Milliyet for this.

To be with you all again very soon!
