''For 1.5 years, I was not only away from football. I was tested by my dreams, I fought with my patience, I carried wounds inside me that no one knew about. Time passed for everyone, but for me every day was a separate struggle.

I never gave up and today I experienced once again that moment I had been longing for. I have been reunited with where I belong: the green pitches, football, and the glorious Fenerbahçe jersey.

I sincerely thank the great Fenerbahçe fans who stood by me in my difficult times, who never withheld their support for even a moment, and who never left me alone.

I missed you very much, and I love you very much.

Now, from where we left off, much stronger!''
