Beşiktaş's successful goalkeeper Mert Günok made a statement on his social media accounts regarding the recent events.
HIS CAPTAINCY HAD BEEN TAKEN AWAY
Mert Günok, who has become the target of criticism in recent weeks at Beşiktaş, published a statement on his official social media account. The experienced goalkeeper included the following statements in his announcement;
"I want to share my thoughts on a few points that have occupied the agenda for the last few days and that I believe have led to misunderstandings.
When I transferred to Beşiktaş four years ago, I unfortunately got injured in my first months. Despite that serious injury, I worked hard and returned without giving up, protecting the goal of both Beşiktaş and our national team whenever I was given the opportunity.
I had the honor of wearing the captain's armband of Beşiktaş. Every time I stepped onto the field, I made an effort to behave in a way that reflected the example of our legendary greats who have captained Beşiktaş. Regardless of the outcome, I acted in a manner befitting our club both on and off the field, protecting the interests of our club. I never exhibited behavior unworthy of my position.
This season, we did not start well as a team. I am one of the most saddened by the fact that we could not reflect the game worthy of Beşiktaş on the field. Football is a team game, and we are doing our best to put an end to this poor performance together.
I have always welcomed the change of captaincy during this process with maturity, as I always have. Beşiktaş is a very established community, and such actions are taken in accordance with the requirements of the institutional structure.
At no point in my career have I commented on technical and managerial decisions made. I have respected every decision, and I will continue to do so. When I play, I will reflect my best on the field, and when I do not play, I will support my teammates who are playing. I will continue to make every effort to be on the field with a performance worthy of our club."
