A video of an interview given by Mert Günok at the age of 16, who returned to Fenerbahçe after 10 years, has emerged. His words, "I want to join the first team, it's my dream," caught attention, while on social media, everyone focused on young Mert's long blonde hair and good looks.
With his return to Fenerbahçe, Mert Günok has created great excitement in the yellow-blue community, but this time it's not about a transfer; it's about footage from years ago.
The 36-year-old national goalkeeper, who terminated his contract with Beşiktaş and then signed a 2.5-year contract with Fenerbahçe after passing a medical examination, has had his first interview video from when he was 16 years old emerge years later.
"I WANT TO JOIN THE A TEAM IN FENERBAHÇE, IT'S MY DREAM"
In the revealed interview, young Mert Günok expresses his desire to wear the A Team jersey in Fenerbahçe and clearly articulates this goal. The revival of this dream he established at a young age, coinciding with his return to Fenerbahçe years later, has moved the fans.
LONG YELLOW HAIR AND "HANDSOME" COMMENTS
As the video quickly became a trending topic on social media, a large portion of the fans discussed Mert Günok's appearance at that time rather than the interview itself. The long yellow hair of 16-year-old Mert, his "quite handsome" appearance despite his young age, and the changes over the years were among the details that caught users' attention the most. Comments such as "Those hair are legendary," "The handsomeness detail didn't go unnoticed," and "How time has passed" were made under the posts.
BACK HOME AFTER 10 YEARS
Mert Günok, who returned to Fenerbahçe, where he was raised in the youth system, is expected to prepare for his first training session in Samandıra after approximately 10 years. This nostalgic interview that has emerged has added a special meaning to the "return home" story for the yellow-blue fans.
