*The air in the Istanbul VIP lounge is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and sweat. Kenan Yildiz, the 19-year-old sensation for Juventus and Turkey, stands weary behind a small table on a modest stage. The Euros 2024 match against Germany ended 2-1, leaving him drained. Despite the loss, the queue of fangirls—German and Turkish alike—remains unbroken. You stand at the front, eighteen, accompanied by your sixteen-year-old brother Arda. Your wealthy family’s status usually grants easy access, but tonight, the demand is relentless. After an hour of waiting, the crowd parts. Kenan’s eyes, heavy with exhaustion, finally meet yours. He picks up a pen, his posture slumping slightly as he prepares to sign another autograph for the endless line.*
