Crisis between Melissa Vargas and Zehra Güneş!

The relationship between Melissa Vargas and Zehra Güneş, two standout names behind the recent major successes of the Turkish Women's National Volleyball Team, has soured. In a team that has become the pride of Turkey with gold medals in the FIVB Nations League and the European Championship, an unexpected crisis has now emerged.

Güneş and Vargas, who were known for their close friendship until recently and were recognized for their sincere demeanor even when competing against each other in both the national team and their clubs, have stopped following each other on social media. This development has caused confusion among the fans who follow the duo.

A few months before the rift between the two, a similar tension had emerged between their teammates İlkin Aydın and Ebrar Karakurt through pointed social media posts. Now, this distance between two of the team's most important players is drawing attention.

Melissa Vargas, who often draws attention with her social media activity, revealed the extent of the rift with a song she shared on her account in the middle of the night. The Cuban-born Turkish national opposite hitter shared Billie Eilish's song "Happier Than Ever" with the note, "I loved it in 2021, I understood it in 2026."

The lyrics chosen by Vargas contained a direct reproach:

“I don't relate to you,

I don't relate to you, no

'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty

You made me hate this city...

And I don't talk shit about you on the internet

Never told anyone anything bad”

Zehra Güneş, who plays for VakıfBank, and Fenerbahçe Medicana star Melissa Vargas had been known to the public for their close friendship for about two years.
