"Obviously it was harder for my parents, but I feel integrated into Germany society," adds Fendo.
"It is all to do with the way you think, though I admit that when I am in Germany, I feel Turkish, but when I am in Turkey, I feel German."
"Obviously I wanted to Turkey to do well while they were in the competition.
"My dream would have been Turkey playing Germany in the final. That would have been fantastic.
"If that had happened then I would have wanted Turkey to win, but more for reasons that Senol Gunes' team would have been been the underdogs.
"Turkey is a smaller country and it is not as economically well off as Germany.
"It's a social thing. In the same way it's probably more important for Brazil that they win the game.
"Win or lose we are going to have a party in Germany on Sunday."
In England there is a stereotype of the German team, both past and present, not only of being efficient, but also of being arrogant.
But Fendo paints a very different picture of the two teams' relative merits.
"It's true that Sunday's game is a great clash between two very different styles - a team of magicians and the other of scientists.
"But Brazil have been a little bit arrogant, particularly in the way Rivaldo behaved in the group game against Turkey.
"I know there is a perception that Germans are arrogant but that hasn't been the case in this tournament.
