He said “Show patience” and signaled that Arda Guler would be rented
World Football Summit Content and Communications Director Jaime Dominguez Perez De Ayala said that 19-year-old national football player Arda Guler, who plays for Spanish team Real Madrid, will become a much more important player for Turkey in the future if “patience is shown.”
Jaime, who lives in the capital of Spain and follows Real Madrid closely, evaluated the performance of national football player Arda Guler, who wears the Real Madrid jersey, in the Spanish club to an AA correspondent.
“Real Madrid believes in Arda and his potential. The important thing is to ensure that he reaches this potential as soon as possible,” said Jaime, explaining that the national player was loaned to another team because he could not play enough for the Spanish team, and that Real Madrid sends its young players to teams where they will get enough playing time in the top leagues and recalls those who have completed their development process.
Jaime, who stated that Arda is very talented but that it is difficult to come to Real Madrid at a young age and make a difference, said, “Arda Guler was chosen as the second best under-21 player after Lamine Yamal and he has a great career ahead of him. Real Madrid believes in Arda and his potential. The important thing is to ensure that he reaches this potential as soon as possible.”
“It’s part of the process of developing the football player”
Jaime stated that Real Madrid and Arda Guler are not unhappy and emphasized the mutual satisfaction of both parties.
Pointing to the Spanish team’s understanding of working with young players, Jaime gave examples of Odegaard, Brahim Diaz and Daniel Carvajal, who were sent to other teams but returned to Madrid, and said, “Real Madrid does this very well. Other European clubs follow the same path. They always send young players to clubs that compete at a high level, where they will get regular playing time. It benefits both Real Madrid and the player. This is part of the process of developing the player.”
Jaime, who stated that Arda Guler constantly plays and trains with the best footballers in the world and that patience is needed in his development, said, “If you show patience to Arda, he will become a much more important player for Turkey in the future.”
Turkey’s “golden boy” Arda Guler
National football player Arda Guler came in second in the Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best under-21 player of the season by UEFA and the French football magazine France Football.
Arda Guler, one of the most important players of the National Football Team, played 373 minutes in LaLiga last season with the Real Madrid jersey.
Arda, who received little playing time last season due to his injuries and physical development process, managed to make his mark in Real Madrid history despite this.
Scoring 6 goals in 373 minutes played in La Liga last season, Arda became the “player who scored the most goals in the fewest minutes” in his first season in Real Madrid history.
This season, Arda has not yet contributed a goal or an assist in 307 minutes played in 8 LaLiga, 3 UEFA Champions League and 1 UEFA Super Cup matches for Real Madrid.
