Australia, one of the opponents of the Turkish National Football Team in the World Cup, compared Arda Güler to Diego Armando Maradona. In a report by the Australian press, it was stated that the national star receives attention and respect similar to Maradona.
The Turkish National Football Team's fear of Australia, one of their opponents in the World Cup, is embodied by Arda Güler, who plays for Real Madrid.
AUSTRALIA'S FEAR OF ARDA GÜLER
The Australian press published an article about Arda Güler, comparing the 21-year-old to Diego Armando Maradona.
''HAVING ARDA, WHO IS RESPECTED LIKE MARADONA''
The Canberra Times reported that the young player is receiving attention and respect similar to Maradona, stating, ''Turkey is participating in the World Cup almost a quarter of a century later. This news is bad for Australia. Because Turkey has a young superstar, Arda Güler, who is respected like Maradona. Australia must stop this young star. In addition to Arda Güler, Kenan Yıldız, who plays for Juventus, is another threat for Australia. Unfortunately, Australia is the weakest team in Group D. Controlling Real Madrid's mesmerizing young talent Arda Güler and 20-year-old forward Kenan Yıldız will be very difficult. Arda Güler is seen as a mix of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. The goal he scored from his own half last year shows what a special player he is.''
WHEN IS THE AUSTRALIA MATCH?
The Crescent-Stars, who will participate in the World Cup after 24 years, will play their first match in the tournament against Australia on Sunday, June 14, at 07:00 Turkish time.
