A striking claim has emerged about our national star Arda Güler, who plays for Real Madrid. It is alleged that some teammates, who were uncomfortable with the young talent regularly getting a chance in the starting eleven last season, formed groups in the locker room in order to sideline Arda.
A striking claim has emerged from the French press about our national footballer Arda Güler, who plays for Real Madrid.
ARDA GÜLER'S PLACEMENT IN THE STARTING XI CAUSED UNREST
According to allegations made by French journalist Romain Molina during a program, former head coach Xabi Alonso's great trust in Arda Güler created serious tension within the team. Molina stated that Alonso's decision to assign our national star directly to the starting eleven upset some individuals, saying, "The real issue was Arda Güler. Xabi Alonso liked him a lot and put him directly in the starting eleven. Some players wanted Arda to be sidelined."
The striking dialogue between the host and Molina during the program went as follows:
Host: Who in the locker room was against Xabi Alonso?
Romain Molina: Valverde, Bellingham, Vinícius, Rodrygo, and Endrick.
Host: Why?
Romain Molina: The real issue was Arda Güler. Because Xabi Alonso liked Arda Güler very much and immediately put him in the starting eleven.
"THEY ALL WANTED TO ELIMINATE ARDA"
Molina, who claims that the team's stars targeted Arda Güler, continued his statements with these words:
"They all wanted to eliminate Arda. All of them! But Arda Güler was one of Real Madrid's best players this season. Mbappé played as a forward, Arda Güler as a number 10, Vinícius on the left, and Mastantuono on the right wing."
Molina also highlighted Arda's humble personality off the field and his success with the national team, saying, "Arda is a very calm player. You almost never hear about him off the field. He was the best representative of Turkey in the World Cup, and this performance upset some players."
ALL EYES ON MOURINHO FOR THE NEW SEASON
After transferring from Fenerbahçe to Real Madrid, Arda Güler worked with names like Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso, and Alvaro Arbeloa at the Spanish giant, and now a completely new chapter is opening for him. Following the locker room crises experienced at the Spanish giant, the sports public is already eagerly awaiting what role the young star will take on and how he will perform under world-renowned head coach Jose Mourinho, who took over the team for the new season.
