Jose Mourinho making Arda Güler wear a pink jersey in training and thus making him a common player for both teams drew attention. The national star being exempted from defensive duties and placed at the center of the game did not escape football connoisseurs' eyes. Comments were made on the footage: "True football connoisseurs know well what this means. We are proud."
During Real Madrid's training, the special task Jose Mourinho gave to Arda Güler drew attention. The Portuguese coach sent the national team footballer onto the pitch in a pink jersey, unlike the other players.
ARDA GÜLER BECAME A PLAYER FOR BOTH TEAMS
During training, Arda Güler, acting as a shared player for both teams, supported the attack of whichever team had the ball. The national team footballer was asked to focus on build-up play and passing organization instead of joining the defense.
IN THE ROLE OF THE TEAM'S BRAIN
With this training role, known in football as a joker player, Arda Güler was at the center of both teams' build-up play. Mourinho's preference stood out as a drill aimed at making use of the young star's game vision and passing ability.
