Nuri Şahin, who coaches RAMS Başakşehir in the Süper Lig, made statements about our national footballer Arda Güler, who plays for Real Madrid.
''I REALLY WANTED HIM FOR DORTMUND''
Nuri Şahin revealed that during his time as Borussia Dortmund's head coach, he wanted to transfer Arda Güler, who was not getting much playing time at Real Madrid, and said, "I really wanted Arda for Dortmund. At that time, he told me, 'Coach, no matter what, I will seize this jersey.' That impressed me a lot. I said, 'Good luck to you, I'm always your supporter.' And that's what happened; he seized the jersey."
''THE NATIONAL TEAM IS A VERY DIFFERENT LEVEL''
Speaking about the National Team heading to the World Cup, Nuri Şahin said, "I don't look at it as a generation. He is a very, very quality coach. A very valuable group of players, a pool. Of course, the national team is a very different level. When you look at it, there is a player who Juventus builds everything around, an irreplaceable player for Real Madrid. Our captain is at Inter. He transferred from Milan to Inter and reached an even higher level there, doing an incredible job as captain. Merih has also made amazing transfers, in amazing places. And having been in that environment myself, I believe in being a team."
