Turkish wonderkid Arda Güler has praised his new manager, Xabi Alonso, saying he feels “more important” under the Spanish tactician’s guidance.
“I feel more important under Xabi Alonso because he talks to me all the time,” Güler said in a recent interview, beaming with confidence about his role.
The 20-year-old playmaker, known for his silky technique and vision, expressed appreciation for Alonso’s style of play.
“I feel good with him because he likes to control the tempo, wants more short passes, and sees me as a midfielder — and that’s better for me,” he added.
Alonso, who joined Real Madrid as manager this season, is already being credited for revitalizing Güler’s confidence and positioning him in a role that suits his natural strengths. Güler’s improved performances have sparked excitement among Madrid fans and Turkish supporters alike.
