Real Madrid have a brilliant player in Arda Guler. Even though he has not played much in these two years, it is clear that he has potential.
It has yet to be considered where exactly Guler will play next season undeer Xabi Alonso - who has a lot of positional work to do - and in the future in general. But one thing is for sure, Guler wants to succeed at the club, and the club wants him to succeed, too.
Real Madrid fans love him, and there are many players, former and current, that share the same opinion.
Real Madrid legend Guti has been one of the club's most creative players in recent history, and it is good and refreshing to hear an opinion of a legend about a current player, even more so about what he said.
When asked about Guler, he said he sees shades of himself in the Turkish international.
Real Madrid midfield legend sees shades of himself in Arda Guler
He said: "I hope Arda Güler does better than me. He is the closest to my playing style: quality, talent, final pass, goal. He is very young and grew up in a tough club. He would have played more at another team. But only coaching at Madrid toughens you up.”
That is some praise coming from a brilliant midfielder. It is clear that Guti's passing and assists were absolutely class. To see a player of that calibre say something this big about a young, up-and-coming player like Guler is huge, and it goes to show just how much everyone around him rates him.
It is tough to imagine where Guler would succeed - whether it would be as a deep lying playmaker, or an advanced eight. It could be an outright number 10, too. However, one thing is for sure: Guler has a mindset of a brilliant player.
