After a fierce Champions League match between Arsenal and Real Madrid, defender Jurrien Timber of Arsenal expressed his admiration for one particular Madrid player who made an impression on him.
Timber was open about the largest obstacle he encountered during the game at the press conference held after the game. Timber remarked, “He really gave me a tough time.” “He has a lot of potential and will only get better.”
Was it the player he was talking about? Arda Güler, a 19-year-old Turkish player, is still a sensation at Real Madrid because to his keen technical skills and unafraid demeanour.
Güler proved to be a serious threat to the Arsenal defence, despite not yet being a frequent headliner among Madrid’s all-star team. All night long, Timber and his colleagues had a hard time because of his quickness, shrewd movement, and poise.
Timber said, “I’ve faced some top-level attackers.” But things are different with Güler. He is always one step ahead and plays with cleverness. He would shift gears or disappear into space just when I thought I had him. Throughout the entire game, he kept me alert.
Fans were similarly awed by Güler’s self-assured and imaginative performance on such a large platform, and social media was ablaze with reactions. The teenage midfielder, who is renowned for his deft touch and intelligent vision, is vying for greater playing time under Carlo Ancelotti.
Timber concluded his remarks with praise, saying, “Madrid has something special in him.” Despite his youth, he plays like an experienced professional. He will undoubtedly become a huge star if he continues in this manner.
Güler’s performance, which came from one of the Premier League’s up-and-coming defensive talents, obviously garnered admiration from his opponents on the pitch in addition to the attention of the fans.
