Former Turkish international Emre Belozoglu has backed Arda Guler to get better under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid. Belozoglu, who is the current head coach of Antalyaspor, believes that the youngster is too talented to fail and will come out stronger as a result of the difficulties he has faced.
Speaking to AS, Belozoglu said that Guler is gifted and better than a lot of the youngsters in world football. He added that the Turkish star has the character to thrive after the difficulties he has faced so far at the Santiago Bernabeu. He said:
Guler spoke about Los Blancos earlier this year and claimed that he was ready to fight for his place in the squad. He said that the only thought in his head is to help the club win matches and titles. He told MARCA (via Yahoo):
Arda Guler played just 1249 minutes under Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid last season in LaLiga, contributing three goals and five assists. The Italian manager has now been replaced by Los Blancos, with Xabi Alonso taking over from the FIFA Club World Cup this month.
Arda Guler spoke to MARCA in March and claimed that he still believes in the plan presented to him by Real Madrid. He said that Los Blancos still support him and he is grateful for the club’s hierarchy and the fans. He said:
Guler has been linked with an exit in the last three windows, but the Turkish star is reportedly determined to stay at Santiago Bernabeu and fight for his place in the squad.
