Coach Álvaro Arbeloa has delivered a strong message backing Arda Güler, praising the young midfielder’s growth and impact in key matches this season.
Arbeloa addressed early doubts around Güler’s ability to perform on the biggest stage. He pointed out how the narrative has changed after the youngster’s recent displays against European giants. According to him, there were questions when Güler first arrived, with many suggesting he was not ready for high-pressure games.
Those doubts, however, have quickly faded. Güler’s performances against top sides like Bayern Munich and Manchester City have become key talking points. Arbeloa highlighted these matches as clear proof of the player’s development and mental strength.
He stressed that Güler’s progress is not accidental. Arbeloa noted that he has always seen the midfielder’s natural talent, along with his commitment and work ethic. He also underlined the importance of learning from mistakes, something he believes Güler has done effectively during his early career phase.
The coach made it clear that the credit belongs to the player himself. He praised Güler’s desire to improve and his willingness to adapt, which have helped him reach a higher level in a short span of time.
