Real Madrid midfielder Arda Güler has expressed his deep admiration and trust for Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, describing him as a coach he would do anything for, even if it meant taking on an unfamiliar role between the posts.
In a recent interview with L’Équipe, the young Turkish star said, “I have full confidence in everything Xabi asks me. If one day he asks me to play as a goalkeeper, I’ll go and immediately buy gloves!”
The statement has quickly gone viral among fans, highlighting the strong respect Güler holds for Alonso’s footballing philosophy and leadership. Though Alonso currently manages Bayer Leverkusen, his influence continues to extend far beyond the Bundesliga, particularly among players who admire his tactical intelligence and calm demeanor.
Güler’s comments reflect his humility and dedication, traits that have earned him praise at Real Madrid despite a challenging start due to injuries.
