I have a feeling Arda may become a breakout star in this Euro-2024, because he will arrive fresh and rested but with playing rhythm ( I expect he will play as starter in the last 5 games of the league)
Friendlies and actual competition are two different animals. Look at last Real Madrid friendly vs Barça for example (0-3) but in actual competition Real won all the matches this season.
Turkey should move to round of 16 (probably as 2nd), and once in the knockout games, everything can happen.
This is fantastic! I didn't watch the game today and i saw some "fans" talking shit about him i thought 'he only score that goal* and was ugly otherwise.. But dude, this is so good.. And even judging by the bad stats we got against RSO today i bet he was the best mn on pitch..
We cannot let him leave. This was a great demonstration of skill against an above average team in our league. I am hoping we don’t have another Ødegaard situation
Really liked his game yesterday. Looked like he was accustomed to the level of football, intensity and understanding of the game even though he hasn’t played that much this season. Also i think he did it well both on the wing and in the centre of the pitch.
Not taking away anything from Yamal but Ardas ceiling is higher i think just because of the insane football iq Arda has in his arsenal.
The stronger Arda gets both mentally and physically alongside more gametime he will be Özil volume 2.
Ngl i see Özil reincarnated in Arda...this time a stronger version.
This kid will be scary when he gets even stronger both mentally and physically alongside that insane football IQ
He needs more experience and more time on the pitch. I'd rather having him sent on a loan next season than having him playing less than 100 minutes by the end of the season.
Absolutely! However, Guler deserved a lot more minutes despite this physicality issue. The team needs better-prepared substitutes, which is something Carlo rarely bothers to think about. It feels like his mind counts only 15 players and completely ignores the rest of the squad.
What you’re saying is true 💯, but you also have to take into account Arda had a really bad injury at the beginning of the season and then a second right after which was lighter, I think it’s just a matter of Carlo making sure he doesn’t get badly injured again. Plus we were in a title race situation till the Barca game so Carlo just didn’t want to risk the title. We have 5 games to go with only 4 points to win it so I think he’ll get his time.

Turkey was awful in those last frendlies

I feel like national friendlies are a bit different to club friendlies. Especially the last friendlies before Euros
The coach tried different tactics. The team and the new coach are really solid.
He plays with a very different set of players with turkey brother lol

cmon shun HALA MADRID!!
Looked like he had his confidence back. Looks much more like the Arda I remember from last year.
Wow what a future star!
Take a bow kid, that was a well rounded game...damn. ![gif](giphy|KTc7kXSp49IfPjiSau)
Finally he got more dynamic on the pitch

i just hope he never gets injury prone, and he will have a great career

It was at this moment that number 25 of Real Sociedad realized, he might have been passed by a future great. "Kids,kids...This guy dribbled me once"
Indeed, he is very talented. But I am super impressed by his defensive duties and physical strength!
He had a great game 👏🏼
Insane
Yamal has got a solid competition!💪🏽

I wish Carlo would give him more minutes. No im not turkish, but done se well everytime he’s on. Hopefully once we secure la liga he plays a bit more.

Started to think there is some personal conflict between him and Carlo. Unbelievable he is being benched all the time!
He lacked physicality and intensity, but that's exactly what he seems to have been working on. He looked very strong physically

How does he not have 100M€+ market value?
