On the piece of hearts Player’s Tribune Today, Arda Güler has pulled the curtain back on the surreal whirlwind that Diyarbakir took Santiago Bernabéu. “It was also broken to play with Alex Hunter” to become a real life version of the story.
The call that has changed everything
When Güler’s trip was quickly replaced in 2022 when he named Türkiye’s National Group. “They didn’t tell me too,” he remembered, while he saw the news again while they were scrolling through Instagram. From there, he was his meteoric rise. The transfer offers began to enter, but no one stopped his tracks until his father says two words:
“It’s a real Madrid.”
Below was the FaceTime call that Carlo Ancelotti could be a film scene. Italian Manager – Hawaiian T-shirt and sunglasses – said ArDar:
“It may not be the first year, but you will get options. When old modrić and Kroos are old, we can play you in the middle of the field.”
And then promise:
“Order me that you will come to Madrid. Promise, promise, promise.”
Güler’s response was easy:
“Of course, Mister.”
He and his father looked at each other and agreed with a Turkish saying:
“If you will drown, drown in the great sea.”
Real madrid welcome
The first days of Güler were foolish and awkward fears in Madrid. About not recognizing his anecdote Raúl – Yes, Raúl González – It is immediately iconic. When Ancelotti introduced him, Arda was convinced that he was another smile. It was not Kroos and Modrić shook his legend until he protected the identity.
“Okay, sorry. You’re really Raúl. You’re nice to meet you, sir.”
“Everyone laughed at Türkiye-boyfriend.”
The impossibility did not expect no one at all he expected: “Arda Abi” – Abi It means “old antoiot” in Turkish. Daughter and Rüdiger misunderstood the term and began to call he “ABI”, and now the youngest player dress is known as the “old brother”.
Modrić, guardians and micro-moments
The most highlights in Güler’s story are quiet and beautiful moments. Luka Modrić – Güler grew up a legend. Now he calls him to take free kicks or tell him to be ready during the break.
“This legend … I was fighting around me. I really moved.”
These moments are not targets or attendance, who feels like Güler himself.
But it doesn’t hide the emotional complexity to be in the chair. When Madrid raised Champions League Trophy, Güler felt unspecified by the celebration.
“I didn’t really want to lift the trophy, because I didn’t help the field a lot.”
It shares a scene that only happened in Real Madrid. Talking about José Mourinho, about José Mourinho, about Fenerbahçe. While his friends looked frantically on TV.
Patience, thanks, and great future
Güler’s story is patience – a rare feature in younger-generation football. He knows that it doesn’t start every game, but trusts the process, and most importantly, Ancelotti trusts.
“When Ancelotti says that he can be one of the best midfielder in the world, the club shows that it has a plan for me.”
“I broke up like Alex Hunter,” he said. “So I had to become real”.
Güler also explains some challenging challenges for playing for the largest club in the world.
“Playing in Madrid is easy,” he explains. “You know Modrić will find your run. The hard part is to learn Spanish.
