In a recent press conference, young midfielder Arda Güler shared very candid yet tactful remarks when asked about Lamine Yamal and the comparisons between the two young talents.
Arda Güler emphasized: “I don’t have much to say about Lamine Yamal because we don’t play in the same position. Comparing us isn’t really fair, but I understand why such comparisons are made – he plays for Barcelona, and I play for Real Madrid.”
The young player also expressed his respect for his colleague: “I’m not surprised by what Lamine Yamal is showing, as he is a very important and talented player. I’m sure he will give his all to challenge us. I wish him the best of luck.”
Regarding the upcoming match against Spain, Arda confidently stated: “Spain will have more ball possession, but we will play a great game. Of course, I have spoken with Carvajal and my teammates at Real Madrid, but when I return to Madrid, I want to stand alongside the team to secure a victory.”
Arda Güler’s responses demonstrate calmness and respect for his colleagues while still defending his own perspective, a stance very different from many other young players when faced with sensitive comparisons.
