Arda Güler's response to Lamine Yamal, clear message: He and I don't...

The forceful statements with which Arda Güler has expressed his opinion about Lamine Yamal

This international break features extremely interesting matches for all national teams. One of the most relevant is the one that will pit Spain against Türkiye, or more specifically, Güler against Yamal. "He and I don't play in the same position; our styles are different; it wouldn't be right to compare us," Güler stated.

In the traditional pre-match press conference, the young Turkish star made his stance clear regarding comparisons with Yamal. Although he is a much more talented player than the Spaniard, Güler has kept his humility in his words. "He plays for Barcelona and I play for Real Madrid; I wish him all the best for tomorrow," the player concluded.

These words may sound calm but are actually a warning for the match. Güler, known for his great competitiveness, has warned Yamal that he will give his all to seek victory. By rejecting the comparisons, Güler showed his intention to take the pressure off himself ahead of a match that will be talked about.

Yamal's opinion

At just 20 years old, Arda Güler is having a great start to the season. The young Turk has gone from being a substitute to an undisputed starter at Real Madrid, earning Xabi's trust. Playing a total of 8 matches (236 min.) so far this season, Güler has already scored 1 goal and provided 1 assist.

As the young star of his national team, comparisons with Yamal haven't taken long to appear. The Barcelona player has caused a lot of discussion since last season due to his behavior on and off the field. Güler's statements have shown that, contrary to what one might think, the player feels no pressure.

On the contrary, Arda Güler is motivated to seek victory against the Spanish national team. At his age, Güler keeps showing his extreme maturity to face extremely challenging matches. This is an attitude and mentality that Yamal lacks, who has long been self-proclaiming himself as one of the best players in the world.

There can only be one winner

From midfield, Arda Güler will be in charge of controlling the match against Spain. In the same way he has done at Real Madrid, Güler is ready to keep showing his immense talent. Playing in a position that allows him to support all his teammates, Güler is completely focused on achieving victory.
