Jose Mourinho showers praise on Arda Güler: ‘A different class’ | OneFootball

Jose Mourinho has been a man of great interest in Turkey since his move to Fenerbahçe in June. He spoke to the media in the country recently and talk about Arda Güler was high on the agenda.

As reported by Cadena SER, who are quoting HT Spor, the legendary Portuguese manager had heaps of praise for the 19-year-old, who has burst onto the scene over the last year.

“He is showing a great personality and that he is a different class.” The 61-year-old said when asked about the most exciting talent to come out of Turkey in years.

When speaking about the mentality needed to thrive in the Spanish capital, Mourinho said “To play for Madrid, personality is very important. Players must have internalised that they are good enough to play there, they cannot be scared.”

Plenty of eyes will be on Güler in the coming months to see if the young man from Turkey can continue his sharp rise following his breakout performances at Euro 2024.

The youngster has already made three appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season, starting in one of them, and he will be looking to get plenty more minutes as the season progresses and fixture congestion takes hold.
