Borussia Dortmund coach heaps praise on Real Madrid starlet ahead of UCL encounter.”

Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund is shaping up to be an exciting rematch of last season’s final. However, one significant change for the German side is the appointment of Nuri Sahin, who took over as head coach this summer, replacing Edin Terzic.

For Sahin, this encounter will carry extra sentiment, having once donned the Real Madrid shirt between 2011 and 2014. Though his time on the pitch for Los Blancos was limited to just ten matches, he’s very familiar with the atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu.

In the buildup to the match, Sahin has singled out fellow Turkish talent Arda Guler for praise. Speaking to Mackolik, Sahin expressed his admiration, stating, “Arda Guler is different. I want him to be very successful. Inshallah, one day I hope to be his coach.”

Despite the praise, Guler has endured a tough start to the season. He has struggled for regular game time under Carlo Ancelotti, with the coach reportedly unhappy with Guler’s defensive work rate. As a result, the young midfielder is unlikely to feature prominently in either the upcoming clash with Dortmund or the highly anticipated El Clasico against Barcelona.

While these struggles have sparked speculation about his future at the club, Guler remains committed to making his mark at Real Madrid. Whether he can turn his season around remains to be seen, but for now, patience will be key for the talented Turk.
