Is Arda Güler Being Bullied at Real Madrid?
Turkish coach Serhat Bakkal accuses players at Real Madrid of bullying young player Arda Güler, who has not voiced complaints directly but is reportedly feeling uneasy about the situation.
Arda Güler, a young Turkish player at Real Madrid, is allegedly facing bullying from some teammates, according to his coach, Serhat Bakkal. In an interview with Turkish platform 'Sports Digital,' Bakkal stated that Güler has not complained to him directly, but given the environment, it was expected that he would face difficulties. He advised Güler to be patient amidst the challenges he is encountering as he assimilates into a prestigious football club like Real Madrid.
Bakkal emphasized that there is a group within the team that has not accepted Güler, and that this pressure is coming from certain players who have high egos. Güler, known for his calm demeanor, is reportedly starting to feel distressed by the constant targeting. His coach noted that while Güler is patient and aware of the circumstances, he has begun questioning why he is the focus of such negativity.
In a striking remark, Bakkal claimed that Fenerbahçe, Güler's former club, is 'bigger than Real Madrid,' citing the team's achievements and notable athletes as evidence. He expressed pride in Fenerbahçe’s history and contributions to the sport, suggesting a strong loyalty and connection to his former club, despite Güler's current professional challenges at Real Madrid.
