Look how much better we play without Arda Güler! Better passing, more chances, more fluid football. Clearly, he's the problem. Let's just send him to PSG and let them suffer from having such a talented player. 🤡
JOSE MOURINHO ON ARDA G��LER: "WHY WOULD I PUT A BRAKE ON A PLAYER LIKE HIM?"
Journalist :
"Will you give Arda Güler more freedom on the pitch? Some believe he needs to be allowed to play his natural game."
José Mourinho:
"More freedom? Of course. What do you expect me to do? Buy a Ferrari and then tell the driver not to go above 50?
(Laughs)
Look, Arda has something special. You don't teach a player that kind of vision. You don't teach him how to see a pass before anyone else sees it.
Yes, he has responsibilities, like everybody else. But I'm not going to tell him to stop trying difficult things just because he might lose the ball.
If he makes a mistake, we work on it. Simple. But I want him to keep trying. That's why he's Arda Güler."
Journalist :
"But isn't there a risk that giving a young player too much freedom could affect the team's balance?"
José Mourinho:
"Ah, now we have a problem! (Smiles)
When a player makes five safe passes, everybody says he's disciplined. When he tries one special pass and loses the ball, suddenly everybody becomes a tactical expert.
I know football. I know what balance means. Don't worry about that.
My job is to make the team work, not to turn every talented player into a robot.
And believe me, I would rather have a player who tries to create something than one who is afraid to make a mistake.
Arda should play with his personality. I want him to enjoy football. The rest is my problem, not his."
@killeures Don't let anyone disrespect Vini. He was a Ballon d'Or contender last year. Stand by him in difficult times, not just when he's scoring. Vini is Vini. A superstar, always. 🤍
Both goals came from the right side: Valverde at RB, Arda on the wing. That’s how dangerous this side can be! If Diamonde and Bellingham cut down on their turnovers, the second half could be full of goals. 🔥
