“Real” midfielder Arda Güler’s scout and former coach Serhat Pekmezci has given a shocking statement.
Publika.az reports that in an interview with the Turkish media, he stated that the 20-year-old footballer is facing psychological pressure at the Madrid club. According to him, some players in the team still do not accept Arda:
“There are interesting behaviors from certain players. There is a group that still cannot accept Arda. Unfortunately, these are players with very big egos. Although Real is a mega club, Arda Güler is suffering from bullying.”
Pekmezci noted that although the player has not complained to him directly, he knew from the start that such a situation could occur:
“He did not specifically complain to me, but he knew this would happen. I also advised him not to succumb to provocations. Arda is a very patient person, but he has already started to rebel.”
The expert also claimed that recently Jurgen Klopp stated in a conversation with club president Florentino Perez that some players should leave the team. According to Serhat Pekmezci, it was precisely the behavior of some players that caused Xabi Alonso to leave the club. Álvaro Arbeloa is experiencing the same problem.
