Mourinho develops Özil-style player
Coach José Mourinho believes that Real Madrid midfielder Turkish player Arda Güler has the qualities to become the new version of Mesut Özil, given the similarity in their playing styles, which focus on creating chances and making decisive passes. Since joining the club in the summer of 2023, Güler has been compared to Özil because of their Turkish roots and similar playing approach. However, the player has not yet established a consistent position due to his movement across multiple roles on the field. Mourinho hopes to develop him and give him a role akin to Özil’s previous one, especially after his good understanding with striker Kylian Mbappé. The coach is also awaiting an early exit opportunity with the Turkish national team from the 2026 World Cup to give Güler more time to prepare and adjust his course, aiming for him to become one of the team’s leading playmakers.
