Mesut Ozil Urges Support for Arda Guler

Former Real Madrid star Mesut Ozil has praised Vinicius Jr, naming him the best player currently, contradicting Arsene Wenger's ranking of him as third after Salah and Mbappe. Ozil also expressed admiration for Arda Guler, a young talent at Real Madrid, likening him to himself and emphasizing the need for his protection as he struggles for regular playtime. Guler, rated highly by Ancelotti, has faced limited opportunities despite making 40 appearances since joining in 2023, drawing concern from Turkey's coach Vincenzo Montella about his international prospects. Ozil's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo was highlighted as his best on-field at Real Madrid, while Sergio Ramos was his closest off the field. Despite their strong partnership, Ozil's transfer to Arsenal in 2013 surprised many, including Ronaldo. Guler's development remains a focal point as Real Madrid competes on multiple fronts, with Ozil advocating for patience and support for the young midfielder.
