Real Madrid and Turkey star Arda Güler has shared an emotional message following his national team’s disappointing World Cup campaign, admitting that he wants to put the tournament behind him as quickly as possible.
Speaking after Turkey’s difficult experience at the competition, the 21-year-old midfielder expressed his frustration and determination to move forward.
“In my career with the national team, I will do everything possible to forget this World Cup,” Güler said.
The statement reflects the disappointment felt by both the player and Turkish supporters after a tournament that failed to meet expectations. Despite entering the competition with optimism, Turkey struggled to produce the performances needed to progress, leaving players and fans frustrated.
Güler, widely regarded as one of Turkey’s brightest football talents, has become a key figure for both club and country in recent years. Known for his creativity, technical ability, and vision, the midfielder had hoped to help lead his nation to a memorable World Cup campaign.
Instead, the tournament ended in disappointment, prompting the young playmaker to deliver one of his most candid remarks since the conclusion of Turkey’s campaign.
Although the World Cup experience was difficult, Güler’s comments also underline his determination to learn from the setback and return stronger in future international competitions. At just 21 years old, he remains one of the cornerstones of Turkey’s long-term plans.
As attention shifts back to club football, Güler will be eager to focus on the upcoming season with Real Madrid while continuing to develop as one of Europe’s most promising young midfielders. Turkish fans will also hope their rising star can help guide the national team to greater success in the years ahead.
