Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler stated after the 1:0 victory against Juventus that he feels important in this team:

This season I feel very important in the team because of coach Xabi Alonso, who believes in me.

He asks me to control the tempo. If the Spaniard wants me to score or provide an assist, he moves me to the number ten position.

If he wants me to control the pace of the game, then I play in the number eight position.

20-year-old Arda Guler has scored 3 goals in 12 matches this season.
