The Portuguese coach claimed that Nuri Sahin has a long-term future with Real Madrid and will play when he is mentally and physically perfect.
If reports from Real Madrid dressing room are to be believed, the Capital club are quite concerned about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251’s situation. The summer signing has failed to claim a regular spot in the starting eleven, but Jose Mourinho is prepared to wait until the
Turkish midfielder returns to full fitness.
Los Blancos had high hopes with the summer signing as Mourinho looked at him as a key figure to strengthen Madrid’s midfield. However, this season has not seen Sahin ignite any of the eight games he has played so far.
The 2011 Bundesliga Player of the Year has been plagued by injury problems since his introduction to life in the Spanish capital. With Mourinho known for taking a cautious approach for players recovering from injuries, Sahin’s withdrawal from first team
responsibilities should not come as a surprise.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager explained his expulsion from regular action and added that Sahin has a long-term contract with the club and will show over time his real value.
"Nuri has not signed for five months, he signed for five years and now he will have time to show why Real Madrid noticed him and signed him to a reasonable price as is the market right now," he stated.
Mourinho recommended Sahin to Real Madrid and the Portuguese mentor often highlights the importance of the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
Real Madrid assistant manager, Aitor Karanka, shares the views of the head coach, and stated that he will be an important member of the squad for the rest of season.
"Sahin's going to come good for the remainder of season."
However, the coach wants Sahin to reproduce the quality that is optimally required by the capital club.
The injury-plagued midfielder will have a run out on the pitch for Los Blancos as they travel across town to Coliseum Alfonso Perez for their next league match.
The Turkish international will come in the squad to replace http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045, who suffered a muscular injury in Madrid's last league match against Real Zaragoza.
