http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 living in a dream world after a move to Real Madrid – La Liga
Many questioned the wisdom in Nuri Sahin’s move to Real Madrid in the early stages of the summer transfer window right after the Bundesliga season came to a close. Everyone pointed towards the fact that Real Madrid, a team which
already possess several world class central midfielders would not be an ideal destination for Sahin as the Turkish midfielder is still developing as a footballer. Now it seems that Sahin is determined to make it big in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
The former Borussia Dortmund playmaker is focused on gaining a first team place at Real Madrid but will it be possible for him to do so, that too in his first season at Santiago Bernabéu. There are a lot of hurdles for Sahin in
this situation, whilst it is always good to be ambitious at such a young age, an element of practically needs to be practised as well. Sahin did remarkably well for Dortmund’s Bundesliga winning season but now he is aiming to fit into Real Madrid’s plans for
the 2011-2012 season.
The competition for places in Jose Mourinho’s squad has already created some difference between the squad members and Sahin is only going to add fuel to the fire with his approach. There is no denying the statement that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045
is a sure shot starter for Real Madrid under any circumstances. If the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325. He will be Sahin’s main competitor at
Real Madrid if the Turkish international is determined to pin down a starting eleven spot.
However such a proposition seems an unrealistic one as Khedira is currently recognized player at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid, after having spent a year with Jose, he will be the managers favourite to start once again alongside Alonso when the
La Liga season resumes. Even when we take a look at Real Madrid’s bench, one soon realizes that Sahin might not even be a first choice substitute. He has to compete with Lassana Diarra, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919 for a place in Los Blancos side.
The only way Sahin can pin down a starting place is if Jose reverts to his favourite 4-3-3 formation which he used to good effect at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 and Sami Khedira
to influence the game in a positive way. He can roll forward to support the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 and Higuain or Benzema in attack but in a 4-3-3 formation, Mesut Ozil will be sacrificed for another winger which will most likely be Angel Di Maria. Not to mention
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 Kaka, who will be vying to make an impact at Madrid after having two injury plagued unsuccessful seasons at Santiago Bernabéu.
Thus signs of progression in Sahin’s career really do look grim at the moment. Maybe Mourinho has a plan up his sleeve but Sahin is a new comer at Real Madrid. It will take him time to cement a regular place in the starting line
up, something that might further hurt his chances of starting to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 in the EURO 2012 tournament are concerned. If Sahin wants to a starting place, he should’ve stayed in Dortmund where he was treasured by the fans because at Madrid, their appraisals are
directed at Alonso and Khedira already.
