Udinese holds the road at the beginning of the season Tolgay Arslan, bear the separation from Besiktas and Fenerbahce Sports, lived in Turkey with a new team and told the latest situation in Italy.
I CATCHED MY FORM
Things are going well for me at Udinese, I didn’t guess that myself. I caught my form from the first game. I had to get used to it for 3-4 weeks, a very different league, a different country. I quickly recovered, started playing, now it’s going very well. repression in Turkey is very different. I’m playing number 6 here, front libero. The expectations of your teacher, management and teammate are different. They do not expect goals or assists from me here, I am doing my duty here. I also scored a goal against Lazio 2 weeks ago.
Even if the fans stop in Turkey is waiting for goals, assists waiting. Here I am assisting the assist, setting the tempo of the game. The league is very tactical, maybe that’s why I got used to it quickly. It’s not easy to play here, I got a little lucky and started playing. I played, got used to it, playing is most important. We were playing with 3-way defense, which was new to me. As I played, I started to like the system.
Udinese has been a strong team physically and physically for years, a team that does well in defense. We have to pay attention to our first other defense. Regardless of the score, we do not break the tactic. Let’s be 3-0 ahead, behind, we all know where to stand. The team is a quality team, De Paul and Pereyra Argentina National players in the midfield, they also make my job easier.
I can speak Italian more or less, there are 2 hours of lessons per week. There are no translators here, everything is Italian on the field, so you need to learn very quickly. It was difficult at first because I didn’t understand anything. I asked the teacher, I asked my teammate, they said you cannot live if you do not learn Italian. I can understand 60-70 percent now.
WE REPRESENT TURKEY
Like my brother Hakan Çalhanoğlu, we played together. Of course I am happy if he scores assists or goals. We represent Turkey as well. So successful when, maybe in the next year will be much more transfers from Turkey. We represent not only football, but our nation here. I hope we will see more Turkish players here in the coming years. My manager and I worked very hard, we had a few cases in FIFA but failed. It seems that the national team will not have a chance, I support the national team, I hope success will come.
THERE WAS A PROPOSAL FROM TURKEY
We came from Turkey, but I did not want to leave so much to offer. After I went to Fenerbahçe from Beşiktaş, I felt a lot of pressure. It is not easy for the Turkish player to play in a big team in the country. I had the opportunity to play in a league like this, I thought here we develop and I left Turkey. Whether the fans, get the press, get management’s expectations everyone had in Turkey. Maybe a match will go bad, but they perceive everything with a match. I wanted a new start. I spent 5.5 years in Turkey incredibly nice, I do not regret any of the decisions, I do not want to change anything.
I’m sorry to what I said
After the transfer, I was saddened by the harsh statements I made from Beşiktaş to Fenerbahçe, and I could not speak. I was out of the squad during the Beşiktaş period, I was subjected to great injustice in my opinion. I made very emotional statements after the transfer, maybe it was harsh.
HOW DO I PLACE THE STADIUM?
The wrap talk started in Beşiktaş. If you think normally, how can you eat a wrap at halftime! People also believed it, it was like a joke. I didn’t say anything either, then I was out of the staff, there were different things there too. I don’t know the reason for being out of staff either. There was a payment problem, and I was not very pleased with this situation, maybe I also had mistakes, I did not expect it to go there.
BEŞİKTAŞLILAR RIGHT HALAL ETSİN
I was out of the squad for 3 months, I trained alone. I practiced on artificial turf, I was very broken. I have not seen my family. Beşiktaş fans had nothing wrong with me, they may not believe it, but they are still in my heart, I watch the matches, but at that point I said to myself that I had to close this notebook. But my explanations were very harsh, and I could not say that at all. Especially, Beşiktaş fans should make their right, I do. They always supported and stood behind me.
