Turkey coach Montella: Good for everyone if Guler played more for Real Madrid

Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella admits he'd like to have seen Ard Guler playing more for Real Madrid.

Montella sees the youngster as a key part in Turkey's Euros push this summer.

He said, "It would be better for Real Madrid, the national team and Arda Güler if Arda plays a little more..."

Turkey's Italian coach also said that Arda will start the friendly match against Austria tomorrow afternoon.

Montella also said: "To be honest, I feel like we want to create problems when there aren't any. Arda is a player we want to see. He will probably start the next game. I want to ask a question, a player who hasn't played every game for 8 months... Do we need to risk the players?

"We should not get excited. I understand everyone very well, but we must be a little logical. We want to follow everyone, we want to evaluate everyone.

"I did not respond here with bad intentions."
