Waiting is over for Arda Turan and Barcelona ....After transferring to Barca last summer, finally Arda played his first match today in a cup match !
With his number 7 jersey , Arda Turan was on the pitch for 68 minutes ...
He played in the midfield and looked good while he was on the pitch ...
Arda Turan nearly scored a goal, after being played through by Messi , seven minutes before he came out of the match !
Goalkeeper Pau Lopez to deny him with an excellent near-post save.
Overall Arda , was no shape to finish to match ...
That's why his coach took him out at 68 minute !
HOW WILL ARDA TURAN FIT IN .......
Let's not forget this was cup game for Barcelona...
To order to start in the league matches it will be different story !
With Barca' s 4-3-3 formation ,Arda will replaces one of the big names ,Messi, Neymar and Suarez
When they are injured !
For him to start in the midfield ,he has to be much better ....
If he is fit, we will see him come off the bench and play more in the cup matches !
For sure, Arda Turan is the pride of TURKISH football now ...
His work just began ,if he wants to be there permanently!
I think, he has learned the new work ethic there , and he could still be better ...
He is idol to many Turkish kids around the world ...
Not to many TURKISH players have chance to play next to Messi !
I wish him the best ...
