Just like they did with all the signings last season, Marca made it their business to line up outside Nuri Sahins door, so that they could be the first ones to interview him since his signing with Real Madrid. Its a pretty great interview, and judging by his answers to the questions, I think Nuri will fit in perfectly at Madrid. And I bet youll be surprised at what his mobile ringtone is!
on signing for Madrid: signing for Madrid is not something that happens every day! When the agreement was finalized, you can imagine how it was. I was thinking to myself, Real Madrid player, Real Madrid player
It wasnt a hard decision, because its the biggest club in the world. If Madrid calls you, you go to Madrid. You cant say no to Madrid.
on his relationship with Mesut Özil: hes my friend and Im sure hell help me out a lot in my adaptation. We speak every two to three days because we have a great relationship, so you can imagine what it means for me to be able to play with him in Madrid. Hes told me that this is a special club, the biggest one you can be in. Hes enjoys playing football there and hes improving as a player. Hes very happy with my signing.
on what he knows about the city of Madrid: I understand that the people are very nice and the fans are affectionate. But the most important thing is the club, because you wont see me much in the city. I live for football 24 hours a day. I dont usually go out. Im married and I have a very tranquil and orderly life.
on the Bernabéu: I played there with the Turkish national team and its marvelous. When you go out there and you look up
¡Buf! I always wanted to play there and I remember that when I did, I realized one of my dreams. We lost the game, but I felt something special. Its a beautiful stadium with a great history.
on his language skills: I speak Turkish, German, English and Dutch. I think its important to understand the customs and culture of the places where you are, so Ive always worked hard to learn languages. I will learn Spanish quickly.
on his jersey number: I dont care about that, whatever they give me will be fine. Im not the type of player who cares about those kinds of things. I focus on the game, not the things around it.
And the personal test.
A car: Audi S5. Its the one I have, the best one Ive ever had and one that I never imagined I would own [well, now he can get one for free!].
A color: white.
A city: Istanbul.
A vacation spot: Antalya (Turkey).
A stadium: the Santiago Bernabéu and that of Borussia Dortmund, of course.
A movie: any that stars Denzel Washington, the best actor.
A book: The Alchemist.
A hobby: spending time with my family and playing Play.
A dream: to realize the dream of Real Madrid, which is to win the Champions.
A desire: health for my entire family.
You love
eating and sleeping.
You hate
lies.
Your ringtone: the Champions League hymn. In September, Ill hear it on the field.
A womans name: Tugba, my wifes name.
And here is a video of Sahin meeting his idol Cristiano back in 2008. Take care, my friend.
